Emma’s Comments (group member since Feb 28, 2019)

Emma’s comments from the Unexpected Readathon Time / Books Out of the Blue group.

I'm in!

Stalking Jack the Ripper

A Monster Calls (Going for the more literal interpretation of monstrous here!!).

Progress:
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue - Page 40

How to Make Friends with the Dark - Page 200

So ultimately not as much progress as I'd hoped, but we'll see what I can finish tomorrow!

Yay, this sounds fun! Currently I'm doing two other readathons during October, but one hasn't started yet.

I'm not sure what I'll be reading yet, but I'll update when I do know!!

Ugh, sorry I haven't been updating at all! I've been so busy lately! FYI, nothing I mention was actually on my TBR, but I added most of them last minute. Here's where I'm currently at:
1. Speak - Page 25. I picked this up primarily because it's a shorter read, and I've loved the two previous books I read from this author.
2. A Monster Calls - Page 105. I'm committing to FINALLY finishing this after putting it on hold again and again.

Current total: 130 pages

I'm actually quite busy next week so I'm keeping my TBR small for now! I'm hoping to get a lot of reading done this weekend before the readathon starts. :)

So far, the books I'm planning on reading are To Be Taught, If Fortunate (Under 300 pages) + When the Sky Fell on Splendor (Has been on my TBR for close to two years)

Ahh I’ve been so bad at this read-a-thon, and honestly reading for June in general :( I’ve finished only two books, (hopefully a third) unfortunately

Completed - Pride (2 stars)
New TBR:
-They Called Us the Enemy
-Binti (Black author)
-An American Marriage (Black author)
-Brown Girl Dreaming (Black author)
-Radio Silence (LGBT rep, re-read)
-The Hate U Give (Black author)
-Queenie (This is a maybe - Black author)
-Allegedly (Black author)

Okay so I’m almost done with the audiobook of Pride! I have the Hate U Give coming in hopefully sometime within the next week.

Yay, I can’t wait! I’ll post my TBR soon 😊
Here are the books I'm hoping to read;
1. Radio Silence (This would be a re-read!).
2. The Hate U Give // Monday's Not Coming
I wanted to give myself more options, so I may read all three or maybe not. Either way, I'm sooo excited! This was a great idea <3

Ahh yay!! So excited :) I’ll *hopefully* have finished Aurora Rising before then, so I’m looking forward to this.

Challenge #1: This with either be me reading Dear Sweet Pea for the first time, or re-reading a favorite. I’m not quite sure yet, but will edit this later!

Challenge #2: I’m reading It Sounded Better in My Head! I *was* saving this until June, but I just bought it and I know a few of my GR friends loved it. It sounds like exactly what I’m needing right now!

Oh my goodness, I NEED this. Have to get motivated to finish my end of the year reading challenges 😂💗

- The Grace Year by Kim Liggett
- House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig
- Wildcard by Marie Lu (I still haven’t read this - but I’ve been procrastinating because of the bad reviews lol)
-If You Come Softly by Jacqueline Woodson
- The Guinevere Deception by Kiersten White

Let’s see what I can accomplish here 🙌🏼

I have to finish the book I’m currently reading, and I’ve been busy lately so I’ll only put a few on here. As of right now, I really want to finish these three:
1) Wild Beauty
2) Aurora Rising
3) We Are Okay
So, we’ll see how much I actually can accomplish but I want to read these books so bad 😍

Hi! My name is Emma. I love to read and write, so here I am! My favorite genres are contemporary, historical fiction and fantasy, though I’m trying to read more diversely in 2019. I can’t wait to start this :)
