It's Bout of Books time again!

I must be insane...
I've been reading very slowly, if at all, lately. I've been tired and my new term started, so I'm trying to hit SCHOOL books pretty hard. So I'm gonna go very low goal this time, just like last, and see what happens. This will be my 8th time participating and it's Bout of Books #11 :)

"The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 18th and runs through Sunday, August 24th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 11 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog." - From the Bout of Books team

Top Ten Favorite TV Shows

I'm pretty stoked about this week because I get to talk TV :D Well, I could've gone the movie route as well...I have some random tv loves. Some are because of Netflix, some are old loves that will always be favorites.

1. Spongebob Squarepants. I'm nearly 26 and have no problem admitting my love for SB. I've watched it since the very first episode and will be devastated when it is cancelled.

2. Archer. Polar opposite of SB, but I am in loooove. I caught a random episode of season 3 with Nick, but wanted to watch it from the very beginning. When he returned from deployment, we binge watched 5 seasons.

Seriously Series 2014 Update #2

Update #2: My April through June progress

I've read an additional 14 books to the 7 I read for the January - March progress which is seriously amazing.  I had a little streak where I read like 4 books in a week and I put caution to the wind and read books that weren't on my TBR. I finished an additional 4 more series I started prior to 2014...and I added a few to series I started this year.

My goals:

• Series started before 2014: Seriously Spectacular Series Star. I want to make a dent in the 56 series in 2014. I'm aiming for 20. I may add some if I can finish. - completed 7/20
• Series started in 2014: Seriously Serious. I can't help but start new ones :)
• Series rereads: Semi-Serious. I plan to reread 3 series this year already, so that's perfect.
