It's almost time for another round of summer coyer.
This summer we have two options. 

1. Read all the books no rules 

2. Summer Reading List 

Check out the sign up for the full rules. (Here) 

I'm going to have to start making a list because both options sound like fun and I think I'm going to do a little bit of both. This way I can work off my list and still read books, not on the list. I'm a mood reader but hope this forces me to read more. 

Be sure to sign up too. Don't forget to join the facebook group for updates and daily questions.

My Series

A Shade of Dragon by Bella Forrest  I've had my eye on this one for ages but haven't started it. I think it's a perfect trio to kick off the summer. Who doesn't love a dragon romance? Plus the covers are stunning!!!

Books to Movies 
Didn't read as many as I would have liked. 
This year I want to read and then watch the movie and compare in a review. 

Zombies 
One of my favorite Genres but I didn't read very many last year. This year I want to push myself to read at least 16.

I've signed up for so many but lots of them I can use the same book for which is great. 

I'm not going to pick a level till I have them all figured out.

I'm so excited for this challenge. I did it in 2015 and failed horribly. Things are a little more routine now and I think it's time to give it a shot. It's the one part of blogging I feel like I've been terrible with. I hope 2017 will be my year. 

I'm doing level 2 Creative Conversationalist because I'm going to ease my way into it. 

My goal is to do at least one a month but secretly I'm hoping one a week but I'm going to plan for 12 so that way if I don't get one every week I won't be disappointed.

This challenge is all about review books that are 4+ months past due. 

I hate to admit that I have lots of these and hope this challenge will motivate me to read more of them. 

I have a huge stack of review books that I need to get to. 

This is just a small pile of the ones on my review list. I admit a few are one's that I purchased but the stack on the left is almost all reviews. eek I feel terrible. My ebooks are just as bad the last half of the summer I haven't done much reading. 

I'm looking forward to catching up.
