January Wrap

Does anyone else think I’m warped?

Cheryl, you just shush! Bev, you have no room to talk!

Ok, so, January is officially over and I’ve barely made a dent in my challenges – except maybe the ebook and Netgalley ones. How is everyone else doing?

Written by Regina Hott

I love to read! But I don't always think the synopsis on the backs of books do them justice. I do, however, believe all books should come with an intended rating - or at least a steam FYI. So, I'm taking upon myself to educate all -- christian & secular readers, alike -- on the books behind the synopsis and the possible things you may not want your YA reader to see. Enjoy!

    I don’t know…looks pretty good to me. And you’re right, I can’t talk, because I don’t feel like I’ve made much progress either. Goodreads keeps taunting me by saying that I’m 7 books behind. The only thing I’ve got on you is I’ve complete one challenge. But how good is that when I only had to read one book? We need to do our book-reading exercises or eat our reading Wheaties or something…..

      I was just kidding… I’m honestly jealous because you’ve finished a challenge – even though it was only one book.
      I’m really having trouble reading lately, my interest just isn’t there.
