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.

Library Lovelies and Riveting Reservations #5

 

"Nothing is pleasanter to me than exploring in a library.”

 

Hey Bookaholics,

Today I guiltily bring you another Library Lovelies and Riveting Reservations post even though I'm supposed to be on a Library ban.

The library ban means there isn't going to be a Riveting Reservations section in this post.

Let's begin :

Nearby District Library

Lovestruck by Rachael Wing

 

Sounds like a cute summer contempory.The blurb hardly reveals anything at all so hopefully this means it won't be predictable.

 

I've never read anything by an author in their teens before so it should at least be an experience.

 

 

 

Sabrina the teenage witch - The magic within

 

I remember watching the show with my sister (I was a toddler and she was a 7 year old) when she used to be obsessed with it.

 

The story and art of this graphic novel sounded intriguing therefore I couldn't resist borrowing it.

 

I'm actually about to start it after this post (and admittedly a bit of procrastinating on Youtube).

 

 

Love Phobia #1

 

Read a vampire manga before that was okay so I thought I'd read another.

 

My District Library

 

 

Magenta #3 - Magenta goes green by Echo Freer

 

I read nearly all the books in the series last year (#1,#4 and #5) but this one wasn't available to me at the time therefore I couldn't sample the humorousness that I hope -like the others - it contains.

 

I think I'll have to read the first again before reading this novel which will be a pleasure as this is one of my favourite series'.

 

The world's worst mothers by Sabine Ludwig

 

The premise seemed pretty engrossing and original so I thought I'd try this 2013 release.

 



Thanks for reading this post!
