Bout of Books Day 4 Update

Yesterday I was able to read 82 pages, 68 pages of Ten and 14 pages of Vampire Academy. Both books are really good, I just wish I felt better! I did finish another CD of Floors. I did the Book Spin Poetry Challenge and found two new blogs to follow. I am feeling worse tonight, probably because I worked all week and didn't sleep well. Oh well, at least I have good books to look forward to!
Hope you all had a better day!

Book Spine Poem: Escape Through the Pages

Today's challenge is the Book Spine Poem hosted by Escape Through the Pages.
You use books you have on hand to make a poem. You can use only as many extra words as you have books.

Here is my poem:

Adios, Nirvana

Karma Bites

You Killed Wesley Payne

with your
BloodThirsty

Hunger

I used 5 books and two extra words. This was fun!

Bout of Books 6.0 Day 3 Update

 

I finished another CD in Floors and have started the third CD. I read only 60 pages yesterday, because I had to work overtime. I am really enjoying Vampire Academy and wish I could find more time to sit down and read it. Ten is really creeping me out, but in a good way. I found two new blogs to follow and participated in the Page 48 Challenge, which was really fun. Hope you all are making good progress!

Bout of Books Day 2 Update

 

I felt a little better today, but actually read less pages. I finished 62 pages total, 46 in Vampire Academy and only 16 in Ten. I did one challenge the Cover Love challenge and found 1 more new blog to follow. I finished 1 CD of Floors, which is interesting. I think the Whippet Hotel would be a fun place to visit! I went to bed at 8 and actually slept the whole night! Hopefully my cold is going away.

The Page 48 Challenge: Booking in Heels

Today's Bout of Books challenge is hosted by Booking in Heels.

Here's how to join in:

• Turn to page 48 of your current book, or 48% if you're using an e-reader.
• Take the first complete sentence on that page and copy it.
• Now you're going to continue the story! Ignoring the real plot or anything else you know about that book, add four new sentences of your very own. You can morph the plot completely, kill everybody off or go off on a huge tangent - anything goes!

So I turned to page 48 in Ten by Gretchen McNeil
"So you're Tara's cousin?" Lori asked

"So you're Tara's cousin?" Lori asked.
"No, I am her evil twin who also happens to be a half-vampire, half-fae, half-werewolf," Janie replied.
"Oh, I guess that is cool," Lori said as she glanced around for someone who was better at conversation.
 "So did you come here alone?" Janie asked while looking at Lori hungrily.

Maybe I have been reading too many paranormal books lately. :)

Cover Love: Ms. Buff

Ms. Buff's challenge was to pick your favorite cover or the funniest cover.
I am really bad about judging a book by its cover. I love beautiful covers and will sometimes checkout a book without reading any of the blurbs, just because it has a pretty, shiny cover. Some of my favorites include The Selection by Kiera Cass and Enchanted by Althea Kontis.

Harcourt

Harper Teen

But my favorite cover is Entwined by Heather Dixon. I love the fonts and the ivy and her beautiful dress! What are some of you favorite covers?

Greenwillow Books

Bout of Books Day 1 Update

I ended up receiving two audiobooks to review in the mail today that are due by the 25 of this month. This changed my plans for audios, since one of the reviews is the second in the series, I have to listen/read to Floors by Patrick Carman. It looks interesting and should be a quick listen/read.
I finished one CD of Crescendo yesterday. I also read 46 pages in Vampire Academy and 26 pages in Ten, for a total of 72 pages. Not bad, considering I have a cold and went to bed by 8:20pm. I also found two new blogs to follow and completed one challenge! I should have just stayed up reading, since I couldn't breathe and therefore did not sleep, but around 5 hours. Hopefully today will be better!
