September Problems

It's annoying but it's happening. I'm not blogging as much as I want to these days! I had planned out September to be this great month with exciting new posts - hell yesterday and today there were going to be new reviews up - but alas, life is poking me in the rib and asking me to pay attention to it more. So here I am with my lame and generic excuses.

• University is quickly sweeping me up and rolling me under all it's work. A part of it is me constantly procrastinating, but seriously, I have a stack of assignments and tests to study for. I don't ever find time for anything else more! 

• Lack of time also means I don't get to read much either. I've actually hit a reading slump, and have over 3 books that are currently "on-hold" until further notice. Usually I read on the train ride into uni and back out, but now I just sit there and listen to music instead. This is freaking me out! 

• When I do have time, I'm working. That $$ you know. 

I just have to push through these next couple of weeks and shuffle my schedule around so at least I've got some content for you guys. Sit tight because I'm not going anywhere yet. 

I just wanted to say sorry and explain the situation, that's all!

Hope you have a great month!

Bout of Books 11.0 Wrap Up

So it's the end of Bout of Books, but I've been so caught today with things happening I haven't had time to film my review. Instead, here's my written wrap up!

Books Read

Page Count

1232 pages

Progress

I feel like every time I take part in Bout of Books, I can never get anything done. I woke up Monday morning nauseous and dizzy, actually staying in bed for 24 hours. I tried to read but only got through 45 pages of World After before feeling like I had to puke again. It was not fun. 

I managed to finish World After on Wednesday, and loved every moment of it. It was so intense and exciting, bumping up the series on my favourites list! I started Crown of Midnight and really felt like it was chore reading the first half. I had to push through but once the second part started, I eased right into the story and flew through the action packed storyline. 

Friday came around and I finished CoM, but didn't read anything else that day. On Saturday morning I woke up and remembered I had downloaded Dangerous Girls for free so I decided to give it a go. Little did I know, Abigail Haas had me hook, line and sinker. I finished it in 2 hours and could not get enough. I read a little of The Man Called Ove - around 100 pages - but did not finish it, fizzling out on the last day.

Final Thoughts

It was actually a decent effort considering I planned to read 4 books, and finished 3 and a bit. I actually read some pretty amazing books though, which was the best part of this read-a-thon. Hopefully when the next Bout of Books happens again, I won't be held down by life things because that seriously gets annoying.
