Okay, I think I've made a button for my
September is for Sequels Challenge. It should be below this little paragraph, so if you'd like to add it to your blog, that would be awesome!!
I think it looks okay for a first try, don't you? It's not exactly what I wanted, but I think it works.
Second, I thought I'd give you all a rundown of how I'm doing on my own challenge so far! Well, I've got one book down, as you can see from my review I posted of Shadows by Ilsa J. Bick. My plan was to start with an adult book, One of our Thursdays is Missing by Jasper Fforde, as I got the NEXT book in the series as an ARC, and I'm still behind. But I had trouble getting into it. It's been a while since I've read that series, and while it wasn't completely boring, I just need to have time to read it, and not be trying to get through as many books as I can, so I'm thinking over Christmas break maybe. Then I had an e-galley that expired on September 10th, yesterday, that I wasted a day on, soon figuring that I wasn't going to be able to get through it. So now I am finishing up my 2nd actual book I'm counting as part of my sequel challenge, The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. While it is the first in his new series, it is kind of a sequel to the Percy Jackson series, so I'm counting it. However, it is over 500 pages, so taking a long time! Yikes! Hope I can still get to my goal of 8 this month! Plus, I've got another e-galley that expires on Friday, hoping I get done with it quick when I finish my current book.

And finally, every year I make up my TV schedule based on Entertainment Weekly's Fall TV Preview Issue. I finally did it this week, it seems this issue comes out later every year! It does seem as if I have less shows to watch this year though. Usually I have some days when I have recording on 2-3 channels straight from 7-10 pm. And it really looks like I won't be giving too many new shows a chance this year. Hope that's not a mistake, but we'll see.
