Read-A-Thon Day One

Right after midnight I started to read Cinder. Unfortunately I didn't get to read as much as I wanted to because of work...

I read 165 pages.

Tuesday is my day off so I plan to read as much as I can.

Sorry this update was so short... Got to get back to reading!

Starting Back with a Bang

Now that my life is calming down, I am up and running again. I figured what better way to get back into the swing of things than with a read-a-thon.

I am going to join in on the Bout of Books Read-a-thon which is being on Monday the 13th.

Here is their official blurb:

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, May 13th and runs through Sunday, May 19th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 7.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. 
- From the Bout of Books team

 My personal goal is to read 2-3 novels in the week. I think that is a reasonable goal. I guess we'll see if I'm right next Sunday.

Struggling to Find Time

With school coming to a close I am truly struggling to find time for anything.

Here are the next few weeks of my life:

This week

  • 15 page paper
  • presentation
  • 33 hours at work
Next week
  • 10 page paper
  • 5 page paper
  • 2 presentations
  • 31 hours at work
The following week
  • 3 finals
  • 12 hours at work
  • trip to New Jersey/New York


The up side? After that I am done with college! Even better? I have a full time job waiting for me in the middle of May.

Yes, yes I'll get to the point. What does this mean for you? Basically the rest of this month I will not be around. I doubt I will post again until May. I am truly sorry about this. May will be another story though. I will have a set work schedule therefore I can plan my life accordingly. You can expect 2 (maybe 3) posts a week. Also I will have time read again. 

I can not express in words how thrilled I am about having time for the things I love again. I am sorry that I still have a few more weeks to wait though.

Coming to a Close

My final semester as an undergrad is coming to a close. As it finishes, I realize that there is so much left to do. I have presentations, papers, and exams galore. That is not even including the extra hours I took on at work. Something is going to have to be let go. Since I can't ditch school or work, it will be reading that is lost in the madness.

Don't misunderstand me, I will still be posting on here and trying to make videos. Also I will still read, just not at the same pace. If I am going to be completely honest with myself, March was a slow month of reading as well. Had it not been for audiobooks I would have fallen behind on my goal. So this month, I will continue listening to audiobooks, and I will read as much as I find time for.

This is just a heads up that if I want to graduate in May (which I desperately do) I will need to have less reading time. Come May it will be an entirely different story. I will only be working (and looking for a big girl job) so there will be more than enough time to catch up next month.


P.S. After graduation I also plan to put much more effort into this blog as well as my videos. That's something to look forward to.

Success and Failure

So currently I am sitting 4 books ahead of schedule to complete my 50 Book Challenge this year. Go me! Clearly this is my success, but I didn't just challenge myself to read 50 books. The second layer to my challenge was to read a certain number of books in the following categories.

Read 3 Classics
  •  Lolita
  •  
  •  
Read 3 2013 Releases
  •  Etiquette and Espionage
  •  
  •  
 Read 2 Non-fiction
  •  
  •  
Complete 3 Series
  • Hush, Hush Saga
  •  
  •  

As you can see, in this regard, I am failing. Yes, yes, it is only the 4th month of the year, but that is almost halfway through. My fear is that the last few months of the year I will be suck trying to finish out these challenges and not getting the chance to read what I want at that moment.

Now is the time to kick it into gear. I am not worried about the 2013 releases, but the others I am going to try harder on. That will start today with the beginning of April.

The Proper Choice

This month I decided to read the first book in both of Gail Carriger's series.

Finishing School - Etiquette and Espionage
The Parasol Protectorate - Soulless


At first I wanted to read Soulless first only because I have owned it for so long, but then I heard everyone comparing the two novels. Overall what I got was that E&E was poor in comparison to Soulless. Surely it was just the jump from Adult fiction to YA that caused the change in style, but either way hearing this changed my decision. Maybe I am just weird that I did not want to read the better of the two novels first, I don't know what other people would have done honestly.

Here was my thought process: If I read the weaker of the two novels first, it might not seem so bad. If the novel was a strong novel on it's own, but only weaker in comparison to Soulless, then I would be satisfied with it. Having not read Soulless yet, I would have nothing to compare the novel to. If the novel were in fact a weak novel all on it's own then I would have the stronger novel to look forward to. I would just have to make my way through E&E to get to the novel everyone enjoyed.

I think I was right to make this choice. E&E was not poorly written by any means, it was just slow. The story was there even if it did drag at the beginning and go too quickly at the end. I will be picking up the second one when it is released, but I was definitely glad to get to Soulless. Now I am only about a third of the way through Soulless, so I can't say much just yet. So far though I am much more satisfied with this novel, just as everyone said. I will wait to see how it finishes out before I make my final judgement though.

Supergirl Vol. One

Let me start off with the fact that I loved this!

Once again I had no prior knowledge of Supergirl. Honestly, I am not very familiar with Superman either, so the back story of Krypton was new as well.

This Vol. One is probably one of the best I have read in regards to back story and forming a solid foundation for a series. Most of this trade was in fact just Supergirl's background information. That can turn some people off, especially those already familiar with the character, but for me it was a true selling point. I feel like I learned everything I need to know in order to appreciate the story arc that will come with the next volume.

Let's get on to the emotions of this volume. Supergirl wakes up on a new planet with no real memories of how she arrived there. She then bumps into her cousin, finding him a man when only yesterday (or so she thinks) he was a baby. Superman informs her that her planet is gone and all of her family is dead. These are some pretty heavy things to wake up to. Her emotions are just right to make the whole story believable. The reader almost goes through all five stages of grief with her. This realistic portrayal only made the story stronger.

Then there was Superman. I thought that when he came into the story near the beginning he might overshadow Supergirl, but that was not the case. Superman was used almost as a tool. He informed Supergirl about where she was and what had happened to her family, but he did little else. He tried to explain his beliefs on humans, but he did not push Supergirl towards any one path. I appreciated this because sometimes in comics the more popular characters can overshadow lesser known ones.

Supergirl herself feels like a well founded character. She acts appropriately for her age and situation. More than that though, she is just likable. I wanted to follow her story, because I wanted to know what happened to her.

Overall I give this one a five out of five stars. I read the entire thing in one sitting because I just did not want to stop at all. This is definitely something people should go pick up.

Trying Really Hard

I think I ruined my reading month by doing so well last month...

As of right now, I am still 2 books ahead in my reading challenge. I'm not worried about that, I'm just bummed about not reading much this month. Shame on me.


Hopefully, I will get back into it now that I am on my spring break (aka week of reviews). Talking about a bunch of books should get me excited about reading again.

I'm trying... I am.

Organizing Books

Here's the deal, the majority of my books have not been with me recently. They have been living in storage in a number of locations just waiting for me to have the space for them. It's not that I haven't wanted to keep my books close, I have. It's just that there is no room for them.

Well, it finally got to the point where all of the new books I have gotten recently have no place to go either... In fact, they have been sitting on the floor mostly. So I sucked it up, did some creative rearranging, and bought a bookshelf. Now, this shelf will not completely fix the problem, but it will help. Also my boyfriend is finishing some wall shelves he is making for our room. Hopefully between all the new shelving I can fit most of my books. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

In hopes that I can now house them, I brought a laundry basket full of my books to my new place. So that is another thing I will be doing this coming week. I will organize my books. I will do it. I will.

There will be pictures to follow. Get excited for pictures.

Week of Reviews

My spring break is this month and I decided I would spent my free time doing book reviews... Who wants to go to the beach, right?

Starting March 18th and going through Sunday March 24, expect a book review every day. I am going to film video reviews that are brief, and then I will also do a written reviews that will be more inclusive.

I don't want to give away too much about any of the books I will be choosing, but you can probably look forward to reviews about the books I read last month as well as some I am currently reading. Do leave a comment if there is a specific book you want me to review.

Hopefully you are as pumped as I am.

Wonder Woman Vol. One Blood

Let me start of by saying that I did not get into DC Comics until the New 52. So this volume was my very first introduction to Wonder Woman. Well, I did read the Wonder Woman Issue Zero, but that doesn't really count.

The artistry should be noted first, I think. The cover to the trade is what first caught my attention. There is a timeless quality to Wonder Woman, but at the same time this cover seemed to show the current time period as well. The actual issues themselves do not disappoint either. Cliff Chiang did the concept art, cover art, and the first 4 issues. I have no complains about any of his art work. Honestly, I did not enjoy the fifth and sixth issues as much. They were illustrated by Tony Akins. Don't get me wrong I have no real complains about Akins work, those issues just didn't catch my eye as much as the earlier ones.

As for the storyline, I don't want to get into it too much. What I will say is that I thought it was a thorough introduction to the character of Wonder Woman. The addition of Greek Gods into the storyline was also a good choice. Most importantly though, I wanted to pick up Vol. Two after I finished this one.

Over all this was one of the better trades I have read recently. I don't know about DC previous to the New 52, but I am enjoying what I am reading of DC currently.

I'll Get Back To Them

I have to admit that I have a few books that I started, but I never got around to finishing. Being completely honest, there are only two of them... That's not so bad I guess.

No matter how many of current reads I have, they need to be finished. Looking at GoodReads frustrates me at this point because it always says I am reading 3 or 4 books when I am really reading 1 or 2. There seems to be no reason to take Game of Thrones and The Damned Busters off of my currently reading list though... I am in the middle of them and I will finish them at some point. The more I look at them the more I want to finish them just to clear my current reads. That's why I am going to read either one of those novels if I complete my TBR list for this month.

I will complete these before the end of 2013.

Where Do Audiobooks Fit?

Currently I am spending about 3 hours in a car every Monday through Thursday and another hour in the car every other day of the week. With that much driving time I don't know why I didn't think of listening to audiobooks before. Yes I do, audiobooks are expensive. There was no reason to buy an audiobook just to listen to it for a week or so and then never use it again. At least that was the case until I got my library card. Free audio books that I can listen to once and not feel guilty about never listening to again. It was the best find of the month.

Now my confusion is, where to audiobooks fit into my reading. Do they count as part of the fifty book challenge? I listened to the entire book, didn't I? Though I did not sit down the the book in hand, I did make it through the entire thing. Honestly, I probably spent more hours listening to it than it would have taken me just to read the novel. This is nothing more than making use of unused time. On some level, though I still feel like its cheating. The books I listen to should not count as part of my challenge. I just need some other opinions.



Do audiobooks count or not?

Putting a Book Down

Personally one of my biggest weaknesses in life is motivation. Finding it, keeping it, etc. Sadly, I have to admit that reading is no different than any other aspect of my life... Motivation isn't always there. In fact, until I get into a book I have a really hard time making myself pick it up at all.

Usually when I finish a novel, I feel so accomplished, but that does not translate into wanting to repeat the action. Unless it is a novel I have been looking forward to reading, I don't desire to grab the next novel. It just seems so weird to be because I really do love to read. Plus I know what I like and what I don't like... It's not like I am buying books I should have any issues with reading, in fact I only buy books if I really know I am going to enjoy them. Even still I have to force myself to start reading that next book and get myself into the story.

Let's be honest though, no matter how great the book sounds or how many amazing reviews it's gotten, sometime there is just a novel I don't like. When it comes to those the motivation is no where to be found. I don't want to finish it, usually I don't even want to get to the next chapter. The problem with that is that some books just have a slow start. There have been numerous books that I have forced myself to read which started out slow, but I ended up really enjoying.

So here's the question, when reading four or five chapters takes an excruciating about of time and energy do you put the book down or force yourself to keep going. I used to be that I would force myself to continue on, but when I am trying to read 50 books in a year that's just not realistic. I can't spend 3 weeks putting a book down and trying to force myself to get into something I just don't enjoy. So for this year, I am going to just put books like that on hold. If I have time later in the year to pick them back up maybe I will try, or maybe next year I will give them another go. For now though, I just don't have the extra time to spare.

Epic Fail/Get Excited for Comics

Basically this week has been the week from hell... So that's why this post didn't go up on Monday like it was supposed to. Yep, I suck. Sorry about that, but I guess it's better late than never. Right?

What sucks even worse than my lack of a post on Monday? Well, this delayed post isn't even going to have very much content. Good thing I am on the other side of the computer screen, otherwise you might try to throw things at me.

Now that you know I am a terribly awfully sucky person, let's get on with the point of this post. Ever since I brought my Youtube channel back to life and started this blog, I've been saying that I want to do something with comics. Now is that time. Every Monday for the next handful of weeks (at least 3, but probably more) I am going to look at a comic involving a female lead. Most of them will be female super heroes, but they don't necessarily have to be. In the hopes of equality, there will be some weeks that focus on Marvel and some on DC. Personally, my collection of comics is lacking in the independent publishers, but I will see if I can find some to include.

What will next Monday bring you? You can expect a look into The New 52 Batgirl Vol. One.

Please leave a comment with your thoughts. If you have a comic you want me to look at let me know. If you want me to focus on comics that also have male leads, I want to know that as well. Hell, if you hate comics and don't want me to focus on them every Monday, please tell me. The only way for me to develop this blog into something we all enjoy is if you tell me what you like and don't like. Thanks!


P.S. I finished Mothership a few days ago. I will probably the info about it tomorrow.

Library - Do or Do Not?

Here's my deal, I haven't been to a public library since I was a little kid. Probably about the time I was 11 or 12 I started buying most of my books. By the time I was spending my own money, I was buying all of my books. Now I go to my school library all the time, but even there I don't check out books. More often than not I am just using online databases or ebooks. But I think things are about to change.

Money is super tight right now and will be at least through graduation in May. After that maybe things will loosen up a bit, but we'll see. For now though, I just don't have the resources to spend all my money on books even if that's what I wish I could do. So I started to rethink my stance on the library.

What do I have against the library really? Well, mostly that I don't get to keep the books even if I love them. It's true that I could always go back and buy the books later if I really wanted to, but at that point I doubt I would read them again. Why buy the book if I know I won't read it? Basically it's to be vain and have it look pretty on my bookshelves... which I don't have right now. So I would want to the book to look pretty on my future bookshelves that I will have when I am finally settled in one place for more than a year. Even to me that sounds crazy. If I love the book and want to reread it then I can go buy it at that point, in which hopefully I will already have my bookshelves.

The benefit of the library? It's free, as long as you return the books on time. Getting to read more books for free, what an awesome idea.

For now things are looking up for the library. I just got a new library card and hopefully will get some use out it in the near future.

Maybe I will completely change my mind about the library, or maybe I will go back to buying books as soon as I have the funds to do so... I'll just have to wait and see how it plays out.

Finding a Balance

My biggest challenge right now is trying to find a balance in my life. Honestly, I am trying to balance all aspects of my life, but specifically reading.

If I could, I swear I would read every day for most of the day. Unfortunately I just don't have the time for that. Which is why I have always been curious about the people who read 100 books in a year. Where do they find the time? Maybe it's the fact that I am a slow reader as well. It just takes me longer to finish a book... Even if I was a faster reader, I doubt that I would be able to read much more than 50 books in a year just because of time restraints.

School and work eat up most of my day, plus there is still eating and sleeping. Then there are my 4 pets I have to take care of and give attention to. (If you want to know more about my animals check out chrissyandashleygotovegas.com tomorrow.) Add blogging (I have 3 blogs) and vlogging (just one channel) to my free time and I am left with very little. Oh yeah and my boyfriend wants me to pay attention to him every once and a while too. Needless to say I read when I can. Not to say that I can't get much reading done, I do stick to a schedule of about a book a week, which is more than some people can say.

I just feel like so many people get much more reading done than I am able to do. Jealousy is the root of the issue though. Being able to get through that many books in a month or a year is something I would love to be able to do. There are just so many great books out there (with more coming out all the time) that I just want a chance to get at more of them. At the end of the day though, my life is what it is and I can read only what I can.

Maybe after graduation I will have more time to read... or maybe I will have less. Let's hope for the first.

Vlogging It Up

That's right, I do have a vlog as well. Honestly, I started it last year, but it's been idle for months now. With moving a few times, changing jobs, and classes, last year just got too crazy to keep up with everything. This is a new year though!

I was so productive and actually filmed and posted a video on Youtube right at the 1st of the year. What I didn't realize though was that I made it private... Only I would make that kind of mistake. Continuing to see that my "welcome back" video had zero views was very disheartening, but I decided to film another. It was upon posting my second video of the year that I realized the first one was set to private. Moral of the story, watch all of your setting... So now there are two current videos posted. Go me.

I know the other day we talked about scheduling the blog, well my vlog is going to be the same way. I will post videos every Wednesday and Friday. Yes, that means there will be a new blog post and a new vlog on Fridays. If you get sick of me then ignore one of them, or both.

What is different about my vlogs? The big difference is going to be book hauls. I will not be posting any book hauls to this blog, so if you want to know what I am buying the vlog is the place to find out. I will also be filming certain reviews, usually the books I enjoyed the most. It's still up in the air if comics will be filmed or not. More than likely I will film videos about the trade paperbacks I purchase, and then blog about the individual issues. Don't hold me to that though. More than that, there will just be some fun videos I make like book shelf tours, tags, etc.

All of this amounts to... I have a vlog. Check it out if you want.

Changes Coming

The more I think about it the more I want to form this blog into a complete book blog, not just a record of the books I've read. Fear not, I will still keep posting a list of the books I've read as I read them, but I will also do more than that.

Here are a few things to look forward to:

book reviews
book chats
writing discussions
comic chats

I am sure I will add more to the list, but that is what I have in mind at this moment.

There is even something better than all of that... What can it be? A schedule. That's right, I will be posting twice weekly, Mondays and Fridays. (Yes, I know that today is Tuesday, but from now on Mondays and Fridays.)

Let me know if there is anything else you want to discuss and I will see what I can do.

Books I Want

Sorry about the crude pictures, but I took them on my phone at the book store.

50 Book Challenge

I have always loved reading. As an English major, reading is a major part of my school work as well. That's why it is crazy that I have never been able to complete the 50 book challenge. This year is different though. I only have two classes left before graduation, that means I have much more free time for pleasure reading. That's why this is the year for me to complete the challenge.

I will read 50 books this year. More than that I am going to blog about every single one to keep track.
