Bout of Books Challenges - Day 2

BOOK SPINE POETRY

Challenge:

1.  Minimum of 3 books and no maximum.
2.  All words in title of the book go toward your poem
3.  Take a picture of your poem and type it out so we can read it.

4.  You can only use the title and you get 1 free extra word for every book in the poem.

Hunger,

Lies,

and Fear.

Perfect.

Something Real.

 

 

Okay, so it's a little dark, but it also kind of explains my book preferences... =)

I used 1 free word, "and."

BOUT OF BOOKS READ-A-THON 11.0 ANNOUNCEMENT



I will be participating in the Bout of Book Read-A-Thon 11.0. I can't guarantee I will do well in said read-a-thon. I have work all week and an out-of-town bachelorette party, but I'm gonna do may best. Also, so sorry to be away so long. Bar exam. Enough said. =)

My reading list is as follows:

1. Probably finish reading Where I belong by Mary Downing Hahn unless I read it all tomorrow.
2. Read Player One by Ernest Cline
3. The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen
4. Finish The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas
5. Back up books include Salt & Storm by Kendall Kulper and The Assassin's Curse duology by Cassandra Rose Clarke

I will be doing periodic updates so keep an eye out for that! =)

For more info on the Bout of Book read-a-thon

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 18th and runs through Sunday, August 24th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 11 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

My only real goal is to average 100 pages a day at least...
