Update Monday

Hello and welcome to another episode of Update Monday, where I reveal what happen over the past seven days in my reading world and maybe even reality. First I like to say that I do really enjoy writing on this blog I might not post as much as I could or should, but I do try to be insightful when I do post. So, on the reading front in my world I finished EON and I decided to not jump right into EONA, but rather start Plague: A Gone Novel.

I love reading series and the Gone series by Michael Grant is just the best possible series out there right behind Harry Potter. What other book series has depth, action and a general page tuner feel to it than the Gone series. I love this series so much and I enjoy the fact that I can personally read one book in the series and put it down picking up the next installment a year later and still have the same emotion attached and remembrance. That is the reason for doing this blog to find those awesome series and novel that just need the word to be spread even if the word has been spread.

Update Monday

I'm back and ready to begin anew the wonderful world of blogging. I took more than a couple of week hiatus, but I didn't process the needed inspiration for blogging. To be completely honest I still haven't overcome my slump. Don't get me wrong I am still reading and still writing reviews I just haven't been in the mood to post on the blog. Another reason is I forget to post on the schedule days and I didn't want to change up the line-up. There is a reason why I have a Monday, Wednesday and Friday line-up on the blog; its because it's easier to keep track of what I have to write about on the blog.

Now for this episode of Update Monday, I still have been reading quite a lot recently during the slump period on the blog. I have finish A Thousand Orcs, even though I am still reading the Host I have started and nearly finished EON: Dragoneye Reborn. The novel A Thousand Orcs was differently a different read for because first and foremost it was an adult fantasy novel because the main characters were not in their teen years. For my first actual adult fantasy novel it wasn't bad, but I still prefer YA fantasy novels because of the coming-of-age story involved in the novels. Which bring me to EON which is a oriental style novel with dragons, emperor and sword wielding characters. This novel is making me want to blitz throughout to get to the second and final installment, EONA. I have been reading and I will most likely post a review on next Monday.

Update Monday

Mondays are just plain boring sometimes and in other times the day itself can be quite eventful. That could actually be said about any and all days. Today was quite eventful for me because I have a phone interview with a company that I really really want badly. Hopefully, this Friday I will have a good interview and I am able to receive the job offer.

Now onto the books that I have been reading over the course of several weekends. The challenge for this past weekend was systematically conquered. I even was able to read one chapter in the Host, which was long over due to be read. Knowing that this weekend was very productive in my reading schedule, I feel comfortable in saying that I am out of my reading slump.

Update Monday

Another thrilling day that is Monday. On this episode of Update Monday, I bring good tidings in the form of progress on one front. I have made some head wind in the reading of The Thousand Orcs, which is a high fantasy novel by R.A. Salvatore. So far the novel in what I have read has really wowed me enough to be reading non-stop, but I do enjoy in some form however its differently not my favorite novel read this year.

Now for some disappointing news on the weekend challenge that I keep failing to succeed at. I want to eventually succeed and I will one of these weekends. However I did read The Thousand Orcs, but I didn't read my other current reading novels. Hopefully I can find the time in the day to get to at least one or two chapters in these long forgotten novels of mine. Time is avoiding me and summer vacation is running low on steam, but I will pull through into the autumn season with an even bigger reading push hopefully.

Update Monday

Sorry about this Monday, I was extremely busy with other stuff to post this week episode of Update Monday. However, I will say that this past weekend I read a little bit, but I actually watched more Youtube video than I should have done. I am continueing reading my current novels tracks and will keep you up-to-date on the status of those books. Once again I am sorry that this post is a little short, but I don't want to not post anything. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

Update Monday

Hey guys and gals, welcome to another update Monday. Where the place to be is smack down in the middle of this post because I will give you the 411 on my reading schedule. First off lets begin with the challenge that I made this past weekend, I challenge myself to finish Clockwork Angels and I accomplish that task. Now I didn't get to read any of the Host, but I figured that I will get to it after finishing the current major project.

After completing the challenge I took a break from reading the rest of the day on Sunday. However I did choose two new novels to feel the void. I selected Slaughterhouse Five (ebook) and A Thousand Orcs, a fantasy novel set in the Forgotten Realm series. Lets recap what I am currently reading this moment I am reading the Host, Slaughterhouse Five and A Thousand Orcs.

These three novels are differently novels that I want to read, but I don't have a real drive to read these three. I hope once I begin reading one of these novels that I will get deeply invested and will continue at an alarming speed to finish the novel. Have you ever had those moment when you wanted to read, but didn't have the passion behind the book you will reading? That is the feeling I have right now about my upcoming trial and tribulation. Hopefully I can get over that feeling and get to more books. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

Update Monday

The started of another week and its Monday. On this episode of Update Monday, I have some troubling news to bring on the reading front. I once again failed at my reading challenge this past weekend and I didn't read on Friday. Am I a bad reader or just a bad book reviewer?

I think that I am a decent reviewer if only I could read everyday I think I could be better at reading. Part of me knows the reason for not being in a reading mood. Those reasons are that I decided to watched the marathon of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Sunday and some family emergency came up that took priority. Beside reading countless number of series, I still enjoy a ton of serialized television and I like to watch certain shows. This Update Monday is a little lite, but at least I do have a review that I will be posting today. Hopefully this week is better on the reading battlefield because I have blitz through some novels maybe I need to slow down a bit and take a hiatus from reading. So, I am still reading the novels from my #Fridayreads segment and I will continue to read and finish those novels. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

Update Monday

What is this I see on the horizon another Monday? I am differently having the serious case of the Monday and on top of that I failed at this past weekend challenge. I think I might be in a small reading slump because I have two books that I want to read and finish, but I have sat down and picked up these novels since last Thursday. Have you ever had that feeling that you want to read, but you just don't feel like reading the novels you have chosen?

This past weekend challenge was one of two option of finish reading Clockwork Angels or read two chapters each in both the Host and Clockwork Angels. I failed miserably in accomplish either of those challenges and I don't deserve to call myself a book lover. However, I will give myself some credit when credit is due because I have been on a recent reading vendetta in which I have finished novels after novels. Having finished eight novels within a span of two weeks between those eight books is quite impressive for me because I am differently a slow reader.

Hoping for this week to turn out to be a fortunate for my reading endeavor and on a side note a spectacular week for future employment. With a possible job in the near future I can promise to have some necassary book hauls coming to the blog because there is a ton of books that I want to read and purchase. Wish me lots of luck on the employment front and encouragement for the reading front. Stay tune for a book review. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

Update Monday

You know what time it is its Update Monday. The one day in the week where I present what I am currently reading, what I did over the weekend and if I complete that challenge that I made on #Fridayreads. Occasionally, on Monday I will have review to be posted because I finished a novel that I was currently reading with only having one to post reviews allows for review to somewhat build up because I could finish a couple of novels in a week time, but most likely not.

First things is I would like to congratulate myself on another job or challenge well-done because I am nearly finished with Magyk and I started the Host. Magyk was differently the book that I read most over this past week because it was just so addicting and I couldn't put the book down. On the other hand, the Host was a different story altogether because I could really only read a couple of chapters. At this rate the Host is looking similar in reading style to Night Magic in which I will have to take the novel a bit slower than normal meaning the Host will take for ever to finish, but I am okay with the outcome.

Do to my recent obsession with Magyk I plan to have that novel finish later on today or early tomorrow. That being said I have already select the next book that I plan on reading after Magyk and the selection from the Cup of Titles came forth Clockwork Angels. Now Clockwork Angels is not the Cassandra Clare's novel, but rather the novelization of the Rush album, Clockwork Angels. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

Blog Status

Hello followers, viewers and just plain readers I have finally got caught up with my reviews from Goodreads. That means I can finally get to what I want this blog to be and that is being able to post on a regular schedule and occasionally post on a random not scheduled day if something of quite amazing happen in my reading schedule such as purchasing a book that I have been waiting countless days to possess or finishing a novel and letting you guys know about it, but I won't review books until Update Monday.

Having a schedule will help me to keep this blog going beyond what I have done before because I have started a couple of blogs before and none of them ever really struck around. The reason being because I think I was just blogging for the shake of blogging; this blog is a little I still blogging just to blog, but I have some passion in this subject to keep this blog up-to-date. Now, I try to keep up with the trend in popular fiction, but I don't go out and strive for the popular I read and buy what I love giving you reviews from popular and non-popular novels allowing for a more honest review.

My posting schedule can be found on my introduction post or down below:

• Update Monday - where I update what I am currently reading, if I accomplish my Weekend Challenge, finished a novel or in a separate post a review if I have one.
• Wacky Wednesday - where I do book hauls, book tags, discussion and favorites
• #Fridayreads and Weekend Challenge - where I show you what I am reading on Friday and give to you my challenge.

Update Monday

Another Monday in this case I differently have one of the worst cases of Mondays. I feel like I don't want to do anything, but I have plenty of things to do. Some of the tasks needed to be performed today would be going to the Community College and making sure the financial aid is set along with improving my record to register for classes. On top of that I still need to find a job in which no ones want to hire a recent graduate in computer engineering; I know that its a highly demanded field, but also most of the technical jobs wants some years of experience in which I have none not even any internships.

This whole not being able to find any work from technical jobs to minimum wage jobs is affecting my self-esteem. I know for certain that I am a hard, dependable worker and I can do almost any tasks given to me and more because I am willing to learn more on the job. What I really need is just one person, just one to say those three letters "YES" and I would be golden and ready to work.

The above is one reason why I didn't complete my goal/challenge this weekend because I am worried about my future. I did read more of the Vampire Diaries: Dark Reunion, almost completing it and accomplishing my challenge. However I did at least succeed in half of my challenge and finished Inferno by Sherrilyn Kenyon. This update Monday was somewhat depressing and melodramatic, but sometimes we need to rant about what is on our minds. Hopefully, I can get into a better mood throughout this week and into the weekend. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

Update Monday

Hello fellow crazy and book lovers alike and welcome to another glorious Update Monday. I am excited about this Monday because even though I only completed half of my weekend challenge, I reached the 650 page mark in the fourth book in the Inheritance Cycle: Inheritance which means I am roughly 200 pages from finishing the monster of a book. With that said and out there you can guess that I only read one chapter of Vampire Diaries: Dark Reunion. That knowledge of not completing the challenge won't bring me down because I feel that sometime this week I will have finished Inheritance and will be able to add another review to the queue. I could also save the review for when I start to review only on Update Mondays.

I wanted to let you guys know that I have written every book that I have on my to be read pile onto scrap sheets of paper and put them into a cup. What I plan on doing is drawing at least one book from the cup when I finish a book that I am currently reading. Hopefully what I am expecting out of this experiment is that I am able to read a little faster because I took the guessing out of selecting a book to read next. Now if there is a book on the shelf that is screaming to be read first, then I plan on selecting that particular book without drawing from the cup. The only book on my shelf that I really want to read first is Inferno by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Now for this week coming up I plan on finishing Inheritance and maybe even Vampire Diaries: Dark Reunion. I wish all of you luck and happy reading. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.

Update Monday

How are you doing, crazies? Welcome to a start of a glorious new week. Why am I being so optimistic because the other choice is to be pessimistic and the world is full with so many stories to be pessimistic all the time. Its Monday and instead of having a serious case of the Mondays like everyone before I decided to approach today with a glass half-full prospective. Being Monday you know that its update Monday, which means that I discuss what I read over the weekend and if I met my weekend goals.

First off I did in fact achieve what I set for my weekend goals. What no cheers is it because it was only read two chapters in two books? Are you saying that any reader can meet that challenge? Well BACK OFF it was hard for me! Okay I am sorry that I am shouting at you, but I want an easy challenge this weekend because I was filling a little lazy. In setting this so-so challenge I was able to actually read more than what I set out to read.

I read both the Vampire Diaries Dark Reunion and Inheritance. I only read two chapters in the Vampire Diaries, while I was able to get almost a hundred pages read in Inheritance. I feel very proud to have read a little more in Inheritance than reading Vampire Diaries. First because Inheritance is the last in the series and its such a huge volume of a book. According to Goodreads, Inheritance and Vampire Diaries are both over that fifty percent margin.

What have you read recently over the weekend or the past weeks? Do you have trouble finding time to read? Try what I did over this past weekend and only read two chapters during the weekend and maybe just maybe you will read more than what you set out to accomplish making yourself more proud to gotten further in the novel that expecting.

Update Monday

Hello everybody and welcome to another fine Monday morning, afternoon or evening depending on when you are reading this post. Hell you could even be reading this a couple of months or years down the road from this very moment. With that mind here is a future hello with a past update Monday. Long winded introduction, but hey that is what blogging is about getting you to laugh a little at some random person typing at a keyboard. I know that there is serious blog out there, but I believe that blogging should be fun even if the issue is a serious matter. In my eyes and ears you should be able to laugh at your life situation and smile a little from day to day because it could presently be worse or get better so, just sit back read and laugh.

On this episode of Update Monday, during my post on Friday I participated in #fridayreads and started my weekend challenge theme. Now I am proud and disappointed that I accomplish one of the two goal I set for the weekend. The goal that I accomplish was finishing the Vampire Diaries: The Fury which was interesting and quite different from the show however I won't review this book until I finish the Vampire Diaries: Dark Reunion because its a bind-up. The other goal was to get to page four hundred in Inheritance, but I failed its not the end of the world so I get another weekend and another shot at achieve another challenge. That was my weekend. How was your weekend? This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.
