Finale Book Challenge Update and Blog-a-Thon

What Happened To Goodbye by Sarah Dessen (100/100)

"After the scandal of her mother's affair, Mclean and her dad chose life on the road. But since losing her family and home, Mclean has lost herself too; she's been Eliza, then Lizbeth, then Beth- changing her name as often as she changes towns. 
Until now. Her neighbour, Dave, is like no one she's met before. It's as if she's always known him and just like that, she becomes Mclean again. Is it finally time to stop reinventing? Or will Mclean turn her back on the new life she loves, without even saying goodbye."
My Rating: 7/10
My Comment: What a good way to end my book challenge. I loved this story! It felt light-hearted and free.


2014 Book Challenge?

I thought about it these past two months and I decided to do a book challenge again this coming year. BUT its going to be a little bit different. What with me buying WAAYY too many books this year and my kindle breaking as well I decided to challenge myself not to read a new book in 2014. This includes buying from the bookstore and borrowing from my friends or library. I will only be allowed to read Manga and my old books. I will still be doing reviews from old books that I haven't mentioned on the blog, but I will also be doing more discussion types of blogs, to make it seem more like a book club.

Blog-a-Thon

To make up for my absence these past couple of weeks, I will be posting 5 blog posts on New Years Eve. They will be posted an hour apart from each other. The posts will be:
19:30- Top 10 books of 2013
20:30- Top 10 series of 2013
21:30- Top 10 Movies of 2013
22:20- Top 10 songs of 2013
23:30- New Years Resolutions

I hope you have a fantastic 2014 ahead of you

Love,
Heather
