Bingo Challenge!

This is my first Winter Edition of my Bingo card!

After my lack of Summer Bingo full house, I have made a smaller card and I'm hopeful! I reused three of my leftover squares and then added in some more.

Potentials
Using my TBR and my Shelfers post I've got a few books in mind!

• Court of Fives by Kate Elliott
• A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.
• Their  Fractured Light by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner.
• P.S I Still Love You by Jenny Han.
• Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch.
• Clariel by Garth Nix.

Rules
One square per book! For example if I read a new release YA book it could go in either box so one square per book spreads it out!
This challenge will run from 22^nd October to 1^st January. (to include Half Term!)

Any suggestions of what I could read?
I would find some new YA SciFi or Fantasy! Ooo and a road trip book!

Much Love!

Bingo Wrap Up!

So back in July when I launched this I 100% overestimated how much I would read in the Summer!
I slept the majority of my flight to Australia and down under I was so busy soaking up BFF time and exploring as much as I could I read 4 books. However I think I did pretty well considering!

I've decided to make a 3x3 Autumn bingo card so I will be carrying the 4 empty squares over! Any book suggestions for them?

How did your summer of reading go? Were you more successful?
Much love

October!

Too right Anne October is the gateway to Autumn, Halloween and Christmas! It will also be a month of good blogging!

I've signed up to the Blog Ahead Challenge hosted by Anna@ herding cats & burning soup and Kimberly@ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. Mainly to shore up posts ready for when I go full time at work!

Goals

• All Top Ten Tuesday posts scheduled
• 4 Travel posts.
• 5 reviews.
• As many other posts as possible!

I already posted my Autumn TBR but these are the October releases I'm most excited for!

All are continuations of series' or worlds which I've really enjoyed so I'm allowing myself to buy them despite my shelves of unread books....

 

Which October Release will you be buying?

Are you Blogging Ahead? If so leave a link!

Much Love!

Summer Bingo Wrap Up!

Way back in July I decided to do my own Summer bingo challenge! I was inspired by Bookish Bingo  hosted by Great Imaginations when I saw it on The Book Monsters.

How did I do?

Not too bad! I got a line at least. I did plan on reading Forever Summer as my Australia but the publication date got pushed back! I managed to read a great range of books over summer though.
I really enjoyed this challenge. I think because it was quite free and the parameters were simple. I was going to do an Autumn one but my course is pretty intense so I may try and do a mini one for Christmas instead!

Have you ever done a Bingo challenge?
Much Love!

Spring Bloggiesta NetGalley Mini Challenge!

Welcome to Bloggiesta! I hope you are all working away on your to-do list. I have been a bloggiesta participant for ages so I'm excited to host my very own mini challenge!

NetGalley is both a blessing and a curse to bloggers~ it's so easy to request titles but before you know it your Feedback to Approval Ratio is way down and your TBR is way up.... This challenge will help you get a handle on NetGalley this Bloggiesta.

Improve your Feedback Tips and Tricks!

• Didn't Finish the book. Make sure you still send feedback. I usually put a paragraph in the thoughts for publisher section thanking them for approving me etc..
• Not posting the review for awhile. Do the feedback and put the date for the review in the thoughts section.
• Go back through your approved books. I often find that I forgot to do feedback on some of my earlier approvals. This is actually how I got my ratio up when it came in!

Mini Challenge

This Bloggiesta I challenge you to improve your ratio either by going back over your approvals or writing up reviews!

a Rafflecopter giveaway



Let me know your NetGalley tips and tricks!
Much Love and Luck!
