Readathon: Bout of Books 22: The Year of IT

Year of You

Share a book that was published the year you were born. If you don't wish to disclose your age (that's fine; you'll get no judgment either way here), pick a book that was significant to your childhood.

Thanks to Courtney Lynn (@ceelynnreading) for today's challenge!

I was born in 1986

When I went to find a book published in that year I came across a book known to most anybody 

IT by Stephen King

Derry: a small city in Maine, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own home town. Only in Derry the haunting is real...

It began for the Losers on a day in June of 1958, the day school let out for the summer. That was the day Henry Bowers carved the first letter of his name on Ben Hanscom's belly and chased him into the Barrens, the day Henry and his Neanderthal friends beat up on Stuttering Bill Denbrough and Eddie Kaspbrak, the day Stuttering Bill had to save Eddie from his worst asthma attack ever by riding his bike to beat the devil. It ended in August, with seven desperate children in search of a creature of unspeakable evil in the drains beneath Derry. In search of It. And somehow it ended.

Or so they thought. Then.

On a spring night in 1985 Mike Hanlon, once one of those children, makes six calls. Stan Uris, accountant. Richie "Records" Tozier, L.A. disc jockey. Ben Hanscom, renowned architect. Beverly Rogan, dress designer. Eddie Kaspbrak, owner of a successful New York limousine company. And Bill Denbrough, bestselling writer of horror novels, Bill Denbrough who now only stutters in his dreams.

These six men and one woman have forgotten their childhoods,have forgotten the time when they were Losers...but an unremembered promise draws them back, the present begins to rhyme dreadfully with the past, and when the Losers reunite, the wheels of fate lock together and roll them towards the ultimate terror.

In the biggest and most ambitious book of his career, Stephen King gives us not only his most towering epic of horror but a surprising re-illumination of the corridor where we pass from the bright mysteries of childhood to those of maturity. (less)

GOODREADS EDITIONS

I'm not gonna lie. I haven't read this book for a few reasons.

1. It's very intimidating. It's HUGE.

2. I'm not much of a Horror Reader

3. I saw the movie and it scared the crap out of me.

4. It's still INTIMIDATING!

Readathon: Bout of Books Summer 2016: Mix N Match Sentence

Pick out 10-15 books from your shelf, from your local library, or from a local bookstore. They can be any genre, any language, and any length. In each book, flip to a random page and pick the 1st word (articles such as "the", "and", "an", "or", etc. don't count as the 1st word). Use all these 1st words to try to create an actual sentence. If the books are in different languages, feel free to translate them to all one language or leave them as they are! also, you can add in some articles, such as "the", "and", "an", "or", etc., if you want to make the sentence flow better.

Here's my stack of books I took the words from. (Note these are all books I've read this year and need to review)

Came-Blythewood

David- Rebel Belle

Spot-Sin Eaters Daughter

When- Every other day

Work-Beautiful Disaster

Outside- The Heir and the Spare

Her-Stealing Parker

Jane- My Lady Jane

Checking- Four

whatever- Rebel of the sands

Fountain- Hotel Ruby

When David came to work. He spotted her, Jane outside checking the fountain for whatever reason.

You must link four books by using the last word of the previous title to the first word of the next one. To start, pick a book (ANY book; your choice!) and start linking! A, An, and The don't count, so if your book starts with one of those, just use the next word. To make this challenge tougher, you can decide to only use books you've read within the last twelve months - but that's not a requirement.

This was a bit hard I kept finding some awesome ones, but I get never get any farther than 3 books.

Summer Surge Readathon #4: Character Personality

It's time for the third challenge, the Character Personality Challenge. 

All you have to do is choose five different characters from five different books you've read in 2014 that you think reflect a part of your personality. Male or female, adult or child, the choice is yours.

This is my CPC:

1. Claire from 17 First Kisses- She's tomboyish, yet she can be girlie when the time calls for it.

2. Melissa from Rage by Jackie Morse Kessler- emotional

3. Peyton from Sean Griswolds Head- Nerdy, likes basketball. staying away from people because she doesn't think shes good enough.

4. Katniss from The Hunger Games- Not because she's strong and kick-ass, but because the loyalty she has for her family and friends.

Summer Surge Readthon #3: Spine Poetry

Below here are a few pictures I took of it spelled out with the books. I took it from different angles. lol. What can I say I'm a visual person.

I chose swimming because when I was younger that's pretty much all I did all summer long. My grandma had a pool and my cousins and I would always be over her house swimming and eating pizza most days playing goofy games in the pool. We would be mermaids, singers (like the girl version of Backstreets Boys or the Spice girls.) it was fun to be little and have cousins who were around your age.
