BOOK TOWER CHALLENGE 2.0!

Hey guys!

So, recently I have been checking my stats page for my blog daily, and my most viewed post BY FAR may I add, is my Book Tower Challenge!

So today, I thought it would be fun but do it AGAIN to see what new books I can add!


Rules:

To play you set a timer to 1 minute and 30 seconds to find all the books on the list below. Then you set it again to 1 minute and 30 seconds to put the books in alphabetical order! Lastly count all the books you put in order and that is your final score!

Week of Readathons (Bout of Books 13.0, RYBSAT and Crush Your TBR) #4

Hi everyone!

I cannot believe that for the 4th time in a row, 2 or more readathons have fallen around the same time!

In these next 2 weeks, I will be participating in the Bout of Books 13.0 Readathon and the Crush Your TBR Readathon!

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, May 11th and runs through Sunday, May 17th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 13 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team

The second readathon is the read-your-bookshelf-athon! It starts on the May 18-25! Basically, you pick a point on your bookshelf and continue reading from that point on!

The Crush Your TBR Readathon is from May 15-17, and is hosted Raeleen from PadfootandProngs07.


Now for the TBR!


This may be a pretty ambitous TBR, but for 2 weeks I’ll try to make it happen!

As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she’s been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the late post!

Today, Galgorithm by Aaron Karo comes out!

Synopsis:

A romantic comedy about high school, heartbreak, and having all the answers.

What if the secrets of dating and love were revealed in one simple formula? That’s the tantalizing proposition high school senior Shane Chambliss offers the hopeless and hapless guys who come to him for relationship advice.

After the girl of his dreams breaks his heart, Shane devises a mysterious formula called the Galgorithm and establishes himself as the resident dating guru at Kingsview High School. But his attempts to master the art of romance go outrageously awry.

As Shane tries to navigate the ensuing drama, he must follow his heart, abandon all the rules, and ignore his own advice in a quest for true love. What he discovers, no formula could ever predict…

Make sure to pick up this book, and come back soon for my book review!
