Summer Lovin' Read-a-thon Update #5 and Progress and Plans

"Whole lotta shakin' going on",
 
 
Hello bookworms,
 
Before I begin discussing the post I would just like to THANK EVERYONE SO MUCH for the over-whelming response I've had recently. I can't believe the amount of positive comments and views I've received. Blogging really has changed my life for the better and I wish I had the time to post everyday but I do the best that I can. Yet again THANK YOU!
 
Anyway so today I'll be writing about how I've been doing in the read-a-thon and what I hope to be reading for the rest of the read-a-thon.
 
Firstly I'll do an Update for today and yesterday :
 
 
Update #4
I didn't read as much as I'd hoped to yesterday as I only read to page 78 in Magenta #3 - Magenta goes green by Echo Freer.
 
I've certainly made up for it today already though as when I came home from a splendid day at school the heat and the sun made it irresistible to read outside.
 
 I finished Magenta #3 - Magenta goes green by Echo Freer in addition to starting and finishing Lovephopia #1 (Manga).
 
 I'm currently on page 17 of Love Struck by Rachael Wing and hope to finish it either tonight or tomorrow morning so I can return it to the library that same day.
 
 
Progress and Plans
 
 
Number of Books read so far - 5 books !
 
Sabrina the teenage witch #2 - The magic within (graphic novel) - Last 29 pages
 
Nancy Drew Files #7 - Deadly doubles by Carolyn Keene - Full 149 pages
 
Magenta #1 - Magenta Orange by Echo Freer - Full 203 pages
 
Magenta #3 - Magenta goes green by Echo Freer - Full 198 pages
 
Lovephobia #1 - Full 140 pages
 
Not counting for this but will count towards page count total
Love Struck by Rachael Wing - First 17 pages
 
 
Number of Pages read so far - 736 !
 
End of Read-thon TBR
 
This weekends weather is supposed to be hot and sunny so I hope to read these novels as I'll probably read more.
 
If I do read all these books I will have exceeded my goal of 7 books by reading 9 books and also triumphed my goal of 1,250 pages by reading 1,414 pages !
 
 
 
Love Struck by Rachael Wing - Currently reading this
 
Both sides of time by Caroline B. Cooney - Found this in the book box at the back of my German class (all the books in the box are English though) and thought I'd borrow at as she's one of my favourite author's.
 
Nancy Drew Files #59 - High risk by Carolyn Keene - NED'S IN THIS - ENOUGH SAID !
 
Sabrina the teenage witch #10 - Lotsa luck - Couldn't believe it when they had this at the library. I wanted to read one of the normal novels after reading the spectacular graphic novels.

Summer Lovin' Read-a-thon Update #4, My Favourite Tear-jerker and Book Spines Poetry

Tears on my pillow,
 
 
Hello book lovers,
 
So today I'll be discussing a book that brought out my sensitivity and my poetry skills.
 
Before I get started though you'll see how I'm doing in the read-a-thon.
 
Take a look :
Update #4
 
I finished re-reading Magenta #1 - Magenta Orange by Echo Freer last night and so far today I've read 32 pages.
 
Hope to read tonight from 20:45pm - 22:00pm.
 
My Favourite Tear-jerker
 
This book is not for the optimistic person. The ending... will leave you crying for days. No one can ever say the words 'Bridge' or 'Suicide' without my vision blurring.
 
KAI NEVER SHOULD'VE HAD TO DIE! He's one of my favourite male characters and his letters truly made this book for me. 
 
The most depressing book ever.
 

Book Spine Poetry Challenge
 
 
The Outsider's Farwell
 
Saturday Night,
 
Last Dance,
 
The Princess and the Pauper,
 
The Outsider,The Wild One
 
Say Goodbye,
 
 
 
"Olivia, Wild Child,
 
Pretty Please,
 
Remember Me."
 
 
 
New Love
 
The New Boy , New Girl
 
Together , Perfect
 
The Sweetest thing
 
 
Spring Break,
 
Paradise Lost,
 
The end of everything.

Summer Lovin' Read-a-thon Update #3 and My Favourite Fictional Female

Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee
 
Hi Bookaholics,
 
Today I return to the schedule of the read-a-thon and discuss my favourite female book character.
 
Let me just say it was literally the hardest thing ever to choose my favourite so I just ended up choosing one I really adored.
 

My Favourite Fictional Female is...
(Picture isn't mine) 
Alison Dilaurentis
 
From the Pretty Little Liars series obviously I enjoy the parts with her in most in the books and the show.
 

The reason I chose Alison is that she's just so bitchy but humourous at the same time.
 
She's the ultimate definition of popularity yet no one ,not even her friends, truly knows the real her.

 
Now let's see how my progress is for the read-a-thon :
 
 Update #3
 
I finished the last 16 pages of Nancy Drew Files #7 - Deadly Doubles by Carolyn Keene yesterday evening and tried to read J-17 - Double Love by Jacqui Deevoy  but it wasn't satisfying so I only read the first chapter.
 
Last night I also began reading the first book in one of my all time favourite series' Magenta #1 - Magenta Orange. I'm re-reading it so I can read Magenta #3 - Magenta Goes Green which I haven't read before. Currentley I'm on page 94.
 
Going to try and finish Magenta #1 - Magenta Orange tonight -probably won't though - and if I do I'll be reading the Lovephobia manga which won't take long.
 
Plan on reading - 19:30pm - 22:00pm.

The challenge was created for the read-a-thon by ShelfAddiction.
 
My Teaser Tidbit :
 
 
"Tell no one" the senator had said. Despite the muggy summer heat, Nancy felt a chill. - Page 3 , Nancy Drew files #7 - Deadly Doubles by Carolyn Keene.
