What Rue Read in September and Expectations for October

My expectations for September was to finish at least one book, since being back in school, I am unable to read as much as I was during school.

I was able to finish that one book, plus three novellas, which I consider books. As always, the books I own will be starred, which the book that I did read I do own.  I have not finished an audio book this month, but I am currently listening to "Bloodroot" by Amy Greene, and I am still listening to  "The Fault in Our Stars" By John Greene

Here is what I finished reading this month:
  1. The Farm by Emily McKay: 5 out of 5 stars*
  2. Kalona's Fall by PC and Kristin Cast: 5 out of 5 stars
  3. The Prince by Kiera Cass: 3 out of 5 stars
  4. The Guard by Kiera Cass: 3 out of 5 stars
Expectations for October:
My expectations for October is pretty much like they were for September. I would like to finish at least one book. I am planning on starting today either "The One" by Kiera Cass or "Revealed" by PC and Kristin Cast. I would like to finish at least one of the two audio books that I am currently listening to at this point. I would like to finish at least one novella. I own the two novellas from the Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi Series.

Peaceful and Happy Thoughts,
--Rue.

What Rue Read in August and September Expectations

Back in July, I said that I would be lucky to finish 3 books, but I ended up reading 5 books in August. Now the reason that I read so few is that we moved in August, so the majority of my time was packing and moving.

As always, the books I own will be starred, which I don't think I read any books this month that I currently own, and the audio book will be bolded. Also the rating I gave on good reads will follow each book. Clock worth Princess I book listened to and read the book. I also bought the book.

Here is what I read this past month:
  1. Champion by Marie Lu: 4 out of 5 stars
  2. Dragon's Oath by PC and Kristin Cast: 5 out of 5 stars
  3. The Bitter Kingdom by Rae Carson: 5 out of 5 stars
  4. The Giver by Lois Lowery: 3 out of 5 stars
  5. Clockworth Princess by Cassandra Clare: 5 out of 5 stars. *
Clockworth Princess was the last book I read in August and for the summer. School started back at the end of August, so my summer is technically over. By July, I had read the goal that I wanted to read for the summer. For the summer, I read a total of 36 books.


September Expectations:
Now since school has started back I will not be able to read as much as I previously was reading this summer. My expectations for September is to complete at least one book. I am currently reading "The Farm" By Emily McKay, and I am half way through. Also I am listening to "The Fault in Our Stars" By John Greene. I will keep you all updated.  I am three books away from my new goal of 50 books for the year. If I am able to complete one book a month from now until the end of the year, then I will be able to read at least 51 books, and pass my 50 books for the year goal.  I am unsure of how many more books past 50 I will read. I will get to read a few more in December since my classes end in December.
