Books Read this Week: 


So far this month I've read 26 books (I have no idea how I managed this but since I'm 19 books ahead of my challenge I'm not complaining lol). Due to the amount, I'm not going to list them here this week, but if you want to check out what I've been reading, check out my Goodreads challenge!

New in my Reading/Blogging/Personal Life: 

Nothing that exciting happening here. 

 Still enjoying my time off and reading some AMAZING books. I've been keeping up with my challenges, which is a first. And thanks to the #BeatTheBacklist Challenge I've already read seven "old" books. Out of the seven three have been five-star books! I need to get going on my Debut Author Challenge, though. I've only read 1 book so far for that. I'm also super excited about my book haul so far this month. I got several approvals that rolled in at the same time. Goal of this week, however, is to keep up with my email. I've been slacking ever since the holidays. 

The weather has been nuts in PA! The first week of January brought  incredibly cold temperatures. On our worst days the wind chill was around -25, which is a first in my lifetime at least. Then this week we got a warm spell, bringing temperatures in the 50s and 60s! I couldn't believe it - I was actually able to put my car windows down! But as of Saturday we're already back to the brutal cold. I just want Spring already. 

Have a great week everyone!

  9. I can't believe you've read 26 books so far this month! Wonderful! I've only read 5 I think. My Goodreads challenge keeps telling me I'm 2-3 books behind schedule. Lol! It's just been a busy real life month. I got a copy of Not That I Could Tell as well and I hope we both love it. Yay that you enjoyed Rancher's Baby, too! Maisey Yates has been a hit for me this last year. Stay warm! :)

  11. OMG, I could not do 26 books so far unless it was like 100 pagers and even then it would be hard! Awesome tho!

  13. Wow some amazing books! Really looking forward to your thoughts on The Belles and Winter Glass - I haven't read Spindle Fire yet, but I love retellings and Winter Glass has a lovely cover. The Belles is also gorgeous.

    Hope you keep warm! I envy your chilliness, haha ;) Here it's so hot and I hate the heat.
