Hey, Everybody! I'm back!!!! :D

I've been a bit absent from blogging lately because I've been busy with work, and school, but my online classes are over for a little bit, so I should be posting more regularly now! :)

Hopefully you didn't miss me too much while I've been gone, but you can definitely expect some posts about any of the exciting things I've been up to since I blogged last!!!

In the mean time, I hope you're all well, and if you have any types of posts that you'd like to see on my blog, feel free to suggest some ideas!!! :D 

Happy Reading!

Spring Into Summer Read-a-Thon Updates and Mini-Challenges - Day 2

So, I kinda let myself sleep in a bit today. I read about an hour after my Report post last night before I called it a night, so I didn't get too much reading done last night or this morning, but I some is better than none I guess. :P

#1 ~12:00 PM
Mini-Challenge: If you had bookshelves FULL of all of your favorite books, how would you organize them?

Honestly, I'm terrible at organizing my bookshelves. I have so many that are just too different in size to be next too each other, so I usually just organize them by series and then wherever they fit best. Of course, I also have too many books to fit on my shelves now, so there are some all over my room. :P If it were a perfect type of world and all books were the same height, I'd probably organize them by my favourites, or by my favourite author. I'd still keep them with series though. I might even go crazy and try and organize them by colour. ;)

Mini-Challenge:If you could live in the world of one book, which would it be and why?

Hmmmm, that's a tough one. There are so many books worlds that I find amazing, but also at the same time they';'d be a freaky place to live in. I kind of want to say Inkheart by Corneila Funke, mostly because you could just read yourself into another story if you wanted to. :P But....I think that's a bit of a cop out, so I'm going to say either The Mortal Instruments or The Iron Fey series, any world where Jace or Ash actually exist would be so awesome. I would love to be a Shadowhunter, and I'd love to live in Meghan's world with the fey, but I have a feeling in both worlds it might not turn out the way I wanted it to. :P

Spring Into Summer Read-a-thon Updates and Mini-Challenges - Day 1

I'm going to just make this into one big post now.
I'll separate each update and mini-Challenge with a line. :) 

#1

Mini-Challenge: Tell about your favorite and least favorite movie adaptation of a book.
  • Favorite book-movie adaptation: Hmmmm, that's a tough one. I really enjoyed The Notebook and A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks, the movie versions were amazingly well done. :D I also just recently watched Flipped based off of the book by Wendelen Van Draaen adn I thought it was so well done. :)

  • Least favorite book-movie adaptation: I've had a fair few book to movies that I haven't really liked, or that I was 'meh' about, but I'm not sure about which one I liked the least. I absolutely hated the movie version of Inkheart though, that one was just nothing like I pictured the book at all, and they changed so many little details that I remember just being annoyed pretty much during the whole movie.
