Seize the Tuesday: (6)


Seize the Tuesday is a book blogger meme created by myself and the Adi Alsaid Street Team, to share stories about how we’ve seized the Tuesday, with a special focus on the particular book we’re reading. We’ll share our posts online with the hashtag: #LetsAllGetLost. 

   The idea is to share little ways in which you may have embraced Bree’s motto of seizing the Tuesday. To relate it to books, you can talk about what book you’re reading, and how you stole some moments from the day to enjoy reading. It doesn’t have to be about reading, but we all know that a well-read day is a day seized. The idea is not just to help spread the word on LGL, but also to remind people to live fully, even/especially if that means spending a part of your day reading.


   When I was younger my grandparents used to take us to the local Zoo at least once a summer, then we started to get older and my Oma passed on, and so I haven't been to the Zoo in years. 

   A few years ago the Zoo opened a new exhibit, which featured a whole bunch of stuff from Churchill Manitoba. Churchill is the worlds capital for Polar Bears, and its only a 3 day train ride from my home! Because I've actually visited Churchill, I became very excited to see what they had for the exhibits. 

   So finally, today I am Seizing the Tuesday by finally visiting the Zoo with a bunch of my friends! Watch me buy a bunch of lame T-Shirts and stuffed animals aha.


   How are you Seizing the Tuesday?

   So my Seizing the Tuesday for today is pretty boring, I'm seizing the day by trying to studying my butt off for my two exams on the 18th. English and Physics, where English is a piece of cake I'm kind of terrified for the Physics exam..... Both my courses are AP (Advance Placement) so my exams are going to be twice as hard as a regular exam.  You can see why I'm terrified.

   Besides that, I've started reading the new Becca Fitzpatrick book, Dangerous Lies. It is definitely is must read guys, I highly suggest you place this baby on pre-order.

   Anyways, I might not be online all that much until Friday, besides a few posts I already have scheduled. Wish me luck on my exams guys!

   School started back up from break this week, unfortunately. With the 3 day road trip last week it feels like my Spring Break was only really a weekend. So now I'm back to being a sleep deprived kid with lots of homework that I have to deal with daily. 

   So today I'm going to Seize the Tuesday by rereading The Mortal Instruments series, along with its companions The Infernal Devices and The Bane Chronicles. First up is City of Bones. 

  It may not be much for Seizing the Tuesday, but along with everything I have to do today, it'll just have to do. 


   How are you seizing the day?

  Seize the Tuesday, like it says above was created from the book Let's Get Lost. Well for today's Seizing I finally read Let's Get Lost. I had gotten myself an ARC about a year ago and now I've finally read it.

   It wasn't that there was something wrong with the book, it was that like the book I wanted to get lost on my own road trip and read it. So I finally did.

   My family and I are currently on a road trip to a small town beside Minneapolis to pick up a new camping trailer for the summer. It's a 8 hour drive from our home by Winnipeg to the trailer place. So I made it into my own little adventure.

   My review for Let's Get Lost should be up sometime next week.


   That's how I Seized the Tuesday, how did you seize the day?

Seize the Tuesday (2): Figuring Out What to Read Next

   Today is Tuesday, and you know what that means. It's Seize the Tuesday day! Today's Seize the Tuesday is about figuring out what to read next.

   Recently I've got back into reading, unlike my last Seize the Tuesday where I couldn't find the time to read. In the past week I finished Lailah by Nikki Kelly, and Talon by Julie Kagawa and today I finished Magic Study by Maria V. Snyder. You could say that I'm on a roll! Which is perfect because recently I've been so stressed out that I needed some books in my life. The only problem I have now, is figuring out what to read next!

   At home I have a pile of books that I've been meaning to read and have no idea what I should pick up next. Looking at GoodReads helps, asking people on Twitter does too but I can never make the final decision! What do you guys do to pick your next book to read?

   So today I Seized the Tuesday by picking out what to read next, it may seem small but I still feel like I Seized the Tuesday.

   How did you Seize the Tuesday?

   (P.S I picked The Diviners by Libba Bray to read next!)

Seize the Tuesday (1): Finding Time to Read

   This is my first ever Seize the Tuesday post, to be honest I usually forget that it's Tuesday and that I should post it until the day is over. Today is different because my blogger bestie posted a topic I'd like to talk about, so in other words she inspired me.

   I've been struggling to read since Christmas break. In January I did read 3 1/2 books but it still doesn't feel like I'm getting enough reading done. Plus I wouldn't call it a slump, I've actually been feeling this way since the beginning of September. I've just haven't had any time or push to read really since school started, it's just been emotionally and physically draining me. The most I feel up to lately is just discussing books on Twitter or Instagram, or you know not wanting to do anything and just binge Supernatural when I have free time.
   In school I recently just started my english course, which means every time I have time to read, it will be spent on reading assigned books. 
   I'm going to try my best to read my books this month though, it being February means it's I Love to Read month. So reading is a must. I have a few books in mind that I've been dying to read so I'm going to do my best and read those! Hopefully whatever has got me in this mood will change soon!

   That's how I'm Seizing my Tuesday, with reading. What about you? How are YOU seizing your Tuesday?
