Read-A-Thon Day 3

Well it is the third day of the read-a-thon and sadly i have to admit that i have given up on Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone and marked it did not finish. I got 67 pages in but the story line was confusing and i couldn't get into the story.

so i have now read 389 pages and have started Breakable by Aimee L. Salter. So far i really like this book and am enjoying reading it and am 62 pages in.

I am not participating in today's challenge just reading and enjoying the read-a-thon. 

Read-A-Thon Day 2

Well it is day 2 of the read-a-thon and i did not get as much reading done as i hoped but i already finished and wrote a review for one book so i think i am doing pretty good. :)
At the moment i am at page 67 in Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone. So far its okay, and i am hoping that it gets better.

One of todays challenge is hosted by My Life in Books and the challenge is to pick 3+ characters and put them against each other and then choose who wins.

I decided to pick the Kick-Ass Sidekicks in books.

First up is Roux! Roux is in Also Known As and is Maggies best friend. Her three strengths are 1) she punched a dude in the face, 2) she can hold an impressive amount of alcohol, and 3) She is impressively smart about anything not pertaining to school. Her weaknesses are 1) she doesn't think before she speaks, 2) she can make very stupid deciosns after she has consumed impressive amounts of alcohol, and 3) She has a hard time acting serious.

Second up is....... Ginny Weasley!!!!! her likable qualities 1) She got her famous childhood crush, 2) She can perform an awesome bat-boogey curse, 3) kinda obvious but very helpful, she's a wizard. Now for her not so likable qualities 1) She's stubborn, 2) She can be rude, 3) she would sacrifice he life for Harry.

The third and final contestant is....... Annabeth Chase! Her good qualities: 1) She has read almost every book, 2) she is dangerous with a sword or dagger 3) she can make the best strategies. her not go good qualities: 1) overly self confident, 2) stubborn, 3) hates being wrong.

In the end i think that Roux would end up winning just because elf the fact that she is the badest bad ass of them all.

so thats it!
Adious!

Ask Again Later

Liz Czuaks

Publisher: Harper Teen

Published: March 11, 2014

My copy is a.... Paperback I own.

Goodreads

 Summary: Despite what her name might suggest, Heart has zero interest in complicated romance. So when her brilliant plan to go to prom with a group of friends is disrupted by two surprise invites, Heart knows there's only one drama-free solution: flip a coin. 
Heads: The jock. He might spend all night staring at his ex or throw up in the limo, but how bad can her brother's best friend really be? 
Tails: The theater geek...with a secret. What could be better than a guy who shares all Heart's interests--even if he wants to share all his feelings? 
Heart's simple coin flip has somehow given her the chance to live out both dates. But where her prom night ends up might be the most surprising thing of all... (Via Goodreads)

This book has been on my To-Read list since I read the description back in March. Books with an aspect of fate/ split time lines/ etc. always interest me which is one of the reasons I was super excited for this book; not to mention it sounded hilarious.

1)    Humor: Soooooooooooooo many parts in this book were laugh out loud funny. I was cracking up laughing, not to mention all the jokes I got about the title (ex: “hey what are you reading?” “Ask Again Later” “ Okay, ill ask later.” Aren’t high school boys so creative?). Beside from the bad jokes/puns this book had humor in itself that I absolutely loved. One of my favorite parts was the chapter title, each was a mini description for that chapter and each was hilarious.

2)    Time Split: Splitting time can be hard and it is hard to get right. However one thing I think is needed is for each split to be different enough from the other and for there to be “BOOM! time line splits here” moment. This book was missing both these things. On her date with Ryan X would occur then on her date with Troy X happens in a slightly different way or it is implied X happned on both dates and goes from that point on. I hoped there had been more of a split between the two so that there really was a difference.

3)    Love: The romance in this book was so cute! I can’t say what happens because of spoilers but it is adorable. The fact that it all takes place on prom night makes it even cuter. As far as choosing a prom date I think Ryan sounds waayyyyy better.

Verdict:

4 stars!!!

Defiantly a good hilarious read, perfect for fans of Robin Benway.

Bout Of Books Read-A-Thon!

So while avoiding my math homework by looking at random YA blogs i stumbled upon the Bout Of Books's Read-A-Thon! I think this would be really fun to try and hopefully I'll be able to do it! 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, May 12th and runs through Sunday, May 18th 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.

I decided to set myself two goals:

1)To read five books! this may not sound like a lot but i have school and a math project I'm still avoiding........
2)To write a review for EVERY book i read during the week. I try to do this a lot but i tend to skip books I didn't love...

Hopefully i can do this and if you want to join click here --------->>>>> CLICK ME!!!
