Duration: June12-18 This is the readathon that Kayla from books and lala has been doing for a bit now.  So I will leave here the announcement. The chosen word this time will be: My picked TBR: * Since you 've been gone, Morgan Matson - A YA nice summer read, that has been sitting in my TBR for almost a year and a half. I hope it's a fast read. * Girl wash you r face, Rachel Hollis. This is a book I saw mentioned in a TBR or wrap up, can't be sure really. It should be about self-acceptance and it will help me with my personal challenge to read more non-fiction. *P.S. You r cat is dead, James Kirkwood Jr. This seems like a funny YA story about someone having a slight downtime that promises to be hilarious to read about.  * This is how you lose her, Junor Diaz. This seems like a good choice, summer is for romance stories so this seems like a good choice. Translation: I have no idea what this is about but I fond it by chance and picked it XD

It's literally midway of May.  I had several issues, very little time for reading, the stress of work and to top it all Scribd played a bad move on me.  Suddenly all the audiobooks were removed from me until after the 30th... I was super surprised and not in a good way.  I had seen a lot of people complain about Scribd having fake advertisement and that it didn't really have unlimited access as it claimed but I had ignored them. I mean mostly I thought that it gave you the option to choose from the most recent releases in a limited way but the rest of the books, older titles were not affected like this. I was wrong. I picked in my TBR several, most of my books from Scribd and also most in audio format. But then around the maybe 12 - 13 I noticed one of my books was not available and I thought to myself, oh damn I made a mistake it was not on audiobook. Oh well, and I picked another one to replace it. But then the next one was also no available. That made me suspicio...
