@littlejulez: TBH it's because I started playing a game. I was going to wait until after I read ballad of songbird and snakes, but a friend started playing it so I decided to play it too so we could discuss it as we go.

I see, but that's a good reason not to read :)

I finished the last book I was reading (another light weight romance, forgot the title, written by Zoe York). Didn't like it though.
I noticed that many classics are for free on amazon prime so I was literally scrolling through them for 30 minutes to download some of them. Cannot wait to start my next book ^.^

Haha, that reminds me, I bought Commentaries on the Gallic War by Julius Ceasar for bf on his b-day. It was pretty expensive because it's an old book and they never reprinted it into a newer edition. Bf was happy to get it, but then he browsed the web and said "but you know the e-book is for free, right?" and I was like: "yes, but I know you don't like e-books and I thought you'd prefer a physical book, so I bought it...", and him again: "I do, but the pdf is for free XD" and now I'm like, dog damn you, man XD But I know he appreciates the book still :mccool:

Well, I think I'll sit down and finish reading it this week as I'm kinda ahead in the game than where my friend is at, plus I'm getting the urge to go be productive in other things.

@Mem: That's actually quite funny.

Sounds good, Rubie!

I started another book by Addison Cole as I liked the Seaside series so much, but it seems like this one cannot live up to the Seaside series...

I read a little less because I play too much PokemonGo xD

mem, that sounds like a typical thing to say xD But I bet he appreciates it :)

I finally finished re-reading Crossings. You can read the book two different ways. I read it one way last year. I read it the other way this year. I thought the author would do something really clever and have it set up so that reading one way or the other drastically changed something, you know? But nope, exact same story just in a different order, but it didn't change anything at all as far as I could tell, which just made me feel incredibly annoyed.

That sounds very annoying, indeed! What a bummer ._.

I finished another book by Adison Cole, but I didn't like it as much as the Seaside Series... Still reading It.

I have decided to change my goal from 15 to 12 since I keep doing everything BUT reading. When I did go read I decided to read one of the manga series I bought and was collecting dust. If I included those I'd be done by now. lol

I picked up a load of ARCs as I've been doing reviews on my blog lately. It's been nice but also I may have underestimated how long it would take to read some of them :qhehe: I had to rush one completely today to get it read in time to post the review.
