Mini Challenge #1 (Cover2CoverBlog)

1. Which book you are most excited to read in the coming year? It can be already released or coming soon.  There are so many books that I can not wait to read but the ones that I’m most excited for are Allegiant by Veronica Roth, Fifth Grave Past the Light by Darynda Jones and Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout.

2. Which book would you re-read if you had the time and weren’t so busy reading ALL of the other good things? Hopefully, I will get to re-read Divergent and Insurgent before the release of Allegiant this fall *fingers crossed*  

3. and lastly, If you could meet any fictional character who would it be and why? I would love to meet Daemon from Jennifer L. Armentrout’s Lux series, because he’s hot and kind of has the bad boy smart ass attitude going on (I’m a sucker for bad boys) and did I mention he’s HOT?  Oh, and obviously he has a thing for book bloggers ;)

Mini Challenge #3 ( Better Read than Dead)

 

You’re in a bookstore and you’ve just purchased 5 books you’ve been dying to read, when the apocalypse hits.  You’ve got one chance at survival, what 2 books do you take and what 3 other items do you take? This is a tough question; it’s so hard to choose only 2 books to bring.  I guess I would pick one of the Charley Davidson books by Darynda Jones because Charley always cheers me up and Divergent by Veronica Roth because Tris is badass and doesn’t let anyone or anything hold her back.  As far as the 3 items I would choose, baby formula would be number one because my two month olds screaming would attract a lot of attention if I didn’t feed her, a backpack full of food and water and I’m going to be optimistic and assume there is a katana lying around that I could take (yes, I’m totally pretending that I could be as lethal as Michone.  Now where can I find some zombie pets?)   

 Mini Challenge #4 (IB Book Blogging)

 

 

Make your dream guy using characteristics, personalities, looks, and anything else you can think of from your favorite book boyfriends.  The characteristics that I would choose from my book boyfriend to make the perfect dream guy would be: Dimitri’s hot body (Vampire Academy Series), Bones’ protectiveness (Night Huntress Series), Daemon’s cockiness (Lux Series), and Tod’s witty personality (Soul Screamer series) 



 

 

Mini Challenge # 5 (Rainy Day Ramblings)

Solved the puzzles :D

 

 Mini Challenge # 6 (Dizneeee's World of Books)

Tell me your favorite genre, favorite book within that genre, and your favorite character from the same genre.

·         *Favorite Genre: YA Contemporary

*Favorite Book: Ok, this was a really tough question because I’m very indecisive when it comes to favorites so I think I might cheat a name a few before I have a panic attack trying to narrow my list down to one.

o   My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick

o   Wild Cards by Simone Elkeles

o   Something Like Normal & Where the Stars Still Shine by Trish Doller

o   Golden by Jessi Kirby

* Favorite Character: Augustus Walters from The Fault in Our Stars by John Green because he is funny, strong and he doesn’t let the fact that he has Cancer keep him from enjoying his life.
