2014 Book Challenge

Now Insurgent

I need to upgrade my kindle. My battery life only lasts about 8 hours. The newest ones (the most expensive ones) apparently can last 12 hours of mixed use and 18 hours of reading use.

Olivia loves playing on it (she has a lot of cute apps), but half the time I don't want to let her because she uses my batteries and I want to read later. But then I feel bad because she asks me "Can I play my awesome book?" And she wants to trace letters, so its educational.

Definitely want a new one. That way I can read for a few hours each night and she can still play a few games.

So finished Allegiant. Have you read it Moonie? I don't want to say anything unless you have.  

[Mama Ame]

Oh no, the thing that happens is a major spoiler. Unless you know it I won't say anything. But whenever you do read them I'll say it

Now reading Storm of Swords. I had to look it up. I never remember the names of them except for the first, and that's because its the name of the show as well.

Finished Storm of Swords and half of Feast of Crows (Feast For Crows?) on my internet hiatus.

This book is so dull compared to Storm of Swords

I could possibly finish this book tonight. Kindle is charging.

Question is do I want to start the 5th one right away or read another shorter book? If I read a shorter book that will put my August count to 4 books (because I highly doubt I'll read a 1000+ page book in nine days)

Or do I want to read it and then the rest of the time tear through shorter stuff?

I guess it depends on the ending and whether there is a cliff hanger. There is the impending return of Tyrion that I look forward to.

And then Lady Stoneheart happened.

Holy shiiiiit

Mind. Blown.

Yay for short YA novels.

Guilty pleasures.  

[Mama Ame]

Reading The Lovely Bones now.

It's kind of hard to read. Just because it covers a pretty tough topic of child rape and murder. And it gets pretty graphic.

But its good. It's a little bit bigger than the last few books I've read. And since I need to charge my kindle and clean the kitchen today I probably won't finish it today. But hopefully by tomorrow.

Planning to finish it by September 1st and then start Dance of (with?) Dragons  

[Mama Ame]

I think I may actually hit 52 books this year!

First year I attempted to do 52 and I hit 31 or 32.

Second year my goal was 12 and I hit 21

I need to invest in a new kindle fire that has a better battery life.

8 hours is s**t
