Readathon: Bout of Books: If you like the thrill...

Challenge Four:
If you like this...try this....
Since we all love recommending books, here's your chance to share the love.
Example: If you like paranormal romance with bloodthirsty vikings, try Shelly Laurenston's Call of Crows series.
Make sure you use the hashtag #boutofbooks on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, so we can see your recs.
I'm usually pretty bad with these if you like this than try these recommendations, but I'm going to give it a go.


If you like the thrill of the game and the chase than try....
1. Fire and Flood by Victoria Scott
Salt and Stone by Victoria Scott


What would you do to save someone you love?
Time is slipping away. . . .
Tella Holloway is losing it. Her brother is sick, and when a dozen doctors can't determine what's wrong, her parents decide to move to the middle of nowhere for the fresh air. She's lost her friends, her parents are driving her crazy, her brother is dying--and she's helpless to change anything.
Until she receives mysterious instructions on how to become a Contender in the Brimstone Bleed. It's an epic race across jungle, desert, ocean, and mountain that could win her the prize she desperately desires: the Cure for her brother's illness. But all the Contenders are after the Cure for people they love, and there's no guarantee that Tella (or any of them) will survive the race.
The jungle is terrifying, the clock is ticking, and Tella knows she can't trust the allies she makes. And one big question emerges: Why have so many fallen sick in the first place?

You can tell by the way the shelves bend that there are also books behind the books.


These are the last two shelves of the bookcase

Readathon: Bout of Books: One True Pairing Challenge

Bout of Books

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, August 18th and runs through Sunday, August 24th 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.

"A person's OTP is the couple that they love the most and ship the hardest.  This is regardless of gender and whether or not the couple is actually canon.  In fact, some of the most popular pairings are those that aren't actually together in their story.  Which is beyond frustrating, am I right?  (Drarry!)
For this challenge, I want to hear all about your favorite literary OTP.  Tell me why you ship them.  Tell me how perfect they are for each other.  Vent about how frustrating it is that the author paired them with other people.  Give me proof about why they are actually canon, but nobody knows.  I want to hear it all."

Spoiler Alert:
If you haven't read Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead the last last book in the Vampire Academy series then read the next words



My OTP is Rose and Dimitri
If you've read the series then you know it worked out beautifully, and for that I'm so thrilled. The chemistry between these two from book one was evident. They're both strong-willed and would die for anyone (mainly each other). They would go to earths ends for each other, and even when Dimitri turned strigoi Rose wouldn't give up on him, and I don't think you could find love like this.

Summer Surge Readathon Challenge 2:Twitter Book Recommendation


The challenge consists of you recommending four different books from four different genres, but you can only use 140 characters in which to do so. You can't use plot points, character names, spoilers, snippets of the synopsis and must be in your own words. 

Well here goes nothing! I'm pretty sure these are all somewhat different genres, and I would love it if you could go to the ones that have reviews and leave a comment. :)

Recommendation #1
If I stay by Gayle Forman (Review here)
Recommendation #2
Unbreakable by Kami Garcia

Recommendation #3
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi (review here)

Recommendation #4
The Deep End of the Ocean by Jacquelyn Mitchard 

What are some of your recommendations? Have you read any of these? If so did you enjoy them?Were my recs somewhat true?
