I've been such a slacker with this post. I wanted to keep it an update a couple times a week at least and that hasn't been happening. This year I'm going to do better. Diary Entry is a random post which I share what I'm reading, bookish news, random thoughts, teasers, covers, and some not so bookish stuff.
Reading
Currently I'm reading
Silver Moon Light by Marah Woolf (Goodreads) Not very far I was going to start yesterday but I had book club so I'm looking forward to spending the day reading.
Bookclub
I had bookclub last night. Our last book was Revival by Stephen King. Sadly I wasn't able to get into it but that's ok can't love every book. This time around we are reading When by Victoria Laurie. Not my choice but it should be good.
Blog
I've got lots of updating projects this week and hope to get them all done. Need to finish off my January projects. Need to finish my discussion post but I'll get it done this weekend for sure. I also created a discussion image now keep in mind I'm not very graphic skilled to start with but it's not terrible. It's not bad but not amazing. Hopefully as time goes by the more I practice the better I will get.

Currently I've read 5 eligible books.
I'm planning on taking part in the Twitter chat today. It's a great group of ladies. I'm really enjoying this challenge. It's given me the chance to make some new bookish friends which I've been desperately in need of.
Goals/Challenges
I'm a little behind on my reading only 8 so far this year. I hope to get at least 5 this week if not more. I'm still in need of some blog updating which is my big goal of January. My old reviews need to be revamped and updated at least when I first started they are bad.
Craftiness
I'm a craft project nut but I'm kind of all over the place this year. Here are a few I'm currently working on. One is my cross stitch that I need to finish from last year it shouldn't have taken me so long but I've been slacking. I'm hoping to finish it this week. Just need to finish my castle and add a fairy.
The black crochet is going to be a purse that I want to cross stitch on. I saw a Pinterest picture of it and decided yup need to try it.
I need to make a few more bookmarks but I took some of the holiday wrapping paper and made these two.
Cover Love
I can't decide if I love the cover or the synopsis more.
Becoming Jinn by Lori Goldstein (Goodreads)
.jpg)
Forget everything you thought you knew about genies!
Azra has just turned sixteen, and overnight her body lengthens, her olive skin deepens, and her eyes glisten gold thanks to the brand-new silver bangle that locks around her wrist. As she always knew it would, her Jinn ancestry brings not just magical powers but the reality of a life of servitude, as her wish granting is controlled by a remote ruling class of Jinn known as the Afrit.
To the humans she lives among, she’s just the girl working at the snack bar at the beach, navigating the fryer and her first crush. But behind closed doors, she’s learning how to harness her powers and fulfill the obligations of her destiny.
Mentored by her mother and her Zar “sisters”, Azra discovers she may not be quite like the rest of her circle of female Jinn . . . and that her powers could endanger them all. As Azra uncovers the darker world of becoming Jinn, she realizes when genies and wishes are involved, there’s always a trick.
