GOAL FAILED!

Reading:

○ Lady Midnight, by Cassandra Clare [page 362]
○ F*cking Awkward, by Various Authors [page 124]

I feel so bad of not doing good in this readathon. My reading slump is getting out of control and I don't like that not one bit. Plus, I was at the beach and basically no one let me read in peace. Too much people bothering me with a lot of stuff. I read just 3 pages in all that weekend. I was away from my laptop and there wasn't Wi-Fi anywhere. Not my kind of vacations, for sure. Anyways, hope to do better next time around.

As I said before, I'm in such a book slump that is hard to get out. I need to read more! Now, the challenge of today:

FAVE QUOTES!

"Before I kissed you, I learned what it's like to crave every single living cell in my body.

When I kissed you, I finally figured out why chaotic hurricanes are named after people.

After I kissed you, I realized that I have been waiting for you since before I was born."

--- Lynette Simeone

"I know I could lie, but I'm telling the truth. Wherever I got there's a shadow of you. I know I could try looking for something new, but wherever I go, I'll be looking for you."

--- OneRepublic

"Some people care too much. I think it's called love."

--- Winnie the Pooh

I have so many, that I just cannot keep writing more. I chose to write one from a book, one from a person in love with philosophy and another from a song. Very diverse, right? I love so many quotes that I have TWO notebooks of them. I'm still not doing good in my reading, but I'm trying.

My book slump attacked again. I read nothing at all! I feel such a failure. I need to read more! Now, the challenge of today:

Spine Poetry!

Prompt: Create a poem using a minimum of three books. There is no maximum. You must use all of the words in the title of the book towards your poem. The poem does not have to rhyme or make sense.

Dangerous Lies Across the Sky are the Breaking Point. Sometimes It Lasts, but Dorothy Must Die Easy with The Assassin's Blade till Hades come.

It looks more like a prophesy than a poem, but oh well, aren't prophecies poetry? Whatever. Let's see if I can read tomorrow to catch up with my challenges.

If you liked this… You should try this…

Prompt: Recommend a book based on another book.

If you liked _____, the you should try ______, because...

Because even though I hate to compare books, they look very alike. In the Hunger Games, everything was game after game after game... well, in the Testing is the same, but tests (which some look much a lot like a game). They also have some sort of arena, so it definitely will click some things in your mind. It was a good read. Plus, is a trilogy too!

This is a hard challenge, okay? I cannot think of anything more, sorry. Let's see how good or bad I do this week. I still hope for everything to come up better than expected.

TreesofReverie 72 HR Read-A-Thon

24th - 26th January 2015 | Host by: Tress of Reverie

Goal: read as much you can

Read Today: 0 books
Total Books Read: 3 books

Pages Read: 27 pages
Total Pages Read: 920 pages

Reading:

○ The Darkest Part of the Forest, by Holly Black [page 27]

Books Read & Its Reviews:

○ Love Is a Many Trousered Thing, by Louise Rennison [271 pages]
○ Stop in the Name of Pants!, by Louise Rennison [286 pages]
○ Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me?, by Louise Rennison [336 pages]

My day was sooooo LAME! I read only 27 pages of The Darkest Part of the Forest, because that's what I could before some show [Once Upon a Time] pop out by itself (not) in the computer and I watched two episodes of it on my actually free time. The excuse is so lame, I know, but its what (not) actually happened. *winks* Now, the challenge of today:

Happy Australia Day!

Create a wishlist of books written by Australian authors.

Create a wishlist of books that are written by Australian authors. Your wishlist may be an already existing list or you may wish to create a new one. All books featured on the list must be written by Australian authors. Why did you choose these books? Is there anything that you’d like to share about any of these books or authors?

• Marcus Zusak
• The Book Thief
• I Am the Messenger
• Graeme Simsion
• The Rosie Project
• The Rosie Effect
• Melina Marchetta
• On the Jellicoe Road
• Saving Franchesca
• Looking for Alibrandi
• ML Stedman
• The Light Between Oceans
• Liane Moriarty
• What Alice Forgot
• Brooke Davis
• Lost & Found

I don't actually have read anything written from an Australian author, which its sad because I should. I chose these books because some of them are in my TBR pile and the other are very popular in goodreads, so I may give them a try. Happy Australia Day, people!

My TRUE goal was to finish at least TWO books in this read-a-thon, but I just out done myself and I read THREE. If its goes well, I my finish this read-a-thon with FOUR read books. Now, the challenge of today:

Which book would you love to see a film adaptation for?

Choose a book that has NOT already had a film adaptation created or has NOT got one currently planned for the future. (There is no restriction on when the book was published.) Why have you selected this book? Is it one of your favourite books? What about this book would you love to see in a film? Do you have any particular actors or actresses that you’d like to see in the adaptation? Are there any locations that you’d love them to film at? Is there anything that you’d like to share about this book or its potential film adaptation?

My pick would be Shatter Me trilogy, by Tahareh Mafi. She is a very very good writer and her books would be such a cool idea for a movie. Its totally one of my favorite series so far! I would love to meet the characters [on-screen] and see every little scene between Warner and Juliette. I do not have a cast, because I like surprises, but Jennifer Lawrence would be an excellent Juliette, don't you think? If you haven't read the books I assure you that they are very very GOOD and I loved them so much that I know you will do too!

Let's see how well I do tomorrow!

Book Read & Its Review:

Actually, I was supposed to make a TBR list, but I cannot, because I wasn't that ready for this read-a-thon, so I did not knew. I read this book from page one to the last in one sitting today. It was a lame day for reading and reviewing. My TRUE goal is to finish at least two books in this read-a-thon, but if I do more than that, I will be very very happy. Now, the challenge of today:

Create some book spine poetry!

Create a poem using a minimum of three books. There is no maximum. You must use all of the words in the title of the book towards your poem. The poem does not have to rhyme or make sense. If you are struggling to create a poem, you may use one free word of your choice for each book that features in your poem. The word can be anything that you’d like and can feature in any part of your poem.

don't look back to the city of heavenly fire!

if i stay, just for now, it will shatter me easy more than thisthese lies beneath that aren't gone.

Do you like my "poem" that doesn't rhyme, but I kind of like?
