Twitter Party! #WWReadathon (I am MichelleLynn851 on Twitter)
New to this edition, are Twitter Parties! We’re
having two: 1st one is Thursday 4-6PM EST and the 2nd one
Saturday 8-10PM EST. You’ll have a chance to win some prizes on there as well,
so be sure to stop by! (of course we’ll
be there throughout the week too!)
My goal is to read these books: (Updates to come. Look for the Wildfire icon in sidebar, I will link it to this post) I am already reading Rapture, and Deadlocked I had started, but stopped as others needed to be read.
I just received this ebook for ARC review, so bumped it up, reading it now first.
Rapture is finished.

First Challenge: Something Wicked This Way Comes… Hosted
by Kindle Fever
“A Wildfire is quickly coming your way. What thing/s do
you grab when you only have a few minutes to make it out?
(I’ve already saved any people or pets in there already)
My answer:
I would fist grab my precious Kindle Fire loaded with tons
of books, and My Laptop of course. ipod Touch, My external hard-drive (even
more books on it, pics and important stuff) and all are in same area, fast to
grab. Grab the Important File box container(Birth Certificates, ect) Then,
would grab car keys to my classic corvette, and wallet if it’s not still in car
(usually is) I could do most this in less than 5 minutes, (keys are usually in
car too, I live in the wilderness, no people around)

by Ramblings of A Daydreamer I am Passing on, not much patience for puzzle
types, and none are book cover pieces I recognize, too hard for me, rather be reading
lol.
Thursday 4pm
challenge by Melissa’s Eclectic Bookshelf I will be skipping, didn’t have
time, as company arrived, and am not that creative.

This is Ruby beach in Washington state where I live (i live in rain-forest though)

3 in your preferred swimwear (description, or link to image

Ok, so reading a book about Vlad in Night Prince Series, may be weird, as Bones doen't exactly Like Vlad, but he can just get over it, its gonna be a good read!

Not sure if anyone even reads my updates, but here is the last challenge, (I was asleep when most were doing this, but if its too late, then disregard I guess.)
Ths challenge is from My Shelf Confessions
Your a vampire, and can't go into the sun, or you burn up.
You need to grab 3 things in the sun, what are you going to do to protect yourself from the sun? I didn't see anywere that I had to name the 3 items, just what to do to protect myself. Hope I am right on that.
I would get a heavy leather trench coat on with hood, AND cover myself with a thick blanket, AND a huge umbrella for extra protection. Plus use my vampire speed, should be able to get it done quick. OR compel someone to do it for me, like in True Blood.
I am not sure if i am supposed to mention the 3 items, but here they are just in case
1. My kindle fire
2. My laptop
3. my car (keys to car) (this is assuming pets and people are safe already)

Awesome picks for the read-a-thon. I love your drink and make a variation of it. We use 1/2 gallon of orange sherbet, one can of frozen OJ, 1 2 ltr bottle of 7-up, fill oj can with vodka, add to punch bowl, stir and serve.
ReplyDeletethat sounds good too, will try that variation too. Nice. :)
DeleteI didn't have time to read or do any challenge yesterday :( But you did great, good luck!
ReplyDeleteYou picked a lot of great books for the read-a-thon! I wish I could read faster so I could get through more books. Thanks so much for visiting and following my blog...I'm following you back! Great to meet you. :-)
ReplyDeleteHello! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love the covers on the Covenant books, I will have to check those out! I also love 7 up and Sherbert punch and have done that myself a lot, even just making a float for myself. I like rainbow sherbert, hard to pick just one flavor! Enjoy the read-a-thon! You've got some great looking reads picked out!
