Bonus Friday #1

I hope your week has been well! Mine's been fairly slow work wise and fairly insane otherwise! On this lovely Friday, I'm straying away from my normal posting schedule (Mondays and Wednesdays) to share a little something extra with you.

This Month, I've decided to take on a few different tasks/challenges/activities outside of my normal. One of these is Camp NaNoWriMo! For those who don't know, way back in November 2012 I participated in the National Novel Writing Month (see my write up here). I'm still very proud to say that my first ever NaNoWriMo was a success! But that was almost two years ago now and I've not been able to pen another novel since! So, here we go with another NaNoWriMo Challenge, Camp NaNoWriMo!

Camp NaNoWriMo is quite a bit different than November's challenge. Most noticeable is the ability to set your own word-count goals! Because I managed 50,000 words in a month last time, this time I'm aiming for 52,000 words for my second novel in the series! 2,200 words down, 49,800 left to go!

Secondly, I'm participating in the first month of the NovelTea Book Club, hosted over at My Life as a Teacup. ook for the month of July is Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore. So far so good. I really am loving the facebook group where we have the discussions about the books. There are so many wonderful people participating with so many interesting ideas and things to say that I love getting on the page 100% of the time!

What big things are you wanting to accomplish this month? Are you participating in the NovelTea Book Club or Camp NaNoWriMo?

July in Review

I think it was a great first month of the new, revived blog! I managed to post 14 posts last month! I'm very proud of my new project and the optimistic direction it is heading. I'm grateful each and every person who has come to read my life, which is mostly filled of books and sorority life. Thank you so much and I'm looking forward to an awesome second month as well!

I started out the month on the 6th with my introductory post: A Girl








Then followed that Saturday with a weekend write up: An Adventure in Baking

The next week was a crazy awesome week with a post every day, and my trip to Colorado!
That week we has a Book Review on Monday: The Princess Diaries: A Book Review

Another weekend write up on Tuesday: Of Sisters, Food, & Explosives
Wednesday had a very serious post explaining my school decisions: A Change of Pace
Thursday was a photo loaded post: The Great iPhone Clean Out
That Friday was the first (and so far only) Finishing Friday.
Finally on Saturday I showed some of my newest YouTube Subscriptions: New Subs!


The next week things calmed down a bit with only two posts:
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: A Book Review
Pinning Sweetly #1

Next we had a good week with two book reviews and a haul
The Esspressologist: A Book Review
A Haul of Sorts - in which my darling Nook was introduced and given a new handmade cover!
Audrey's Guide to Witchcraft: A Book Review

Finally the last post of the month was another book review Monday in which I reviewed Choker by Elizabeth Woods.

I hope you all enjoyed last month's posts as much as I did!















How was your July?
