I have proudly participated in all Bout of Books Read-a-thons to date, so I’m not stopping now. Join up for fun and lots and lots of reading. I will be updating here on the blog, on goodreads, and twitter using #boutofbooks. Remember to stop back by here on Saturday to participate in my Challenge.
My Goals: To read 5 books in 7 days and write the reviews that go with. I plan on doing at least one twitter chat and as many challenges as possible.
I’m going to roll with the punches, so hopefully my ZEN attitude will melt away the road blocks. I’ll be back to school and back-to-being-mom-taxi. Also, I am planning on working out every day. I have the Jiggle Butt 5K on Saturday and I want a little less JIGGLING going on.
Books To Read:
Flip This Zombie (Living With the Dead #2) by Jesse PetersenEat Slay Love (Living With the Dead #3) by Jesse PetersenZombie Whisperer (Living With the Dead #4) by Jesse PetersenZola’s Pride by Moria RogersFallen Too Far by Abbi Glines
Updates
Challenge Day 1: Scientific Discovery @ The Book Barbies
I’d pick Cookie from the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones for my friend. She is quirky, funny & most importantly always has the coffee pot ready for those important chats.
I’d pick Clay Danvers from Women of the Otherworld by Kelley Armstrong for my boyfriend. He is a one woman man and works overtime to meet your needs (and I mean the sexy time ones too) and protect you. He is a family man. And can make you melt with his sexy Southern drawl.

Challenge Day 3: Page 48 @ Booking in Heels
“Lex had been looking at David, but now he turned, almost in slow-motion movie style, and speared me with a look that almost froze my blood.” That’s when I realized that Lex was into my husband and meant to have him willingly or not. I wasn’t just an annoyance, but a challenge. He was about to take me out of the equation.

OK. Another BoB in the books (haha). I READ 5 books. WIN. Though I did sneak in a novella to get it done. Shhh! I didn’t listen to any audiobooks. Poor Hollows are hanging in limbo. I didn’t get ONE review written. EPIC FAIL, because now they are glaring at me. I didn’t get to BLOG HOP. This is a BIG FAIL. BoB 5.0 I was able to hop every day to 10+. I only made it to a few of the people I stalk daily. I also didn’t do as many Challenges as I usually to. Work is kicking my BOOTY. BUT I did Twitter CHAT on Wednesday. I think it was the MOST FUN I’ve had in one of the Twitter CHATs. I liked the addition of the questions to get us TALKING. WIN!!! BIG WIN!!! Probably the BIGGEST WIN was hearing how much fun everyone was having and I know we’ll have many more BoB faithfuls. SIGN ME UP FOR THE NEXT ONE.
Good luck read-a-thon-ing! Your zombie series books should make for fun reading
I’m ready for back to school tomorrow- hope it goes smoothly for you.
Wow, that’s so neat that you’ve participated in every single Bout of Books readathons!! This will be my third, and I’ve enjoyed all of the ones I’ve done so much! It also seems like our goals are pretty similar. I also want to read 5 books and write the reviews to go along with them. I hope I won’t procrastinate on those reviews though…
Good luck with your goals, and happy reading! <3

Good luck with your goal! I haven’t heard of your book selections, but I do enjoy zombie stories… my husband just got Walking Dead: Compendium 1 for Christmas and I have been sneaking peaks until he’s finished with it, haha! Have a great week.
Killing 2 birds with one stone. Working on knocking out a series & getting caught up so I can review the 4th book in the series. But there will be some kind of book life beyond zombies this week.
Yay for catching up on a series! I hope you enjoy the books, I’ve only read the first one.
Happy reading!
The first was lots of fun. Book 2 was bueno. Now onto Book 3.
You read 5 books! That is freaking awesome, novella or not. These read-a-thons agree with you. Like you, I had load of fun with the Twitter chat on Wednesday. Thanks for stopping by and the well wishes on feeling better. They made my day!
Yay for you and a successful read-a-thon! I liked Fallen Too Far, what did you think?
I really tried to stay away. The gooiness all over twitter was making me sick. But it went cheap, so I had to see if the hype was for real. I did have issues with stuff. But I really liked the lead chicka & couldn’t put the book down, so it must of been good. ;D
