Hi Everyone. I just wanted to do a separate post for today’s daily challenge.

The Rules

Use the first letter in any book you’ve read or want to read to spell out a word. You can choose first name, initials, your birthday month, or your zodiac sign.

Take a photo, make a graphic or even a list and share your word on your blog, Facebook, Twitter or Goodreads.

Submit a link to your post in the linky below! You’ll get an extra FIVE entries in the Rafflecopter international giveaway for an eBook of your choice (Amazon or B&N, up to $10 USD) for participating in this challenge. You MUST be participating in Bout of Books 11.0 to be eligible to win the giveaway, but you can always post your answer in the comments just for fun if you aren’t a participant.

Bout of Books/ August 22nd Daily Challenge

Posted on August 22, 2014 by Cindy

I am actually completing a challenge and here it is. I hope you enjoy it.

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 challenge is being hosted by Christian Bookshelf Reviews .

Here is my answer:

White Wedding by Milly Johnson

Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella

(The) Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

Circus of the Damned by Laurell K. Hamilton

I have to admit that this was hard just when I thought I had it I realized I didn’t… this was alot of fun,

Thanks for this awesome fun challenge.

Read-A-Thon/ Bout of Books 11.0 (Goals)

Posted on August 12, 2014August 12, 2014 by Cindy

Next week I plan on taking part in the Bout of Books 11.0 read-a-thon which will be the last one of the year I believe until January.

With any read a thon you really have to set realistic goals because if you make your goals to high and demanding you will fail which I always do because I always forget that real life happens that you have no control over.

Here is a list of books that I am hoping to get through this week:

To break up the reading of books I have a few manga’s I borrowed from the library & that I currently own that I want to read as well and they are:

Summer Wars 1 & 2
Courtney Crumrin – Vol 1 and the night things, Vol 2 The coven of Mystics, Vol 3 The twilight Kingdom, Vol 4 monstrous holiday, Vol 5 the witch next door
Raina Telgemeier’s Drama, Smile & Sisters

With every read a thon there is daily challenges so I am hoping to complete those daily as well as do daily up dates.

I am also setting a goal to comment on 10 new bloggers post daily.

I also want to participate in some twitter chats if the timing is good.

So those are my goals, have I bitten off more then I can chew? Check back next week to find out.
