May Wrap Up!

Hello Hello! So I haven't posted anything on here in a month because I have been studying everyday for over a month! Ugh. I'm writing the entrance exam for a professional accounting designation in exactly 2 weeks, so I have been living in a whirlwind of accounting only things. I haven't even managed to watch one single NHL playoff game so far. Not one. I do however wear my Blackhawks jersey while studying almost every day. It might be starting to smell... ohhh well, you probably don't care about that at all, I just wanted to lay down my excuses!!

So, I know May isn't quite over yet, but I'm not going to be able to finish any more books this week. I'm hoping June will be better, but it won't be. I write the exam on the 12th and then 9 days later I have my economics midterm, and then it will almost be the end of June! But, I won't let that deter me from making a new unrealistic list of books to read! But anyway, back to May.

I set out to read the following:


1) I am Number Four - Pitticus Lore (for the Paranormal Reading challenge and the A-Z Book Challenge)
2) Shatter Me - Tahereh Mafi (for the Monthly Key Word Challenge and the A-Z Book Challenge)
3) Dead as a Doornail (Sookie Stackhouse #5) - Charlaine Harris (for the Sookie Stackhouse Reading Challenge)
4) Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern (this isn't on any of my lists, but I want to read it!)
5) The Maze Runner - James Dashner (for the 2013 TBR Pile Challenge)
6) Rise of the Evening Star (Fablehaven #2) - Brandon Mull (for the A-Z Book Challenge and the 2013 Sequel Challenge)
and
7) The Guernsey Literacy and Potato Peel Society - Annie Barrows (for the 2013 TBR Pile Challenge)

I finshed 1-3 and I'm half done numbers 4 & 7. Haven't touched 5 & 6, but I do have them both borrowed from the library. I just brought back a library book today, and checked out two more, which I guess makes creating June's to read list pretty easy. I hope to finish the following 7 books in June:

1) Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern (this isn't on any of my lists, but I want to read it!) only counting this as .5 because I'm half done already
2) The Maze Runner - James Dashner (for the 2013 TBR Pile Challenge)
3) Rise of the Evening Star (Fablehaven #2) - Brandon Mull (for the A-Z Book Challenge and the 2013 Sequel Challenge)
and
4) The Guernsey Literacy and Potato Peel Society - Annie Barrows (for the 2013 TBR Pile Challenge) again, only counting this as .5 because I'm half done already
5) The Adoration of Jenna Fox - Mary E. Pearson (A-Z Reading Challenge)
6) Feed - Mira Grant (June book for Paranormal Reading Challenge)
7) Under the Never Sky - Veronica Rossi (June book for the Keyword Challenge)
8) Requiem (not on any of my lists, but I saw it at the library and want to read it!)

so, technically 8 books, but really only 7 as two are half read. Let's see how I make out in June!! Happy Reading while I study :) Not sure I have ever looked forward to summer so mach as I do to get this exam out of the way!!
