Sadly, I think I need to take a break and a nap. I finished another book but it did smack me in the face several times as my eyes got heavy and closed. I did pretty good this time. I am hoping to take a nap and get back to reading. I finished Starstruck and highly recommend it!

Thank you to all my wonderful cheerleaders! You have all been great!

Book Sentence Challenge

This is a challenge hosted by Midnight Book Girl(who has an awesome blog!) where you take at least three book titles and make a sentence from them. My sentence isn't too good. I'll update my reading totals around the half way mark.

Just a little update. I was going pretty good but had quite a few distractions the past couple hours so I decided to do a quick update and get back to business.
