My schedule has been so packed that I haven’t been able to do that readathon the way I’ve wanted to lately. That changes this week. I’d also love to make progress in the Orphan X series by Gregg Hurwitz. I’d love to see your reading plans for the week!

I’ve actually had a pretty great reading week! I kind of fell behind on some of my goals and have been scrambling to keep up. I’m getting there slowly though. I’ve managed to finish quite a few books that I’ve been working on the past few weeks. There’s that. My goals are to try to get all my reading list for the past two weeks done by the end of tomorrow. I think I’m on a good track so far! Routine is important to me, and I’m hoping that I will continue with the one I’m creating. How’s your reading been?

Ark of the Apocalypse

Floating Underwater

Spells Trouble

The Whispering Women

Ghost Agents

Never Ever Getting Back Together

Blood Union Part One

Malibu Burns

The Urban Boys: Discovery of the Five Senses

Mine This Winter

Deep into the Dark

I’d love to know what you’re reading this week!

Potential Upcoming Plans

On By Star's Books & TeaIn Weekly Reading And Blog PlansLeave a comment

I’ve decided to get back into a routine with this blog. I think I’ve taken enough of a break. I’ve also tackled my mental health as well. I’m doing what I can to take care of myself.

So I have an upcoming plan.

Weekly Blog Plans:

Monday- Weekly Reading Plans- Will discuss the books I plan to read during the day.

Tuesday- Featured Book- Will discuss a book I’m enjoying currently.

Wednesday- Featured Show/Movie- I’ve been watching more television lately. So I’ll either talk about a show I’m enjoying or about the shows I’ve watched through the week.

Thursday- Audiobook Obsession- Will discuss an audiobook I’m really enjoying at the moment.

Friday- Freebie Friday- Whatever I’m passionate about discussing. Book related or not.

Saturday- Reading Updates- Will update how my reading went for the week.

Sunday- What I’m Reading Today- I am going to be taking Sundays off the computer as much as possible. All I plan to do is read. So most of the time, this will be scheduled the day before.

Monthly Blog Plans:

1st- Montly TBR- Will showcase the books I plan to read during the month. Will also announce any readathons I plan to participate in or host.

15th- Mid-Month Check In- Will discuss my reading progress for the month and how I’m doing in general.

30th/31st- Reading Wrap Up- Will display all of the books I’ve finished during the months.

Note: Some days will have more than one blog if I have a review to post or I have a promo or blog tour.

I’m excited to see where this goes! I’m not sure about scheduling blogs yet, but we will see!

Weekly Reading List: September 4th

On By Star's Books & TeaIn Weekly Reading And Blog PlansLeave a comment

I’m in for a full week. My training shift has changed. I go in an hour earlier. I was already having issues going in at the time I go in. I’m not exactly a morning person. I will make it through. I just have three more weeks of training! My reading schedule is pretty full too. I will be making progress on many books and hopefully finishing quite a few as well. Ideally, I’d like to finish a book a day. However, knowing that I work full time, I know that is not possible. I will still continue to try. Maybe if I keep at the pace I’ve been on lately, I’ll catch up on my reading!

Books on my reading list this week:

I’d love to see what’s on your reading list for the week! What books have you been loving lately?

My Reading Stats: June 5th

On By Star's Books & TeaIn Reading Wrap-UpLeave a comment

Lately, I haven’t read as much as I’d like. I’m reading every day still, but just barely on some days. I have still been keeping track. I am hoping that sharing my progress on here will be helpful. We shall see. I will make it from Sunday to Saturday.

Note: Some ebooks I have don’t have page numbers so I measure it by % instead. It gets a little tricky with daily page counting, but it works in the end.

Sunday:

Rise of Riverstone: 401-404
War Storm: 322-391

Monday:

War Storm: 392-430
Rise of Riverstone: 405-590

Tuesday:

Royal Spy: 1%-9%

Wednesday:

Royal Spy: 10%-18%

Thursday:

War Storm: 431-538

Friday:

War Storm: 539-662
Royal Spy: 19%-31%

Saturday:

Royal Spy: 32%-35%

What I hope to read this week:

  1. Royal Spy by Heather Frost
  2. Into the Violet Gardens by Isaac Nasri
  3. Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber
  4. Home Field Advantage by Dahlia Adler
  5. Nightcrawling by Lelie Mottley
  6. The Gate Keeper by James Byrne
  7. Scorpion’s Dance by Jefferson Morley
  8. Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey

I’d like to try to read at least a hundred pages a day, but I know that there will be days I won’t do that. I am going to at least make it a point to read at least a chapter a day. I love my job, but sometimes the back-to-back calls for the entire shift is mentally draining. It makes wanting to read really hard. I’ve found myself watching more television than I have reading when I’m not working. I’m just thankful that I’m not having major anxiety over that anymore!

Tell me about your reading these days!

Weekly Reading Plans: March 28th

One of the biggest goals I have this year is to finally tackle the huge list of books I’ve accumulated over the past year. Especially the books were given to me in exchange for review. I haven’t intended to go so long without reading them. I am just really bad with time management. Hopefully, this year will help me get better with that.

Note: I realize I plan to read a lot of books every week. I’m a mood reader and I account for that by adding extras so if I’m stuck I can move on to another book. I do not think that I will get all of these during the week. There are some that will be prioritized over others for obvious reasons.

Readathons I’m participating in this week:

Seasons of Reading Readathon- April 1st-30th (Spring into Horror)

Books I plan to read this week:

  1. A Royal Christmas Fairy Tale by Karen Schaler
  2. Gathering of the Four by A.E. Bennett
  3. Ascenders by C.L. Gaber
  4. Pretty Killer by Truant & King
  5. Royal Decoy by Heather Frost
  6. The Girl in the Blue Coat by Monica Hesse
  7. The Frequency by Terry Kitto
  8. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
  9. The Keeper of Night by Kylie Lee Baker
  10. Hunt by Sadie Moss
  11. Clash by Sadie Moss
