Weekly Round Up + Bout of Books Wrap Up!

 

Well Bout of Books was my week aside from work and soaking up quality time before my friend goes to Australia!

 

Mini Challenge!

The New Year's Resolution Challenge!

hosted by Ex Libris

Pick a book and choose one or several characters from it and make up what would be their New Year's resolutions if they made any.

 

I picked my first Bout of Books read! Going for realistic resolutions because Lucy and Jude need some!

Lucy- To look past appearances and allow explanations before judgements!

Jude- To try and see situations from Lucy's point of view and lock doors before passing out!

Both- To communicate better through phone calls, texting, email, Skye- just communicate!

I love Lucy and Jude and their story is so compelling but they don't make their lives easy!

 

Goals Met?

Aims-

To read 5 books.

See below!

To participate in at least one mini challenge

See above!

To comment on other blogs...

I was awful at this one!

What I Read!

Success! My FIRST readathon where I reached my goal!
I actually read three of the books from my goals post as well, normally books I list before a readathon get 'jinxed'!
Only downside is Through The Ever Night isn't on the list as I cannot get my hands on it! I have searched 8 bookshops- I'm determined not to buy it online as I have a voucher!

Stacking The Shelves- eBook edition!

What is Stacking The Shelves all about?

Stacking The Shelves is hosted by Tynga all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!

Apparently Christmas = £0.77 books! Which was a little too tempting!
Most of these were sitting on my Amazon eBook wish list so it was easy to notice the price change :)
 

Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines
My love for the Sea Breeze series is well documented so I'm excited for this new series! I've heard it has a cliff hanger ending so I'm trying to wait until closer to the release date of #2!

A Toast to The Good Times by Steph Campbell and Liz Reinhardt  
I loved Lengths- the first collaboration between Liz Reinhardt and Stephen Campbell so I feel confident I'll love this too!

The Truth About Faking by Leigh Talbert Moore
I've been desperate to try out Leigh Talbert Moore's writing and this book so it's high on the TBR!
 

The Perfect Game by J. Sterling
I sampled this ages ago so I was thrilled that it was on offer! Fingers crossed it's as good as I hope!
 

 The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden by Jessica Sorensen
All the teasers Jessica posted on her blog and my love of Ella and Michael makes me excited to read this one!

 
Dizzy by Nyrae Dawn and Jolene Perry

 I have loved Nyrae Dawn's writing and Jolene Perry's so a collaboration peaked my interest!

Charade by Nyrae Dawn
Another longtime resident of my wish list, I sped through it almost as soon as it was downloaded! Review to come soon and it made my 2012 Top Ten Contemporary Reads !

Have you read any of these? Are they as good as I hope they are?
Much Love!
