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

It's time for the third challenge, the Spine Poetry Challenge. 

This is my Spine Poetry Challenge:

It's a bit late, but I've been in the process of moving so the internet has been down.

Everything I was,

Forever,

Gone,

Linger,

in the City of Lost Souls

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)

If you like sad but heartwarming tales of hope and survival and the choice between living and dying then If I stay is for you.

Recommendation #2

Unbreakable by Kami Garcia

Fans of Supernatural will love this story of family legacies being passed down to children and two brothers like sam and dean!

Recommendation #3

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi (review here)

Tahereh Mafi has a beautiful way with words, and the uniqueness with which shatter me was written is breathtaking

The Deep End of the Ocean by Jacquelyn Mitchard

Readthon: Summer Surge Challenge 1: Spell it out

Hosted by Book Badger

So here is my spell it out challenge.

 

Something strange and deadly by Susan Dennard (Read)

Wings of the wicked by Courtney A. Moulton

Illuminate by Aimee Agresti

Magnolia league by Katie Crouch

Mephisto Covenant: Redemption of Ajax y Trinity Fagan

I become Shadow by Joe Shine (read)

Nameless by Lili St.Crow

Girl of nightmares by Kendare Blake (read)

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.
