Dewey's Readathon Starting Line April 2016

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?

I'm reading from South Dakota, United States

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?

Winter Garden by Kristen Hannah

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?

Fruit Squish'em, Pasta Salad, Energy Bites, and Fruit Cups

4) Tell us a little something about yourself!

My name is a Rachael. I have been a book blogger for over three years. I love reading YA and Adult fiction. I am now a Junior in college and this is my 7th readathon. When I'm not busy with school work I'm always reading or with my friends. I also enjoy running and love living a happy active lifestyle. 

5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to?

This is my 7th Dewey's Readathon. Last read-a-thon was very productive. I hope to spend most of my time reading. I forgot to update last time because I was so lost in my books and that is what I want. 

Here is my plan for Saturday:

This is a preschedule post that will go up at starting time, which for me is 7 am. I'm planning on waking up around 7 and reading in bed until around 8:30 to 9:00. Then I will have some breakfast. Then I plan to take a long relaxing bath and get some reading done. Then I will have pasta salad for lunch. After that I will probably lay on the couch and read. We may go see The Huntsmen tomorrow night, but I'm not sure otherwise I will just spend the rest of the day lounging and maybe put in a disney movie or two to listen to. I'm currently on pg 164 of Clockwork Angel. I'm hoping to finish this book and start Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah. 

My To-Be Read List: Winner ~ April 2016

Sorry I have been so late on putting this up. On BooksAmino Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl won by an overwhelming amount. I feel like reading this book more, so I let you guys pick my true winner. Winter Garden won by 8 votes. Thanks for voting. I plan this to be my Dewey's Readathon book. 

April 2016 To Be Read List~Let's Vote

Hosted by Because Reading

I'm extremely behind on this challenge. I ended up DNFing Cloaked. I wasn't getting into it and I was bored with the story line. I think it was something I would have enjoyed when I was 14, but now I'm a little old for it. I have not started The Infinite Moment of Us. I think I'm going to start that one next. Meanwhile I still want to participate this month. It is my hope that I will catch up. Here's the fun part of this month I joined this new book app called Books Amino. This app is like Social Media for books. You can write blog posts, create polls, and much more. It is basically an app where you just talk about books with people all day long I love it. I'm going to let my followers on Books Amino also vote for my April To-Be Read List book. 

This month's theme is books that I have at college. They are going to be books I own, but all of them will be books I already have here. And I'm having trouble picking just three, so I'm going to show you the picture of what I have list the books and you can leave which book you think I should read in the comments. I know I have more probability to have a tie this week, but hopefully between the two sources I will have a clear winner.

1. Story of a Girl

2. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

3. Between Friends

4. All Fall Down

5. Best Friends Forever

6. This Song will Save Your Life

7. 99 Days

8. Winter Garden

9. The Forestwife

10. The Library Card

11. Royally Crushed

12. The Princess Diaries

2016 Homework Assignment Challenge Quarter 1 Check In

Hosted by Fantasy is more fun and Because Reading

For this quarter of the 2016 Homework Reading Assignment Challenge I earned a B. I'm not quite finished with The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith, which is my March book. I'm almost finish, so I'm counting it. I ended up completing January, which was Wonder by R.J. Palacio and March, which was The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith. I don't know what I will read over the next three months, but I'm excited about many of the books on my list. You can see the full list in my 2016 challenges post at the top of the page. 

The TBR Triple Dog Dare Wrap Up 2016

Guess what I made it to April 1, 2016 and I have not read any new releases. I actually don't have a whole lot of new releases on my radar this year, but I do have some that I plan to read soon, such as Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare. I currently have 330 books on my Goodreads TBR List. I started the year with 338. I managed to read 12 books for this challenge. I read 15 books last year before April 1st. The TBR Triple Dog Dare was a success. I have been a slow reader in 2016, so far, but I hope the pace will pick up in May after I finish school.
