#VASRP MINI CHALLENGE 6

How many books have you read for this challenge so far? I read 15 books.

How does that compare with your goal? I made it to Fishing Jig Reed. I added more books to my summer tbr, it's a Manga series. My mood changed so I might not even read some of the books that I originally planned too.

Would you be interested in doing reading sprints? No

#VASRP MINI CHALLENGE 3

The challenge: Read something other than a traditional book

Magazines? Back of a cereal box? Graphic novels?--What is your favorite ‘nonbook’ to read?

I don't read Magazines all the time. I like Cosmopolitan and decided to pick them up from the library. It's just something about the summer that makes me want to read a magazine. I read Graphic Novels, I also get them from the library but I recently bought Descenders, Vol 1 & 2. I love the art to that one.

Manga - I count this as a book but some people don't. I know it's wrong but I read manga online. It's just more quicker and I don't have to wait for the next release. My library doesn't have the volumes to some manga or don't have it at all. But I want to try to read what they have to make it count on goodreads and to support. Right now I'm getting all of the Volumes of Blue Exorcist because they have all the volumes that are in English (I'm going to go back to reading it online cause I know I'm not gonna wait for them to be translated in English). I never read this manga but I watched the Anime and loved it, Can't wait for Season 2!!.

And I read FanFiction. :) That would be my favorite 'nonbook' read. I read that more than books.

#VASRP Mini Challenge #2

Show us your library card and/or your library!

There is also a Key Chain one for your keys.

How often do you go to the library?
8 times a month. I work at the library twice a week. I put the books back on the shelves, fix the shelves, and check if the books have any Holds.

What resources exist at your library?
There are 58 libraries in Brooklyn. They also have learning centers for adults. They have events for all ages, Toddlers to Adults. Games, Arts & Crafts, Chess. You can learn to put a Resume together. Knitting. They have GED courses/classes. They have so much that I don't even know about. Some libraries have different events. Also FREE SUMMER MEALS for kids 18 and under.

They have books, ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, newspapers, computers, an area to charge your laptop, free wifi, educational books, movies, music, a summer reading challenge where you can win a prize. They also have books in different languages, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, etc.

Here is a pic of some of the stuff they do at the library I work at:

#VASRP Mini Challenge 1!

*Who you are and do you have a blog/if so, what is your blog?
My Name is Ashly and yes I do have a blog. It is Book 'n' Go. I'am not on it that much. I'm on Instagram, Twitter, & Tumblr.

*What are the reading goals you are setting for the summer?
I want to read as much as I can. I want to read the books off my list.

*Did you participate in a summer program as a child? What made it memorable for you?
Nope.

*What is something interesting about yourself?
I'm almost 24 and when people first meet me think I'm 16 years old. I guess that is interesting about me.

Virtual Adult Summer Reading Program (#VASRP)

Hello, I just found out about this Summer reading challenge from another blogger. I decided to join because I am reading this summer and it sounds fun. Click on the pic for the official link.

Here is how it works.

Between now (the first day of Summer) June 20th thru September 5th 2016, we encourage you to read as many books as you can. These can be books you have been meaning to read, or you can now select one of the lists that we created below based on your interest. The most important thing in all of it is to have fun reading!

We have picked the theme “Get Hooked On Books” for Summer 2016. To that end, the levels that you will be reading are based off that theme. Your level will be calculated at the end of the summer and based off that you will be eligible to win awesome prizes! In order to win the prizes at the end of summer, you must sign up using the linky below and provide us with your status during our monthly posts in July, August, and September.
