bookmarks

I'm curious as to what you all use for bookmarks. Do you use standard or does anything goes? 

As for me, I've used anything and everything I can find. Especially when my kids need something right quick like and then it's back to reading. I also carry a book everywhere so sometimes I forget to grab a bookmark or have to temporarily use something else for one. So, I'm curious as to what you use? And do you fold corners of the pages of your books or are you against that? Let me know in the comments below

howdy howdy howdy

Ok, I believe I've gotten my slump figured out now. I'm just trying to struggle thru both Les miserables by Victor Hugo and The phantom of the opera by Gaston Leroux (sorry if I misspelled it) but the two books just are not doing it for me. To get thru them I am having to listen to them on audio thru the castbox (which you can download for free thru Google playstore) and that has made it a bit easier.

What are you all reading? Let me know in the comments below

my first book...

Ok, this is my first book ever by this author. I've spent the evening searching reviews on both goodreads and on booktube. So far, people have either been anticipating this or they want about it. It still has like a four out of five star rating on goodreads though so that's pretty good I'd say. 

If you enjoyed or hated it then let me know in the comments or on twitter (@lcraven430) 

Happy reading

Ok....

Ok, I know I  said that I would be doing a series read-a-thon sort of thing but my current situation has me all confused and in a slump. I want to reread books but I also want to buy the new ones that I do not have yet that booktube has been buzzing over. So when I make up my.mind, I'll let you know.

Series.....

I think that I'm going to start this read-a-thon where I read all my series from start to finish. I do have a lot of series by a few different authors. Some that have not been read in months. Some I want to reread to see if my opinion of them change. And most of them, I have not read in order, one right after the other. Some of the series I have are:
-game of thrones
-harry potter
-hannah swenson
-temperance brennan
-pretty little liars
-dark hunter
-carpathian
-drake sisters
-sisters of the heart
-leopard
-shadow rider
-ghostwalker
-torpedo ink
-argeanu
-to die
-virgin river
-dark witch
-love comes softly
-key
-born in

Just to name a few of them 😉
If you have any of these series, when I start them I will let you know and you can join me. We'll chat on Twitter.

Reading slump?

Have you not picked up a book in a few days?
When was the last time you bought a book?
If you can't remember then you probably forgot and are possibly in a book slump like me.
Don't worry! It happens to everyone once in awhile.
If you read long enough, then it can happen to you. I have loved reading since I was a kid and now I guess it is my turn. just take it one day at a time and you can get thru it as well.

Update!

Since toxic game, I have been slowly making my way thru the mortal instruments series. Currently on city of ashes at the moment. But when I have had too much of vampires and such, I picked up One Of Us Is Lying. And I am over halfway with it. I did finish Runaway Vampire though. I give that one points due to the characters getting together after she damn near killed the guy by running over him with her RV. And yes, I did mention the getting tired of vampires but the way Lynsay Sands explains them.....they are more like science experiments gone wrong then the cold, heartless brooding type. They are actually funny and have personalities. 
Right now I am participating in the series crackdown and DEAReadathon hosted on Twitter.  These readathons have kept me in the mood for reading whereas I've mostly wanted to pick up my knitting and crochet. Anyways, more updates later on as days go on.
