Feelings/Updates; Wow, what the hell happened today!!! I have no clue!! I have had a busy day too, a busy morning with the kids and then this afternoon i had an hospital appointment where i was in there for 1hr30mins-the drive is around 30mins each way and since i am the passenger i got to do quite a bit of reading. This evening i have read and read and read. It just proves what having a clear mind AND reading a good book can do to you. The other book i am reading, no way could i have read do much. Infact i am putting it to the side for now but i will finish it. I am so chuffed with myself :) and i entered all 3 challenges, woohoo! I haven't being active on twitter (so sorry) and not being on any blogs (sorry) but i def play catch up tomorrow :) Can't do everything!
Challenges.
***The first challenge of the day was hosted by 'Reading in Winter' and is titled 'A Book for Every Season'. To name books for each season- could be to do with cover, title, setting in the book or just something about reading that book during that time etc.
Here are mine;
(This season is the start back to school after the summer holidays and start of the new school year, makes me think of Harry Potter starting back at Hogwarts).
Winter-The Gift by Cecelia Ahern- Set in winter, christmas time, snow on ground etc
SPRING-A Spring Affair by Milly Johnson- Namesake in title, set in spring
SUMMER-That Summer by Sarah Dessen- Namesake in title, love the author.
Winter-The Gift by Cecelia Ahern- Set in winter, christmas time, snow on ground etc
SPRING-A Spring Affair by Milly Johnson- Namesake in title, set in spring
SUMMER-That Summer by Sarah Dessen- Namesake in title, love the author.
*** The second challenge was hosted by BookSmartie and was called the CandyChallenge. This was to show/name what you snacked on while reading, and whether the book influenced your snacks.
Mine;
I snack on whatever i fancy at the time or what is in my cupboards etc but there are some firm favourites-
DRINKS- Hot chocolate, coffee.
SNACKS-Chocolate (any type!) and popcorn
***The third challenge was hosted by Books with Cass and is a contemporary challenge about favourites, i loved this but was bit unsure when i had 2 out of 3 same favs as the host....total conscience. I tried to change my favs but i couldn't because they are my favs too.
Fav Contemporary= Pushing the Limits.
Fav Cover= My Life Next Door
Fav Surprise Contemporary= Saving June
Wow. What a Day!!!
Loved all the Challenges =D
Hello again! Sorry, you'll have a sudden spate of comments from me - I've hardly been hitting blogs or Twitter either, so I'm catching up with my favourite ladies today!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those days when your brain's fully functioning, your mind's clear, your book's great and the pages just fly by. Harry Potter's such a great idea as an autumn read! I don't know why, but I always think of them either as a comforting winter read, or as a summer read (probably because I read most of the books on one holiday or another). Also, OMG THAT HOT CHOCOLATE LOOKS SO DELICIOUS! :D
Aww i am one of your favourite ladies hehe :) xx Hey i love comments so don't worry, they make me smile! BUT i am only just catching up with comments since i have being super busy since the back to back readathons and summer holidays with the kids. I know have more 'me-time' so i can focus on my blog a little more :) yay!
DeleteDidn't mean to get you drooling over the hot choc haha, but hey your posts during the readathon make me hungry with your menu updates hehe x
What a productive day! I am looking forward to the weekend and uninterrupted reading time.
ReplyDeletethanks hun :) xx
DeleteIt looks like you had a good day! Pushing the Limits is by far my favorite contemporary. It was oh so good. I hopey you enjoy the rest of the readathon!
