Any happy "Liz passed comps!" would be appreciated though. I'm fairly confident I did okay, but there is always this sneaking doubt in the back of my head. We'll just wait and see!
So..now I get to read for fun again. Here are some things I've got lined up:
Nightlife: A Parody by The Harvard Lampoon. I'm a little bit into it, and it's entertaining. If a reader was a Twi-hard, I could see it annoying them a bit.
Operation Yes by Sara Lewis Holmes. I heard the author speak at the Southern Festival of Books and I've been looking forward to reading this since then!
I've got to re-read these! Since I finished the last book, I wanted to re-read The Hunger Games trilogy in order back-to-back. I'll get to it sooner than later!
I enjoy Nicholas Sparks' books, and I'm excited to dive into his latest work. In his video talk on Amazon, he describes the book as being somewhat similar to The Guardian, which is my favorite of his novels. Safe Haven was actually the first book I had planned to read post-comps, but I couldn't find my copy when I was packing for my trip across the state! I'll have to remember where I put it.
The Cardturner by Louis Sachar has been on my list to read for a while, but after hearing Sachar speak at the Southern Festival of Books, it catapulted to the top.
I saw Love in a Time of Homeschooling by Laura Brodie at my library and was interested. There are a lot of home school families that visit the library, and a lot of people I know are choosing to home school their children and this just stood out to me. I'm looking forward to this book!
So, there are the books up first! I'm so excited to be able to read for pure enjoyment again, I'm sure it won't take me long to get through these.
What's on your to-read list? Share your list! Is there anything you think I should read? Let me know!

I know you did well!!
Last year I read 100 books and had the same goal this year. I gave that up mid September. But I will read as many as I can.
My to-read list is too long to post but this is what is coming up- Misguided Angel by Melissa de la Cruz
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian by Sherman Alexi
If I Stay by Gail Forman
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
I have a ton of arcs to read that I can't seem to get to.
I think next calendar year I am going to re-read series.
