October TBR 2017

I love OCTOBER!!!!!!! The month I live for!! I love Halloween!! It has always been my favorite holiday. Even when I was a kid. I get sad when it is November 1st. Even though some of my family members make fun of me for not liking scary movies. I think you can still love Halloween without some of the spookiness.

My hopes for reading October. Is to read alot. I do have one weekend where I won't be focused on reading. My best friend is getting married. I'm the maid of honor.

Misty over at The Book Rat is doing the 30daybookbinge again. I am totally in. I know I should list the books I want to read. But we all know I never really stick to it. Instead of saying these are the books I want to read. I'm just going to go with the flow. I do want to read Halloween like books.

What are your reading plans for October? Will you be reading scary books? Or are you like me and keep it tame... I can read R.L. Stine. So yeah....


Happy Reading, Ashley

Bout of Books 20 Wrap Up

I had good intentions of getting some serious reading done during the Bout of Books 20. However life had other plans. On Sunday August 20th, my mom found a cat who had been thrown out a car window right in front of my mother's car. I've been taking care of him. He was unwell the first few days. He is doing good. He is in heat, meowing all the time....I mean all the freaking time. But he will be getting fixed in 7 days as of today!!!! Then it will be introducing him to his other siblings and the dog.

So needless to say I didn't succeed in my TBR for Bout of Books 20. I still do want to finish The Violet Eden Chapters series. I am almost finished with book 2 Entice. I might take a short break and read some other books and then go full steam ahead with books 3,4 and 5.


I hope September will be a less crazy month in my personal life. And that I can get some good amount of reading done. I'm currently thinking of maybe doing NaNoWriMo this year. I can write songs. Stories are my trouble area. I really want to write a story and turn into a novel. That would be awesome. But I don't think it's in the cards for me. But right now I'm just thinking of maybe doing NaNoWriMo. We will see.

On Saturday August 26th my brother race the final points race at the Selinsgrove Speedway. He might be up for Rookie Of The Year. I hope he gets it. He puts his heart and soul into racing.

How did you during the Bout of Books 20? If you participated in the readathon.
