Maid to Match - Deeanne Gist
A Talent for Trouble - Jen Turano
All I Am (A Farmers' Market Story) - Nicole Helm
A Gentleman For All Seasons - Shana Galen,Vanessa Kelly,Kate Noble,Theresa Romain

My list is short because most of my reading will be for BL-opoly. Summer COYER has no restrictions unless it is reading for the read-a-thons or the treasure hunt. I will be doing one COYER read-a-thon this month as well as setting aside time to read a book off the Nixon list I have. 

 

Nixon Reading List pick this month is Very Strange Bedfellows: The Short and Unhappy Marriage of Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew by Jules Witcover. 

 

Deserted Island Read-a-thon (June 9-22, 2019) list: Maid to Match by Deeanne Gist, A Talent for Trouble (Ladies of Distinction #3) by Jen Turano, All I Am (Farmer's Market #3) by Nicole Helm, and A Gentleman For All Seasons by Various Authors.

 

Currently working on The Dancing Lady: The Ninth Lady (The 12 Days of Christmas Mail Order Brides #9) by Mimi Milan for BL-opoly.

COYER Summer 2019 Sign Up Post

 

 

 

I am going to do a more laid back COYER this season, as it is happening at the same time as BookLikes-opoly and I have the move coming up. My approach is going to participate in the social aspects (FB posts and Twitter Chats) and two of the read-a-thons, but not the treasure hunt. I will be using a reading journal to keep both games straight and be a record when I won't have Internet access. I am promising myself to be better at keeping track and logging my points.

 

Read-a-thons 

1. Deserted Island June 9-22, 2019 (5 points)

    My List: Maid to Match by Deeanne Gist (268 pages), A Talent for Trouble (Ladies of Distinction #3) by Jen Turano (264), and Rebel Cowboy (Big Sky Cowboys #1) by Nicole Helm (278 pages).

 

2. Evil Octopus August 11-24, 2019 (points will depend)

    I have a lot of short books that fit the page range of 80-125 pages.

 

Social media participation will happen until I don't have Internet access. I have already put the Twitter chats on my planner (including local time slots).

 

So here's to reading down my e-Readers since I won't have access to physical books or libraries until after the move/after the challenge is over.

July 2018 Reading Wrap Up
All the Devils are Here: The Hidden History of the Financial Crisis - Joe Nocera,Bethany McLean
At Your Request (Apart From the Crowd): An Apart From the Crowd Novella - Jen Turano
Gaijin: American Prisoner of War - Matt Faulkner
Mystic Park (A Finding Home Novel) - Regina Hart

The heatwave/drought is taking it's toll on me and my reading. It is really hard to concentrate on less than totally engrossing reads. I was also much more busy IRL than I thought I was going to be at the start of summer vacation and August looks more like the same. 

 

My participation in this summer's 24 in 48 was lacking, but I got a bunch of smaller stuff read and off/archived on my NOOK, so I am okay with participating very low-key. The trial run of a reverse Dewey was better. I finished off two books for July and started August reading, all in eight hours.

 

For COYER, I participated in the Christmas in July read-a-thon - I got 3 books done.

1. No One Would Listen: A Financial Thriller by Harry Markopolos - 2 stars

 

2. Lafayette in the Somewhat United States by Sarah Vowell - 3.5 stars

 

3. Lethal Warriors: When the New Band of Brothers Came Home/Uncovering the Tragic Reality of PTSD by David Philipps - 3 stars

 

4. All the Devils Are Here: The Hidden History of the Financial Crisis by Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera - 5 stars
