Rainbow of Books Challenge:
Neon Yeti Reads' Rules are as follows:
"So, you start with white on the bottom, then red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo (purple), violet (like a darker purple), and then black! The spine should have at least a majority be the color you are looking for, but just use your best judgement to get the rainbow-like flow."
The books I used were the following:
White: Austenland by Shannon Hale
Red: Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein
Orange: American Colonies by Alan Taylor
Yellow: Illumination Night by Alice Hoffman
Green: The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia
Blue: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Indigo: Huntress by Malinda Lo
Violet: The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook by Dinah Bucholz
Black: Looking for Alaska by John Green

These show my eclectic taste in books!

Thanks to Katherine for hosting!

Bout of Books 10 Update Day 2

Currently reading: The Maelstrom, If I Should Die, Angels in the Dark
Pages read: The Maelstrom- 28 pages, If I Should Die- 14 pages, one short story in Angels in the Dark

I did not take half of my allergy/sinus medicine today and paid the price. I had a bad sinus headache and could barely read anything for most of the night. Work was pretty busy and I had my last elementary school visit of the school year, which was a little sad. However I usually see several of those kids during the summer, so it was not as sad as when I last visit with other schools. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better reading day, but I may have to sit in on board meeting, so a little less time to read.

I went on one of my last school visit for this school year today. It is always kind of sad, but hopefully I will see several of the students at the library during the summer, especially during Summer Reading. I almost killed a turtle this morning. I pulled out of my garage and was waiting for the door to finish closing, because I am always paranoid it is going to shoot back up, when I looked up and saw a turtle a few inches away from the tracks where my tire had just been. His head and feet were out, so I just knew I had run over him, but when I checked, he just looked at me and went slowly on his way. I really like turtles, so I was glad he was okay. Reading went okay today too. I did not have much time to read, but I manage to get a few pages in. Hope you all had productive days!
