. Its a weekly post to showcase what books you got, recap the week, and talk about what will be coming up this week on the blog!
Thank you Random House & NetGalley!!! I'm seriously so freaking thrilled I got approved for this!!! Like I'm all kinds of excited for this!
So the February Link-Up went live this past Monday. Remember, there's still lots of time to sign up! And I promise, you don't have to be super hardcore into Dystopia to participate. One of the badges is to read like 1-5 books. That's not too bad if your just wanting to try out a few books eh? Come join the fun!
So book related news first. If anyone needs a good sale.
Barnes & Noble is offering a 3 for $30 sale on a lot of teen books. I browsed through and found a number of great books included in the sale. Including some just released books, in hardcover. Totally worth a look! The sale ends at the beginning of March.
For those of you that saw last weeks post, you'll remember I talked about how I was gonna start eating healthier and start working out. Well, I have been working on portion control (which is really one of my big issues with food). So far so good on that front. And I started working out this week. OMG guys. I swear I'm literally dying. I'm so out of shape!!! Lol. My body is so sore from the muscles not being worked out much. Hey, no pain no gain though right?? I'm gonna keep at it!
Another fun tidbit. I don't know how to drive a manual (stick shift). A few months ago James and his mom started teaching me the basics with the clutch and timing and whatnot. So since then, we haven't had a chance to go practicing. Well, this week I got back in the drivers seat. Not for long. Just to move our jeep from a random spot in the parking lot back to our assigned covered spot (which someone stole like 5 mins before James got home from work, hence having to move the jeep). But OMG. I didn't stall it!!! I may have slightly peeled out a bit, but I didn't stall it!! That's the important bit. I'll take it! It felt good not stalling it on the first try after not practicing for about 3 months!
