Friday Finds

Well, I think my favorite news is that the Pretty Little Liars series has been extended! I love this series. Of course, the eighth book was a pretty good ending, so I'm curious to see how it'll work out.

The next book will be called Twisted, and is scheduled for release on July 5, 2011.

In the meantime the first book in her new series, the Lying Game, was just released on the 7th. I'm about halfway through and I'm loving it. Check it out while you wait. :)

Well, that's all for this week. I actually discovered a couple of other books, but I'm saving them "Waiting on" Wednesday. ^_^

Harry Potter 2011 Book Challenge

Harry Potter. This is the series that first made me fall in love with reading when I read the first book in first grade. I've grown up with this series. And soon it will all come to an end.

Of course, the books already did. But with the eighth movie coming out on July 15th, the movies will be done too. Unless, of course, JK Rowling decides to write another book (I'm all for that.)

So Daemon's Books has come up with a Harry Potter reading challenge for 2011. I love the idea, so I've decided to participate in it.

For the challenge you basically read one book a month (with the exception of the last book, which is two months so you can see the movie before rereading the book, if you want to. ^_^ ).

Here's the schedule:

1. January 1-31: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone in the UK)

2. February 1-28: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

3. March 1-31: Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban

4. April 1-30: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

5. May 1-31: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

6. June 1-30: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

7. July 1 – August 31: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

If you would like to participate then head over to Daemon's Books. You can find that post here:

I'm Back!

Wow. I can't believe it's been almost a year since I last posted. Life got crazy, as it often does. Huge projects at school during my junior year, then a short and busy summer, and then school again...we only get a month off for break, so it went by pretty quickly. And now here we are at Christmas again.

The good news is I should have more time to post this time around. For my Spring semester I'll be mostly off campus, since I'm doing an internship and college classes at the local community college. I'll still be very busy, but I will have Mondays and Fridays off. So I doubt I'll post every day, but I will be able to post on Mondays and Fridays (usually).

I have missed blogging, and it will be nice to get back to it. Even if nobody does read this blog. ^_^

Of course I think what I'm most disappointed about is that along with putting off the blog, I stopped keeping track of all of my reading challenges. I would have liked to see how well I did. Ah well. It's almost 2011, and with a new year comes a new round of reading challenges. Hopefully I'll do better this time around. :)
