3. Join the Twitter Chat ✓ (t'was so awesome)
4. Join at least 1 challenge ✓ (t'was so much fun!!)

This week has been filled with multiple accomplishments from me and other bloggers as well. It was a fabulously productive week! I've met some great bloggers and book lovers! 

I'm so glad I joined this!

Anyways....
Here are the books that I've read in the past week!

Something Borrowed Review

I did not write a review for The Lord of Rings: The Two Towers because I recently decided not to review classics. 

 Thanks for hosting this boutofbooks!

Bout of Books: The Page 48 Challenge

• Turn to page 48 of your current book, or 48% if you're using an e-reader.
• Take the first complete sentence on that page and copy it.
• Now you're going to continue the story! Ignoring the real plot or anything else you know about that book, add four new sentences of your very own. You can morph the plot completely, kill everybody off or go off on a huge tangent - anything goes!

This is going to be fun!

Here is my sentence

Goodreads

 page 48

"We are days away from the official start of summer and all Darcy can talk about is the Hampton's."

My Story

We are days away from the official start of summer and all Darcy can talk about is the Hampton's. Hampton's this! Hampton's that! I am seriously tired of this Hampton's talk. I take my rifle, walk into the living room where Darcy is scolding the help. I quickly position my gun between her eyes and pull the trigger. The help gasped then run off into the kitchen. I kneel next to her dead body and say "damn it Darce!" and took a deep breath as I take the pixie dust bag in my pocket and begin the healing spell.

Well, that was fun! xD
I love this challenge!

Bout of Books 6.0: Goals & Updates

It's my first time joining a read-a-thon!! I didn't think I would make it in time to sign up and post up my goals! 

In case ya'll are curious, here is the blurb.

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, January 7th and runs through Sunday, January 13th 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. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional.
