Weekly Memos

I haven’t done this in awhile. I’ve been a little busy and would forget. Or I would forget it’s Monday entirely. Anywho I don’t have to much going on. I have two challenges for this month. One I have not really done because I just can’t get into the mood to start the books listed for that challenge. Why can’t I get into the mood? Well I started reading three other series that have pretty much taken over my life.

Weekly Goals

1. Finish #Poser
2. Try to finish the Hashtag series
3. Finish Bedlam Butchers’ series
4. Finish Ice Planet Barbarians series.

 

Weekly Memos

I missed last week’s weekly Memos. I’ve been really busy and it totally skipped my mind. Along with flashback Friday.

Weekly goals

1. Start Little Selkie
2. Finish Bear Bites series
3. Write Bear Bites series review
4. Finish Ghost Riders series
5. Start Ghost Riders review

I don’t have a challenge discussion this week. I am planning to have a personal challenge I want to do in September. I will be figuring that out and getting my September challenges ready. Hope everyone has a great week.

Discussion: Weekly Memos

Well it’s that time again. Last week of the month. I have a few challenges that I need to finish up plus making new monthly challenges. For the month of August I have chosen August Olympic Challenge from Goodreads group Challenge Corner,  Finish What You Started (series), and Opposites Attract from Goodreads group The Challenge Factory. I’ll probably have other challenges posted. I will do no more than five.

Weekly Goals

1. Start Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
2. Finish Phantom of the Opera and write review.
3. Start Dracula
4. Make posts for both challenges and post them.
5. Finish writing review for Harry Potter and Chamber of Secrets.
6. Finish with July Challenges

Challenge Discussion

I didn’t get to do much this month with my challenges. It has been one of the busiest months at work. Plus I’ve been kind of burnt out on reading. So I have slowed down quite a bit. Plus I was introducing Wy to Game of Thrones since he won’t read the books. I’ve been watching all five seasons. Haven’t had the chance to sit down and watch the sixth season due to us not having HBO. We have to wait till it comes out on DVD/ Blu-ray.

With the newest challenges coming up I have a big question. Does anyone watch the Olympics? If you do what is your favorite event to watch? I do watch the Olympics when I can and I love gymnastics for summer and ice skating for winter along with bobsledding.

Hope you guys have a fantastic week!

Challenge Discussion

I am doing a quarterly challenge called Diverse Books. I have to find books that have MCs or places that are different from me or where I am. My mother is Italian and German who had two sisters, my father is Spaniard, Mexican, French, and Native American who had three sisters. I have only one brother. I don’t have any sisters. My mother didn’t really do much with me when it came to girl stuff when I was little. She is trying to make up for that now. My father spoiled me with books and art supplies. I hung out with him and my brother which made me more of a tom boy when growing up. I grew up on a farm in Colorado and now live on the outskirts of a small town in Kansas. I find myself more comfortable around guys than I do with girls, mostly due to mean girls when I was growing up. I never really had one close best friend. I do have close friends but I never really had that one best friend that has survived a long time. I tend to find myself always overthinking little things. Dumb things really.

This challenge has really opened up my eyes on how different my world is compared to someone else’s. You, who is reading this is different from me, but does anyone really stop to think about it. Yes we are human on the outside but do we really try to see the human on the inside? How many of us share the same insecure feelings? How many of us look at someone and want their life to find out in return they look at us in the same way?

I remembered that when I was a freshman in high school that I want to travel the world to know the different cultures. I still have my goal of learning seven different languages. I am working on learning Spanish right now. Of course I want to try all the different main dishes around the world.

So my discussion question is thus: How are you different from me? Truly I do want to know.
