Books Read: 1
No. of Pages Read: 70 pages
Challenges: Book Scavenger Hunt @ The Book Monster
Blogs Visited: 8
I definitely didn't have as much time for reading as I'd hoped today. I was a lot busier than I thought and also Celeb BB started in the UK tonight and I always watch the launch show, so that kind of took up my reading time tonight. I'm aiming to finish Heir of Fire tomorrow though!
Tuesday
No. of Pages Read: 58 pages
Challenges: One True Pairing @ Infinite Ink
This required a lot of thought because I have a lot of book couples that I love, but I think my OTP has to be Will and Tessa (Wessa) from The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare. God. These two had an extremely rough journey before they even stood a chance at possibly being together. The extremely close friendship between these two characters was something that I was rooting for to turn romantic from half way through Clockwork Angel. I just adore Will and Tessa and how amazing they are together and they made me cry on countless occasions.

After I've done everything I need to do tomorrow, I'm going to lie in bed and finish Heir of Fire.
Wednesday
No. of Pages Read: 244 pages (finished Heir of Fire) & 23% of Isla
Challenges: 0

Heir of Fire may have destroyed me though. The ending made me sob and was soul destroying. So I decided to move onto Isla instead of Timebound because I needed something light after all the heart-break.
Tomorrow I need to give myself a kick up the arse and visit a ton of blogs to make up for yesterday and today.
Thursday
No. of Pages Read: 77% of Isla (finished) & 61 pages of Timebound
Challenges: 0
Blogs Visited: About 25? I didn't comment on all of them, but I did find quite a few new blogs to follow!
Well, I stayed up until 2.30am this morning finishing Isla because it was so freaking adorable that I just couldn't put it down and spent the entire time reading it with either a stupid grin on my face or tears rolling down my cheeks (or both)! And then I had a terrible start to my day when I woke up which really didn't put me in the mood to read at all. so I only managed to get through 60 pages of Timebound (which was a lot less than I'd planned). But today was still a great reading day since I finished my second book :)

Blogs Visited: 5 (no comments because I had absolutely no time today)
Today has been a busy, busy day and I'm absolutely shattered. I'd planned to come home and get about 100 pages of Timebound read, but I'm waaaaay too tired. I should have quite a bit of time during the day tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to catch up on commenting on other blogs and also finish Timebound!

Books Read: Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas; Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins & Timebound by Rysa Walker (NOT FINISHED).
So I read two and a half books this week... which is really sucky for me. I never pushed myself at all, instead I was just being extremely lazy. I'm going to spend Monday making up for not visiting blogs some days of the week and I'll be visiting tons (hopefully)!
