Review-A-ThonS [Day 3 & Wrap-Up]

The weekend is ending today and so is one of my review-a-thons, but I still have another one and the read-a-thon too. I'm still too lazy to make two posts [even if its a wrap-up], because anyway I will post the same reviews I have done today, so still winwin. I survived one, so I hope to survive the others. See it for yourselves!

Review-A-ThonS [Day 2]

The weekend started yesterday and so did two review-a-thons, but on top of that there is a read-a-thon starting today, so it means that I must be in full swing. I'm still too lazy to make two posts, because anyway I will post the same reviews I have done today, so winwin. I hope to make it and for now I think I'm surviving. See it for yourselves!

As you can see so, the progress is the same for both challenges and that will not change until tomorrow that one of them ends and the other keeps going, so... Anyways, I think I did a lame job today (because it was the same as yesterday), but it was NOT my fault. Blame my professors for giving assigments on the first weekend of classes.

Review-A-ThonS [Day 1]

As I said somewhere before this weekend is full of challenges (also I'm full of homework too). There are TWO review-at-thons starting today, that I know of and entered, so this is a progress post for both of them. I'm that lazy for not making two posts, because anyway I will post the same reviews I have done today, so winwin. Plus, tomorrow is starting the #TreesOfRiverie Read-A-Thon too, so more challenges for me. I hope to make it and for now I think I'm surviving. See it for yourselves!

Sophie & Suze's Review Challenge [Sign Up Post]

There is a time for every reader when you keep reading and reading... and somehow you "forgot" to review those books and they are now piled up waiting to be reviewed. Well, this challenge is perfect to make yourself work a little bit, dust off that pile and knock down those reviews once and forever.

So, Sophie [from Reviewed The Book] & Suze [from Lavander likes, loves, finds & dreams...] created this challenge. It goes from January 23 to February 2. TEN DAYS! Obviously, the challege is as simple as that, make many reviews as you can, but try to challenge yourself.

Me, myself and I already challenge myself to make at least 8 reviews between January 23 to January 25 thanks to Write On Review-A-Thon, so those books [obviously] will be included in this challenge, but [duh!] I will add more. I enter to both review challenges, because I want to seriously knock down my review pile. Hopefully gonna knock down these:

Scarlet (Lunar Chronicles #2), by Marissa Meyer
Cress (Lunar Chronicles #3), by Marissa Meyer
Looking for Alaska, by John Green
Aristotle & Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, by Benjamin Alire Saénz
Rapture (The Elfin #2), by Quinn Loftis
Searching for Perfect (Searching For #2), by Jennifer Probst
Infinite (Newsoul #3), by Jodi Meadows
Dear Girls Above Me, by Charles McDowell
Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac, by Gabrielle Zevin
The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green
Winter (Dog Days #2), by Sierra Dean
and others that I still don't know...

Write On Review-a-Thon 12 [Sign Up Post]

The Write On review-a-thon is a monthly event created and hosted by Brianna at The Book Vixen. This time, for the FIRST TIME ever, it’s 3 days dedicated to getting reviews done, whether you have one review to write or 30+. This edition of the review-a-thon takes place all day Friday, January 23rd through Sunday, January 25th. Let’s get those reviews done!

Bout of Books Read-a-Thon end and its time to write some reviews. Err... yes, I wrote and posted all the reviews from the books I read, but I still have quite a TBR (this case To-Be-Review) pile somewhere. I need to knock down the number 68, at least to a 60. So, this is my chance. It will be a weekend, which basically is very hard for me to read, but not to review. Hurray!

What I plan to review:
