Update: Why I've been absent (#1)

Hello everybody!

Yes, I've been absent from my blog for a couple days. No I wasn't taking a break, and no I wasn't neglecting you guys. I would never do that! I love blogging. It's so much fun and there are so many great people in the blogging world, I couldn't just up and leave, not without warning.

I've been so busy lately and then one thing led to another and then I found myself with less time for reading. Currently I am reading Reckless and I'm only on page 100! That's it! I should be finished it by now. I would be finished it if it weren't for all this homework and what nots.

Being in grade 12, my grades are an important part of my life right now. I've applied to a bunch of Universities around Canada here, and so I've got to keep my grades where they are. I can't just slack because of a book. Oh, do I wish I could do that. I'd slack any day for a book. But that's ludicrous, I need to study hard and work hard. Ugh!

I'm going to shut up now because now I'm just going on and on. I don't want to make excuses, but it's the truth. I will continue doing reviews as I finish books.

Holiday reading Challenge update: I've read 2 holiday themed books so far! Yay! I've got 5 more holiday themed books to read until I reach my goal! Check out my review if you'd like ^.^

Christmas giveaway: As some of you know I've decided to join a few giveaway's. I am going to do a giveaway, just not both of them. I feel so extremely bad for saying this, but I think I am just going to do the one giveaway where you can win a book. This means no gift card giveaway. I don't expect any of you to be happy with this, and I don't expect any of you to appreciate or understand. It's hard to put yourself in some one's shoes. I've had a few incidents happen that have left me money short. They were unexpected and surprising. Though, I am not going to rid the giveaway's completely, just take one away. So, I am holding a giveaway, just not the gift card one. I apologize.

Well that's all from me today. Look out for my review on Reckless, hopefully soon. Also, I've got a bunch of books coming in the mail that I will be doing a "What's in my mailbox" post about. It was my birthday on Friday (November 25th), and so my mom got me some books I've been wanting. Thanks mommy ^.^

Books, excuses, and apologies,
