July A-Z Challenge

Melissa:
Well, I've found myself repeating letters now.  It's hard to keep up with review books and these challenges as well. Hmmm. Very hard!  But I did review one book that is a new letter this month, with luck!  It was posted on the very last day of July. lol.

July YA

Melissa:
Well, I'm a slacker once again.  So sorry!  I didn't read any YA books this month.  But I do have a few lined up for August. So I should (keep fingers crossed all works well) have at least two, well at least one. :)

So, I'm still ticking off letters of the alphabet.  I would think I should be done by now, but dang that's a lot of letters to hit! lol.

May A-Z Challenge

Melissa:

Well, I got two letters down and wasn't trying! LOL. I was surprised as the month went by so quickly for me.  But when I started looking through I realized I had actually did okay this month...with this challenge that is. ;)

March: YA (Spec Fic) Challenge

Melissa:

I've gotten to a few! Yeah! I'm not a complete slacker. lol.  But I really do seem to be having troubles getting through YA reads this year.  I did much better with them last year.  I'll have to look over the stack and see what I can get to.

I did get 2 YA books reviewed in March:

Lodestone: Book 3: The Crucible of Dawn by Mark Whiteway
The Graveyard Gymnasium by Kelly Lougheed

I think April and May are going to be tough months for me with the YA genre.  I have many review books to get through in April so I can read a few book before going to Balticon at the end of May.

March: A-Z

Melissa:
Wow! March is past us already.  Where the heck is the year going already?  It's flying, and in doing so, making me feel like such a slacker.  I still have 15 letters to read.  Sounds like it's not so bad being we have 9 months left, but I'm finding a lot of titles have the same beginning letters!

Okay, I did get to 2 new letters this month:
   The Graveyard Gymnasium by Kelly Lougheed
   Whiskey Sour by Skyla Dawn Cameron

I'm hoping to get at least 2 letters down, if not 3 here in April.

February in Review: YA (Spec Fic) Challenge

Melissa:

Um, ah... I'm a slacker at my own challenge!  Okay.  I did read 2 YA books, but I didn't get the reviews up just yet.  I will have them up for March's post though.  And maybe a third YA book in the mix too.  I'll work harder at doing better.

February in Review: A-Z

Melissa:

So, it's been a decent month.  I read more than this but these are all that fit in this Challenge.  I think the letters are going to start to thin out!  I need to take a look at the titles I have on the shelves here.
