Neglect

I've been neglecting the Hub reading challenge. I wanted tor read every book on the list so I could get that e badge, but I have a good reason. Janet Evanovich has taken over my life. I'm obsessed with the Stephanie Plum series, I'm currently on book ten, Ten Big Ones. I started listening to them because I had to drive an hour to and from work everyday, but one say I couldn't get a hold of the audio book so I checked the book out and I've been speed reading them because I want to catch myself up in the series, and I must know

*****Slight spoiler but not really*******


what's going on with Stephanie and Joe, if they don't get married I'm going to lose it. I love the Stephanie Plum books because she just keeps going. She may lose three cars in one book, but she keeps trudging along. I also relate with Stephanie living on my own, working hard to pay the bills (although I'm not a bounty hunter), and I really want a hamster... or maybe a fish, I haven't decided yet.

Stephanie is funny, and snarky, and resilient, and she can rationalize anything like a pair of purple high heels. What's not to love.

Reading Challenge

So I've gone through the Hub list for 2013 and I've only read one book on the list. Epic Fail, I have a plan though to conquer. I will make sure that I always have one of the audio books in my car, I drive a hour each way to work so it should be easy to do those, and I'll try to get through the graphic novels as soon as I can. If you try really hard you can probably get through all of them in one sitting. As far as the books are concerned, I just make sure to always have one on hand. It shouldn't be too hard... I think.

2013 Hub Reading Challenge

So as if I didn't have enough to do already, I got a newsletter from YALSA today, apparently the 3rd one they've send out *shrugs* and there's this reading challenge that they do. YALSA has compiled a list of of 83 YA books that have either won an award or was honored during this years voting, if you read 25 of them you can post a review and it will be published on The Hub and you'll be entered into a drawing to win a tote bag full of books. If you read all 83 book they'll also send you a digital badge (which for some reason I want really bad).

The challenge started on February 3rd (I'm a few days behind), and ends June 22nd. The winner will be announced in June 24th.

Let the games begin!



(P.S) this was on the other page that I'd set up but I think I'm just going to list the books and post on the main page.
