Holy crap guys, I have read SIX MOTHERTRUCKNG BOOKS so far.
It’s now half way through hour 13. I’m on my second energy drink, a starbucks doubleshot. Here’s hoping I don’t catch heart palpitations lol.
Anyways here’s what I’ve completed so far:
Torn
The Unicorn's Tale
Juniper Berry
All three of these books are CYBILS books, so hurrah for catching up a little bit on that.
ALSO
During my hour of cheering, I happily left comments on ALL of the participants in the group I was assigned. HURRAH.
And of course, you guys already know that when I’m in a spot that I can’t read or am writing up one of these posts, I’m listening to The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan.
