COYER Wrap-Up Post

I participated for the first time in The Clean Out Your E-Reads Challenge this summer, hosted by Fantasy is More Fun, Because Reading, and Books, Movies, Reviews.Oh My!  It was my very first Challenge and I think I did okay as I had a very busy summer too. I read 14 book! I had planned on reading 20 but I'm still really happy. I had great fun and can't wait until the next COYER!

Here's how I did:

• Read 10 of my owned physical books (I have 4 shelves full of books I haven't read so putting a dent in the number would be great).
• I only read 4 physical books all summer! I can't believe it!
1. Voice of Innocence, Lindsay Detwiler
2. War Horse, Michael Morpurgo
3. Divergent (Divergent #1), Veronica Roth
4. Insurgent (Divergent #2), Veroncia Roth

• Read 10 ARCs/ebooks and increase my Netgalley Approval Ratio.
• I hit the nail on the head by reading exactly 10 ARCs and ebooks. I also managed to improve my Netgalley ration by 17%!
1. Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls, Lynn Weingarten (Netgalley Ratio 40%)
2. The Elite (The Selection #2), Kiera Cass (Netgalley Ratio 47%)
3. The One (The Selection #3), Kiera Cass (Netgalley Ratio 50%)

• Join in with some of the Facebook activities.
• I started off really well with this and answered the questions (almost) everyday. Bu then I got really busy and completely forgot about it.

• And lastly, I plan to join Twitter soon so if I get my head around it I will try to join at least 1 Twitter party.
• I did join Twitter! However, I couldn't join any of the Twitter parties. I was either working or had something on every single time one was scheduled and I'm really gutted.
