Jumble Your Genres Reading Challenge 2014 ~ January: Young Adult

So this year Readers Live A Thousand Lives, Corrie The Book Crazed Girl, and Lovin' Los Libros have teamed up to host the Jumble Your Genres Reading Challenge! For this challenge, the goal is to mix up the genres/categories we read. We have all had those times when we have gotten stuck in the genre/category we are currently reading and read nothing else for a while. The goal here is to mix that up! Each month we will feature a different genre/category and the goal is to read and review one book or more in that genre/category during that month. This month we are focusing on Young Adult. If you want to find out more and join in, go sign up here.

~My Favorites~

  

 I spent a most of the last half of last year reading New Adult/Contemporary novels so I am super excited to get back into YA this year. I am doing my own YA Series challenge this year so I'm excited that January is Young Adult month for the Jumble Your Genres challenge.

~What I Plan to Read~

I have heard AWESOME things about this series so I am so excited to read it. So far, I am loving it!

15 Day Book Blogger Challenge ~ Day 1

I saw this post on my friend, CeCe's blog over at Steaming Mug of Books and thought is sounded like a lot of fun. 

This challenge is hosted by April over at Good Books, Good Wine. It is a new, unique challenge to put some spark back into blogging. Day 1 challenge is to Make 15 book related confessions. Here are mine!

1. I have become a New Adult addict. It seems to be the only thing I want to read.

2. I have a serious one-click addiction and purchasing problem over at Amazon. I can't stop myself! I need an intervention.

3. I will read an entire series from book 1 to the end even if I hated every single book. Yet, I have no problem not finishing a stand alone book.

4. I am 28 but I love to read young adult books and I totally swoon over the male characters in these books.

5. I sometimes watch the movie before I read the book. I hate that I do that but I can't help myself.

6. I have a ridiculous amount of books on my TBR but every week, I keep on buying more.

7. I have over 350 books on my kindle. That's probably not a lot compared to most people but it is a shocking amount to me.

8. I get severely, emotionally involved with books and can lose sleep over a particularly  intense read.

9. I cannot read in silence. I need to have music playing or TV in the background. I prefer music but anything will do.

10. I have been known to spend an entire weekend in my pj's on the couch reading. It just happens, I can't control it.

11. I took a 3 year hiatus from reading, where I read maybe 1 or 2 books in a year. I am shocked that this happened because I can't imagine only reading 1 or 2 books in a week now.

12. All of these sexy, sweet book men have effectively ruined my love life and skyrocketed my standards. 

13. Some of the friends I have made book blogging have more in common with me than my closest friends where I live and I haven't even met them in person yet.

14. I am a Jasinda Wilder fan girl. Falling Into You and Falling Into Us are my all time favorite books and I will tell anyone who will listen to me about them.

15. Book blogging is awesome! I love reading and discussing books and I have made awesome friends doing it and that's what matters most to me!

Can you confess to any of these?
