Awesome....

So, as you all know I had pneumonia recently.
Because of this awesomeness, I ended up a week behind in my schoolwork.
Said schoolwork is a giant pain in my a**.
Anyways, tomorrow starts my next TWO classes while I try to catch up in the first.
To add insult to injury, my ex, who agreed to pay for internet till August
because I'm in school this summer, didn't pay last months bill.
After a nice...er, interesting chat (promise I wasn't mean), I've decided to 
get internet for myself because I can't deal with him much anymore.
That being said, I won't be posting many reviews/memes 
this week and the recently ended giveaway winners will be 
selected and announced as soon as I have internet again. 

I hope everyone has an awesome week!
Can't wait to get back to you guys!!!

School Related:
I'm on spring break!

Books:
This past week I got through 2 of my 3 planned books and got to see the midnight showing of The Hunger Games on the day of release which was awesome.

This week I am hoping to get through a lot of books, like 8 or 9.  I have a lot of review requests and book tours coming up next month then finals the first week of May, so I'm trying to get as much reading done now so I can focus on studying later.  Here is what I hope to accomplish while laying out in the sun...

It's Sunday


Hi everyone!

It's Sunday which means I'm going to tell you what I have planned this week!!

School Related:
I have one exam this week on Wednesday!  The only other thing I have to do this week is finish my research and write my paper, which I will hopefully do most of today.  Shouldn't be a hard week so no worries on the lack of reviews like last week.

Books:
This past week I got through 1 of my 3 planned books.  However, I did start a book I will be hosting here on Monday March 26.

This week I am hoping to get through 3 books, if not 4.
Whispering Hills by Taryn Browning
     - Check back on March 26 for my review and a giveaway!!
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
     - I promise I will read and review this before Friday.  I will also be seeing the
        movie at the midnight showing on the day of release!!
Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter
This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen

Last but not least, I am super excited to say I will not be posting anything on Saturday this week.  I will not be anywhere near my computer because I will be seeing Go Radio in concert!!!

Sunday Update!

Hey everyone!

It's Sunday which means I'm going to tell you what I have planned this week!!

School Related:
I have two exams.  One on Monday in one of my exercise physiology classes and one on Tuesday in Nutrition. That being said I won't be reading much today or tomorrow, but I will hit the books again on Tuesday afternoon.  Also, I have a paper due later this month on the 22nd that I need to start researching.

Books:
This past week I got through 2 of my 3 planned books, but Defiance was released early so I kinda absolutely had to read it as soon as humanly possible...and I did, until 4 in the morning on Saturday.

This week I am hoping to get through 3 books, but it really depends on how much time I put into my paper.  So without further ado my book choices for this week consist of....
Enchantment by Charlotte Able
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter

Finally, I am giving away all 3 e-books in Shelly Crane's Significance Series.  You can find this giveaway here.

It's going to be a long week....


Hey everyone!

It's Sunday, so it is time for my weekly update!

This week is going to be crap on toast for me. I have a midterm! Now, most of my classes don't have midterms, however, one of my Aquatic Therapy classes does. My prof. for aquatics is the best ever, but she only gives us a midterm and a final. Yes, you read that correctly, a midterm and a final. So, for this particular aquatics class my test is Tuesday morning at 8 AM. In my other aquatics class, I have my Certified Pool Operator Certification exam on Thursday at 10 AM. This is a huge test which could mean putting me on top of all other applicants when I apply for a job as an aquatic therapist. That being said, the amount of reading and reviewing I will be doing this week is small. Hopefully, I will have my next review posted on Thursday evening. I'm crossing my fingers!

Wish me luck!

Books I plan to read this week:
Only the Good Spy Young by Ally Carter
Accordance by Shelly Crane
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Finally, if there are any books you would like me to review email me or leave me a comment below!

Weekly Update

Hey everyone! It's Sunday. That means I get to enlighten you to my weekly schedule!!

My nutrition test last week was cake. Can you say 96% with no studying?!
I can! : ) This week my schedule consists on going to class, reading, and sleeping. I should be able to get through, or start, all of the books I list below, unlike last week.

Because of WVU Dance Marathon yesterday, I was unable to finish Gallagher Girl number 2, Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy. I should have my review up in the next couple of hours.

Books I plan to read this week:
Intangible by J. Meyers
Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover by Ally Carter
Significance by Shelly Crane
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Finally, if there are any books you would like me to review email me or leave me a comment.

It's Sunday....

Hey everyone!  It's time for another weekly update...

I have one exam this week on Tuesday in Nutrition which should end just as amazingly as my last Nutrition exam and shouldn't affect my reading. Yay! I have a few books I want to get through this week which I will post below.

Because the fifth book in Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls series is coming out soon, I have decided to review one of the books in the series each week leading up to the release of Out of Sight, Out of Time.  Yesterday I posted my review for the first book in the series, I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You.   

Also, I am going to start participating in Waiting on Wednesday, a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. There are a lot of books coming out this year that I am dying to get my hands on and want to know what books everyone else is looking forward to reading.

I am no longer sick!! However, I do still have the horrible cough.  : (


And now the books:
Forbidden by Syrie James & Ryan M. James
Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy by Ally Carter
Hooked by Catherine Greenman
I'm Not Her by Janet Gurtler

Finally, if there are any books you would like me to review email me or leave me a comment.

And So Begins Another Week!



Hey everyone!! It is Sunday and time for a weekly update!

This week I have one exam on Monday but already have a book review set to launch so no worries about a day without a review or post!  Tuesday is Valentine's Day and I'm still trying to decide which book I want to read and post for this very special day. I'm between Sometimes It Happens by Lauren Barnholdt or Forget You by Jennifer Echols. Anyways, this weeks Friday Five Day will be my five favorite book series and why I love them.

Also,  I am sick. Ugh...  I have been in bed all weekend with a sore, itchy throat coughing every ten minutes. I honestly think this was brought on by this crappy, supposedly winter weather we have been having. It should not be 40-60 degrees in January and February, but the temperature has finally dropped and I see snow!  I am super excited for this winter wonderland but now I have to lug my winter coat around with me. 

Anyways, I hope everyone has a great week. If you have any requests for books you would like me to review be sure to send them my way! I would love to hear from you!!
