Happy President's Day

Good Morning Book Nerds!

I am so happy to be back reading.  I have read so many amazing and not so amazing books so far this year.  Yesterday, I finished book #9 of my books read for 2018.  From January 8th - February 8th, I have read 6 books.  From February 8th until now, I have read 3 more.  My goal for the year was 5.  I am trying to reach that goal each month.  That way, I will have read 60 books by the end of the year.  That would make me so happy.  I am currently working on 10, 11, and 12.  I am finishing up Tilt by Ellen Hopkins.  I just started Across the Way by Amy K. McClung and I am working on The Bloom Girls by Emily Maine Cavanagh.  These are such amazing books and there are so many more that I can't wait to get a hold of. 

I wanted to join Book of the Month club, but I am unsure I will feel about the books that they send to me.  I am not really picky with what I read, however, I have found I don't love everything.  Is there any other book of the month clubs out there?  How about ones that have romance, YA, or NA books?  Those are my favorite.  The only thing I found exciting with Book of the Month club was memoirs.  I'm not sure I'd want to read them every month, but we will see. 

Goodreads 2018 Challenge

Happy Saturday Book Nerds!

So I set my goal on Goodreads this year, considering how my reading track record has been going, pretty low.  Ok, extremely low.  I didn't even give myself a chance.  I really thought it was going to be difficult for me to find the time to read, but I have been doing really well so far.  So I have finished 3 books in 22 days and my goal for the entire year was set for 5.  That's right.....FIVE!  I have almost crushed that goal is less then a month.  Next time I need to give myself more credit.  Here is to surpassing my goal a few times over this year!

Me Time

This year, I have decided to bring back Me Time.  As a full time preschool teacher, mommy, and wife, I really have little time for myself.  So this year, I pledge to give myself, even if it is 5 mins a night, on those I'm too exhausted to function nights, to read for me.  I will leave reviews for each book that I read, but I won't be offering out specific time frames to finish anything.  However, if you are looking for a review with no deadline, I'm your girl.  So please feel free to hit me up!  I am definitely looking for new indie authors.  All my favorites have moved on to be signed and I am extremely excited for them and their exciting careers.  I want to get back into the book community.  Please keep me up dated on what is new, so I can get reacquainted to the exciting world of reading!

Currently Reading for 2018...

Happy Sunday.....Have a wonderful day!

5 Years

Happy 5 years to Book Nerd 101.  I can't believe I started this journey 5 years ago.  I started reading about 6 months before I started my page and I love every second of reading.  I lost track of my passion as my life started to change.  I met my, now fiance, back in October of 2013 and our daughter was born in April of 2015.  So life was moving very fast for me and I didn't really give myself a chance to slow down and enjoy some me time.  I love where my life has brought me and I wouldn't change a single moment.  This year, I have decided that I am going to take some time each day and start getting back into reading.  I have been doing pretty good.  I'm starting slow but I hope that I can continue.  So here is to another 5 years! 

Happy New Year

I have currently gotten back to my 1st passion.....READING

I am looking for some book recommendations.  Please feel free to leave them here, on my Facebook page, or in an email.  I am willing to post book reviews in exchange for new releases.  Thanks everyone!
