Thoughts/other updates for the day: I read 25 pages of Vitro during my study hall today in school. I read 34 pages of Bliss when I got home, it's getting really interesting. Then I decided that I was getting a little tired of reading mostly the same thing and picked up Girlfriends Volume 4 because I knew it would be a quick fun read. I had started this before the read-a-thon and finished it today. I started Girlfriends Volume 5 and will hopefully finish it tomorrow and continue with Bliss.

Thoughts/other updates for the day: I read 139 pages of Girlfriends, Volume 5  by Milk Morinaga and finished it toady. I also read 20 pages of Bliss.

Thoughts/other updates for the day: Didn't get a lot of reading done today either. I thought I would have more time, but things come up. I don't think I'm going to make it to my goal because  I've just been so busy this week. But I still have tomorrow.

Thoughts/other updates for the day: Didn't get much reading done at all on this last day of the read-a-thon. I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't really come close to my goal. But I did know I would be busy this week with my school's prom and everything, so I'm not surprised. I'm happy because I read more than a usually do this week and it was fun so that's all that matters! I will be continuing to read Bliss and Vitro and probably with start the other books I had on my TBR for the read-a-thon that I didn't get to.

Library Book Sale Book Haul!

A local library had a book sale recently so I thought I would share the books that I got.

I found the first three books in a series and I got them because the price was so cheap! They are part of the Septimus Heap series. I got Magyk, Flyte, and Physik by Angie Sage. It follows a character named Septimus Heap who is the seventh son of a seventh son and has magical powers. 

I also got Peaches by Jodi Lynn Anderson. This is the first book in a trilogy, I believe. It is about three girls who have gotten into trouble and have to pick peaches at an orchard in Georgia as punishment. 

Then I got Bergdorf Blondes by Plum Sykes and Blue Moon by Hila Feil. Bergdorf Blondes is about a girl living in the upper class and the problems she faces. Blue Moon is about a girl named Julia who is going to be an au pair for the summer and then thinks the house is haunted.

 I also found book one of a manga series. It's called The Earl and the Fairy by Mizue Tani and Ayuko. I was really excited to find this because most of the time I can't find the first book in a manga series at a book sale. Usually it's the 3rd or the 5th one by itself. I already started reading this and I can't wait to find the next one in the series.

I can't wait to read all these books! They all sound so interesting and hopefully I can get to them soon!
