Chills and Thrills Readathon Spell-It-Out Challenge!



Spell-It-Out Challenge!
This challenge is hosted by APerfectionCalledBooks who is also one of the hosts for this readathon!

The Challenge: pick one of the following words: Ghost, Witch, Zombie, Howl or choose your own spooky word and using each letter, find a title of a book you've read this year to "spell-it-out".

Considering the fact that I had no "e" or "r" titles, this was kinda hard. But I prevailed, and after much googleing (don't judge me), I found a word! Huzzah! 

Gone by Michael Grant
Hunger by Michael Grant
Origins by Kristen Middleton
Under the Skin by Michel Faber
Luxe, The by Anna Godbersen
Infinite Sea, The by Rick Yancey
Say Her Name by James Dawson
Hours on the Moon, 172 by Johan Harstad

Done! That's all for now :).

Toodles!

Chills and Thrills Readathon Teaser Challenge!


Teaser Challenge!
The Teaser Challenge is hosted by EndlesslyReading. Thank you so much for hosting this! :)

The Challenge: Randomly open the book you are currently reading and post 2 sentences from the read, adding 3 spooky/Halloween words of your choosing into the teaser!

I am currently reading:

8488204

Here is my teaser (from the short story: Naming of Parts by Tim Lebbon):

His father fired the shotgun and one of the rotting dead people hit the glistening road. It - Jack could not even discern its sex - squirmed and slithered, unable to regain its deformed feet.


There you go! I'll be back later :).

Toodles!

Chills and Thrills Readathon TBR!


TBR Time!
The TBR Challenge is hosted by BecomingBooks. Thank you! :)

These are the books I am planning to read by Halloween. I am prepared to be absolutely terrified! (Hides under bed) (Realizes there is no space under her bed...YAY! Somewhere mosters CAN'T hide!)

I started this yesterday (before I decided to join the Readathon) and OMG I am absolutely terrified of my own bathroom now...
12860573
I hear this is supposed to be really creepy. Can't wait! (Not sure if sarcasm...)
23439854
Girl kidnaps hitchhikers? And apparently does creepy things with them...
8488204
A bunch of short stories about zombies! I love zombies <3.

And there you have it! I hope to finish all of these during the readathon. If I somehow have time for more books, I'll dig through my TBR pile and see what I find.

Toodles!

I'm Back? + Reading Cram 2.0: Chills and Thrills Readathon! Sign Up Post

Hello!
I know, I know, I'm terribly inconsistent when it comes to doing the whole "blog" thing.
But I'm back to try again!
Why am I back? Because it's Readathon time!

Reading Cram 2.0: Chills and Thrills Readathon!
Hosted by:

This will be my first ever Readathon! Yay! I absolutely love Halloween; although I'm a complete wimp when it comes to scary stuff...
Let me explain:
  • Zombies: No problem! Love them!
  • Mass murdering psychopaths? No problem! Although I wouldn't watch a movie like "Chainsaw Massacre" or "Saw" alone.
  • Werewolves/Vampires/Witches: Again, no problem!
  • Ghosts/Anything to do with hauntings: OMFG I can't go to the bathroom by myself for days (I wish I was exaggerating)!
  • Psychological Thriller type stuff: See above.
So yeah... This ought to be interesting.

This readathon runs from today (24.10.2014) to Halloween (31.10.2014), and we pretty much have to read as many books as we can/want within the following categories:
  • Paranormal
  • Witches
  • Zombies
  • Vampires
  • Werewolves
  • Thriller
  • Mystery
  • Pretty much anything creepy...
There will also be daily challenges which I hope to take part in!

That's all for now :)

Toodles!
