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 &lt;b&gt;Graphic Novels&lt;/b&gt;, I also get them from the library but I recently bought &lt;a href="https://www.goodreads.com/series/150905-descender"&gt;Descenders&lt;/a&gt;, Vol 1 &amp;amp; 2. I love the art to that one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

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 &lt;a href="https://www.goodreads.com/series/57627-blue-exorcist"&gt;Blue Exorcist&lt;/a&gt; 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!!.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

I read that more than books.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Show us your library card and/or your library!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEcgy2TgG7dceRQhKcyfltzQygiZMVT89feIr9EzaNJq66gY_3TvcCrLGWGCTsxr0iboMVtX95_GejZTyIpztpcyOUIRcrqKR1Zi72l4-_q_Zcb4miXvNOeY4v_dHPcDglGo5sTOlf78-E/s1600/Ashly+++Trick_Trick92++++Twitter.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEcgy2TgG7dceRQhKcyfltzQygiZMVT89feIr9EzaNJq66gY_3TvcCrLGWGCTsxr0iboMVtX95_GejZTyIpztpcyOUIRcrqKR1Zi72l4-_q_Zcb4miXvNOeY4v_dHPcDglGo5sTOlf78-E/s320/Ashly+++Trick_Trick92++++Twitter.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
There is also a Key Chain one for your keys.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How often do you go to the library?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What resources exist at your library?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There are 58 libraries in Brooklyn. They also have learning centers for adults. They have events for all ages, Toddlers to Adults. Games, Arts &amp;amp; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is a pic of some of the stuff they do at the library I work at:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;*Who you are and do you have a blog/if so, what is your blog?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
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 &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/travelbookslife/"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Trick_Trick92"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;, &amp;amp; &lt;a href="http://travelbookslife.tumblr.com/"&gt;Tumblr&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;*What are the reading goals you are setting for the summer?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I want to read as much as I can. I want to read the books off my list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;b&gt;*Did you participate in a summer program as a child? What made it memorable for you?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Nope.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;b&gt;*What is something interesting about yourself?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I'm almost 24 and when people first meet me think I'm 16 years old. I guess that is interesting about me.</description><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn0mSyYA7RQ9aEEXHZxa8E3kRMfOTwkn8dP8zp9oui-fpA3QyKoCL8fN8fYxV5dKjFWEqsW4nmpfdq0LiY2e1uuZmUPpoeOg9ClXX0R-oLMAPLXrmSDg2yb5DmqucaDQZMpLLdTQzKHrjr/s72-c/VASRP+Graphic+1.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total></item><item><title>Virtual Adult Summer Reading Program (#VASRP)</title><link>http://ashlyhbooks.blogspot.com/2016/06/virtual-adult-summer-reading-program.html</link><category>summer reading tbr</category><category>VASRP</category><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><pubDate>Thu, 30 Jun 2016 22:26:00 -0400</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294068627914286005.post-7108142268133007213</guid><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

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.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
The Read-a-Thon is Hosted by &lt;a href="http://www.teaandtitles.com/make-me-read-it-read-a-thon-2016-edition/"&gt;Ely&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href="http://www.theinnocentsmiley.com/"&gt;Val&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 style="background-attachment: fixed; background-color: white; background-position: left top; background-repeat: repeat; box-sizing: border-box; color: #30ddc1; font-family: Lora; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 1.1; margin: 10px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-align: center; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"&gt;
&lt;span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"&gt;So, how does this work?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;blockquote style="background-attachment: fixed; background-color: #a6ddd4; background-position: left top; background-repeat: repeat; border-left-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 5px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: &amp;quot;Indie Flower&amp;quot;; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; padding: 15px; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"&gt;
&lt;div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt;
Look at the books you own, either physical, e-book or ones you’ve borrowed from the library and pick out a few you really want to read, or feel like you should read. It’s up to you how many you pick, personally I’d pick a few more than you expect to be able to read in a week. Example: if you think you’ll only read two, pick out five books or if you think you can read seven, pick out ten.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt;
Make a list of these books on your blog, or make a video, or a Goodreads shelf or post a picture on Instagram—whatever is easiest for you. Then get friends, other bloggers/booktubers etc. to vote on which books you HAVE to read.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="box-sizing: border-box;"&gt;
When the read-a-thon comes along, you read the books in the order of most votes. For example, if one book gets 10 votes—you read that first, then the one that got 7 and so on. If there’s a tie, then it’s your preference. The goal is to read as many as possible.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;h3 style="background-attachment: fixed; background-color: white; background-position: left top; background-repeat: repeat; box-sizing: border-box; color: #30ddc1; font-family: Lora; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 1.1; margin: 10px 0px 15px; opacity: 1; padding: 0px; text-align: center; transition: opacity 0.24s ease-in-out; visibility: visible;"&gt;
&lt;span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"&gt;When is it happening?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Lora; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;
The read-a-thon will take place from the 9th to the 16th of July in your timezone. You can start anytime you want on the 9th, so just fit it around whatever works for you! As for the voting, that’s up to you too! Just remember to link your post/photo/video/tweet in the linky at the end of this post so everyone can vote on&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Which hour was most daunting for you?&lt;/b&gt; The last 3 hours, I couldn't do it anymore and last book I had left was annoying me. I went to sleep.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?&lt;/b&gt; 1) Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan 2) A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness 3) Through the Woods by Emily Carroll 4) Gracefully Grayson by Ami Polonsky&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next season?&lt;/b&gt; No&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?&lt;/b&gt; Everything&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;How many books did you read?&lt;/b&gt; 5, Completed 4&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;What were the names of the books you read?&lt;/b&gt; Ruby on the Outside by Nora Raleigh Baskin , The Great American Whatever by Tim Federle, More tales to keep you up at night by Ben H. Winters, SOS: A Prequel to the Silence of Six by E.C. Myers, Stand-Off by Andrew Smith&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Which book did you enjoy most? SOS: A Prequel to the Silence of Six&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Which did you enjoy least?&lt;/b&gt; The Great American Whatever&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again?&lt;/b&gt; What role would you be likely to take next time? As long as something doesn't come up I will be participating in the next one. I will be reading again.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11861815-winger"&gt;Winger&lt;/a&gt; - I really enjoyed the Ryan Dean West Shenanigans. But he was immature and mean. My favorite part has to be the 'Screaming Ned' that was too funny. Also why did that ending have to happen?, it came out of nowhere and why that character? :( &lt;b&gt;4 Stars&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It was an okay read for me. The main character was pretty stupid. Almost everyone was telling him not to do this, but he still did it. Then he did it again. Got himself into all this trouble and he was just going to run away, and not even try to fix his mistakes. He spent like nine months with his aunts and did nothing. The adventure part was boring.&lt;/div&gt;
