Blog All About It: PINK BOOK COVERS

Yayy! Doing another year of prompts! So fun. 

The second of the year is: PINK

Been batting around ideas for this month's prompt. I'll share some book covers. ;)

Here are some books over the last couple of year that I have read that have pink in the cover.

THIS YEAR

2018

2017

2016



2015





2014


2013




2012





CONCLUSION
Sooo...honestly I do not think I am very drawn in by pink covers. I haven't really read many with covers that are mostly or have a lot of pink on the covers. The majority also seems to be romance novels. Go figure ;)




And just for fun! Here is a painting I did that has "PINK" in it ;)

2013 Conclusion and Wrap-Ups

Happy Sunday everyone! I can't believe that 2013 is nearly done and over with. So crazy. I'm looking forward to 2014. 

Here is my wrap-up up on 2013:

 Book Read & Reviewed: 

51

Movies Watched & Reviewed:

19

Challenges:

Read 50 book - accomplished

Conclusion:

Not too bad. Had a few dry spells throughout the year, but I feel I was more active with posting this year. I know for sure I'll up my reading challenges for the new year, since I know for sure I'm taking Winter semester off (due to lack of money). Spring is still up in the year depending on how much Financial Aid I get next year since I no longer live with my parents. ANYWAYS. It had been a busy year and I'm proud that I was able to not only accomplish my goal, but able to go a wee bit over it. Yipee! 

Tomorrow I shall post my favorites of the year. I think I shall call it the Carole Awards for now on. hahaha. 

Book Title Madlibs Challenge

This year I'm going to be doing something a little different this year. The last two years I did the 'My Life According to Books', but I found a fun little book title madlib from YA Book Lover. Be sure to join, because its super fun!

The Madlib:

A. Place name or type (from a book title) can be a proper name or noun like Italy or mountains
B. Fave Villain (from a book – list title/series)
C. Adjective (from a book title) (hot, cold, dark, etc.)
D. Number (from a book title)
E. Noun (from a book title)
F. Fave Hero/Heroine you wouldn't mind spending a LOT of time with (from a book – list title/series)
G. Object (from a book title)


My Answer: 
Help! I’m being held captive in The Road, by King Claudius from 'Hamlet'!
It is very Scandalous (My Scandalous Viscount) here!
He is demanding 1984 Spring Moons to set me free!
I have just discovered that Faramir from 'The Return of the King'  was captured too!
On second thought, please send Purple Plumerias (Passion of the Purple Plumeria) , and don’t worry if you don’t hear from us for awhile!

Top Ten Tuesday: Books of 2013

~The Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.~

Happy Tuesday everyone. I really didn't have anything I wanted to post today, but then I realized that I haven't done one of these posts in a long, long time. So here I am. Plus, this topic seems a good way to take a brief moment to recall the books I've liked/loved over the year so far. The year is halfway over already! Can you believe that? Well, I've read a total of 21 books. But yes...this week topic is: Best books of the year (so far).

(There is no order to my list)

1. Long Days Journey into Night by Eugene O'Neill. 

2. Clisson and Eugenie by Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte 

3. A Million Little Pieces by James Frey 

4. Innocent Traitor by Alison Weir

5. The Return of the King by JRR Tolkien

6. Werewolves Be Damned by Stacey Kennedy

7. After Dark by Haruki Murakami

8. Coyote Summer by JS Kapchinske

10. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

What are your top ten highlights of the year?

2012 Wrap-Up and Conclusions

Happy 2013. I know I've been absent this holiday season, but there was just so much to do and not enough time to do everything I wanted to do. I wish I could have cloned myself five times, just to do everything I want to do. Oh well... that's life and life is a hormone filled bitch. However, I had a ton a fun, but I did lack in reading and etc. I did watch a few movies though and I plan to write reviews for those someday. haha.

The door for 2012 is shut, but the door for 2013 is swung open. Time to take advantage of that. Good luck to all for the new year!
