Just in case you were wondering...

I know I've talked a lot about the Popsugar Ultimate Reading Challenge and I've linked to it in the past, but I just wanted to get a quick post up with the list and what I have planned to read for the rest of the challenge. I came to the challenge in July and was worried about getting everything squeezed in, so I am using 1 book for multiple boxes to check off. I've been doing pretty well with the challenge. I know that I'm cheating and yes that does hurt me a little, but if they do another one next year I will definitely be doing this challenge again the correct way!

Books I still have left to read:

  • Call the Midwife by Jennifer Worth
  • Maus, 1 by Art Spiegelman
  • White House Nannies by Barbara Klein
  • The Girl who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson
  • The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest Stieg Larsson
  • Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
  • Landline by Rainbow Rowell
  • Me Before You by Jojo Meyers
  • The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
  • Life as I Blow It by Sarah Colonna
  • The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins
A couple of these books only hit one box on the list, but some hit a few. I'm also re-reading The Hunger Games Trilogy in full because the final movie is coming out and I'm keeping in tradition when I started to re-read before the first movie. Right now I'm going to take a break from the challenge because I'm going to be reading The Heir by Kiera Cass which is the 4th book within The Selection series. I'll have a full review up about the series when I finish. I love that series and I can't keep it on my "to read" shelf any longer! That's all for now!


P.S. I'll let you know if the book checks anything off on the list at the beginning of a post, like I did with my last post about Looking for Alaska by John Green.

The Selection Series by Kiera Cass

I don't think it's any surprise that I love meself some YA! I think I was introduced to a blurb about The Selection series in Newsweek ...kidding it was an issue of Seventeen I was reading at the Dentist? Whatever it doesn't matter, all you need to know is that its awesome! A Dystopian America that's now a smaller fragile absolute monarchy and has a caste system??? Uh yes please! The series (originally a trilogy) is narrated by America Singer, a 5 (there are 8 castes) who lives in post WW3 (could be WW4 I honestly don't remember) Illea province named Carolina. As Artists, 5's are 3rd from the bottom in the caste system. I would equate them to the typical American family today, not well off, but they feel the struggle of staying afloat throughout the year. As per tradition with all the Princes of Illea a selection is held, where 35 girls throughout the kingdom compete for his hand in marriage. Kinda like The Bachelor meets The Hunger Games with less bloodshe...

Dr. Scholl's Actives for Her (Brought to you by Influenster)

Time for another Influenster review! This time its a one product review box, I've only done these for Influenster. I know some people get the themed Voxboxes with all the fun goodies, but I tend to only qualify for the one brand review ones. Its all good though, I still enjoy them and love trying free stuff! Even if I do end up giving it all away like I did my Mary Kay stuff (sans the Lash Primer). For this box I qualified to receive a free pair of Dr. Scholl's Active Series Inserts for Her. They retail for $19.99 at Target and $24.99 at Walgreens.  A little pricey for just one pair of insoles, but then again if you work out a lot or are just a sneaker fan in general, you may want to invest in a pair of quality insoles; not only for comfort, but also to extend the life of your sneaks (trainers, for those across the pond). The 'Her' insoles will be for shoe sizes 5.5-8 & 8.5-11, and the 'Him' insoles will fit 7.5-10 & 10.5-13. They are easy to be shap...

Getting it done!

A Book with More Than 500 Pages: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson A Book Set in Another Country: The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson A Book That was Originally Written in a Different Language: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson A Book Written by an Author with the Same Initials: The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson A Book You Started but Never Finished: The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson I know that this is probably a lot of cheating, like a lot a lot, but these two books covered everythingggg. Its most likely also cheating because I listened to both of these books on "tape". Why would I do such a thing like that? Because I found the first book ( The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo ) incredibly difficult to read. The books are translate from Swedish and I appreciate the time it must take to actually do that, but sometimes the sentence structure isn't always how I would like it to be. Any ...
