Books: The Cheapest Vacation You Can Buy











{November 3, 2012}   Ready, Set, Review-a-thon Goals!

Ready, Set, Review-a-thon Goals!

So, it’s November.  And I’m not an aspiring author, so I’m not joining NaNoWriMo, but I do need to catch up on reviews.  I tend to read, read, read, because my Kindle allows me to easily do it nonstop with its text-to-speech feature—in the car, waiting in line, anywhere—but the same isn’t always possible when it comes to writing reviews.  I don’t have any “on the go” typing tools, no iPad, Kindle Fire, or small laptop, so reviews don’t get done half as quickly as the reading part does.  Hence, I’ve joined a November 2012 Review-a-thon hosted by Faye, from A DayDreamer’s Thoughts, and Danie, from Booktacular.

So, what am I planning on doing this month?  Well, first off, here’s the list of books I’ve read that STILL need to be reviewed:

  1. Goosebumps: Most Wanted: Planet of the Lawn Gnomes by R.L. Stine

  2. In the Shadow of the Moonlight by J.J. Bidell

  3. Crazy in Paradise by Deborah Brown

  4. The League of Doorways by Tim O’Rourke (Doorways #2)

  5. Divergent by Veronica Roth (Divergent #1)

  6. Gods’ Marks, Book 1 of the Moirean Tapestry by Tara K. Young

  7. Love Lies Bleeding by Meghan Ciana Doidge

  8. 5 Weeks by June Hopkins

  9. Last Stop Freedom by Ann Heinz Nolder

  10. Freedom’s Sword by J.R. Tomlin

  11. The Bull Years by Phil Stern

  12. Prometheus Bound by A.G. Claymore

  13. Weaver by John Abramowitz (The Weaver Saga #1)

  14. The Fallstaff Vampire Files by Lynne Murray

  15. Chanda’s Secrets by Allan Stratton (Chanda #1)

  16. Dead on Ice by Lauren Carr

  17. Scourge of an Agnostic God by Michael Juge

  18. The Future We Left Behind by Mike Lancaster (Point 4, #2)

  19. Jake, Reinvented by Gordon Korman

  20. Driving to BelAir: A Novella by William G. Jones

  21. Dream Smashers by Angela Carlie

  22. Snowblind by Michael McBride

  23. Wings by Aprilynne Pike (Wings #1)

  24. Dead Statues by Tim O’Rourke (Kiera Hudson Series Two #3)

  25. Moon Rising by Laurie Bowler (Moon Rising #1)

  26. 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson (Little Blue Envelope #1)

  27. 27. Miss Me Not by Tiffany King

  28. 28. The Hoard by Alan Ryker

  29. 29. Dead Seth by Tim O’Rourke

  30. 30. Dead Statues by Tim O’Rourke

  31. 31. The League of Doorways by Tim O’Rourke

  32. 32. Flash Point by Nancy Kress

So, yeah.  32And that’s not counting the books that I’ll read in-between my hectic life and writing these reviews, so that number… yeah, it’ll go up.  But, for all intensive purposes, I’m saying that, in November, I’ll try to write ALL 32 of these, because I really need to.  They’re scheduled to be released on the blog in November/December, so… here I go!

As I write the reviews, I’ll hyperlink them once they’re live in order to keep track of what’s done and what’s still on the list of reviews to write.

Wish me luck!

Good luck!
I completely agree about the reviewing/reading while out argument! I have my phone and iPod but typing on touchscreen, for a long period is so… annoying! And writing long-hand has never really agreed with me. Whereas I can just whip out my iPod and be reading a book in that five-ten min gap I have while waiting for the bus/friend/work, etc!
But let’s hope that we can get caught up and then STAY that way! hehe.
Thanks for joining us!
Hope it’s going okay :)
