Currently Reading: Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta
Other Comments: So I ended up making the dive into this book a little after 2pm. I got really into it, and the dark aspects of the book intrigue me as well as the mystery clouding the pages. I find myself flipping pages as quickly as I can! What a fast-paced and interesting book.
There were also two challenges for today. I did my best to complete both of them. The first challenge was hosted by The Book Monsters and it was Book Scavenger Hunt. The hunt as filled out by me is down below...
1. A Book that begins with “B” (for Bout of Books!)
2. A book that has been made into a movie/tv show
3. A series you love
4. An anthology of poems or short stories
5. A book on your TBR shelf, or your full TBR shelves
And I found...
1. For "B" title, I found "Belly Up" by Stuart Gibbs
2. For a Book made into a Movie, I found "Eragon" by Christopher Paolini"
3. For a series I love, I found the first book in "The Seven Realms" series by Cinda Williams Chima
4. For an anthology of short novels, I found "The Works Of Stevenson" by Robert Louis Stevenson (obviously, I would hope)
5. For a Book on my TBR shelf, I found "The Diviners" by Libba Bray
And, for the second challenge, it is hosted by LuloFanGirl and it is to make a playlist centering around one of the books you plan to read, with at least five songs. I'm planning on doing this one later today, as I don't have my books planned out, and I haven't quite started reading yet!
Until tomorrow!
I hope you enjoy Jellicoe Road! I remember it was a bit slow at the beginning but by the end I absolutely loved it!

Thanks! I guess I didn't end up doing the second challenge after all, because that one was a bit harder for me... but oh well. And I see you did the OTP challenge for today! Good luck to you as well! Happy reading during this week.

ReplyDeleteKyra @ Bout of Books Updates!
I am so far! And thanks so much! I hope your reading for this week goes well!
DeleteJellicoe Road is supposed to be amazing. I've got it recommended to me so many times I've lost count. Those dark aspects of the book make me worried... is it a book that will make me cry?
ReplyDeleteI just got Eragon from the library! Here's hoping it's good.
Good luck with the rest of your reading (:
I've almost finished with it! I'm really loving it so far! It is much darker than I was expecting from the book, but not in a bad way. It's really true to life.
DeleteI hope you enjoy Eragon! Fantasy is my favorite genre.
Same goes to you! Thanks for stopping by!
