Weekly Reading List #58
By Cynthia Ayala
Hey there avid readers! So this week is looking like a very Kate Brian centric week. I didn’t even realize that until I started on this list. Right now I’m on a very tight budget so my reading list depends on what I already have in my Nook and Kindle (because yes, I have both apps on my e-reader — I like free books). Anyway, the goal is to finish up some series that I have already started, especially since I have the handy-dandy library which is very accessible. Other than that, school is good. I have this 5-7 page paper that I’m working on and I just need to get it done while I work on some of my other projects.
But anyway, here’s my weekly reading list. Happy reading!

Weekly Reading List #57
By Cynthia Ayala
Hey there avid readers! I hope everyone is having a great weekend. My weekend was full of surprises, including a visit from my fiance. It was a wonderful weekend and I got all the homework I needed done in record time. It’s nice to have time to spend with the ones I care about and not have to worry about work.
But anyway, I’m sure none of you care about that. Or maybe you do, I don’t know, but here’s what you’re really here for. I managed to knock two books out last week. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was amazing! Although Harry Potter is a terrible father. But overall, it was all very good, and I loved it. I couldn’t sleep until I finished it. But anyway, here is my upcoming reading list. Happy reading! Continue reading “Weekly Reading List #57”
