Debut-A-Thon: Solve That Debut Challenge

It's already the final day. Challenge #4 in a series of four. Unbelievable. The last last challenge is hosted on Amber's blog. It can be found here. Basically you're given a short description of a book and you have to work out which 2013 debut it is. Up for grabs is Bot Wars and Altered. Sounds fun? It is but it's so hard. Spent ages going through Goodreads. Because I'm a part of hosting the mini-challenges, I'm not officially entering but I decided I'd do the challenge anyway since it sounded fun. Highlight to see the answers. Don't cheat though!

1. The Nightmare Affair - Mindee Arnett
2. I couldn't find this one. :(
3. In the After - Demitria Lunetta
4. I couldn't find this one either. :'(
5. Pretty Girl-13 - Liz Coley

Debut-A-Thon: Pair That Debut Challenge

Pair That Debut
Welcome to Challenge #2 in a series of four! Today, I'd like you to share what song the book that your reading reminds you of. Just Pair That Debut for your chance to win:
- Your choice of any YA debut e-book.
- Your choice of any album.
All you have to do is to be signed up to the Debut-A-Thon here. You have 24 hours to complete this quick and easy challenge. Just post your song and book in a post on your blog/Twitter/YouTube/Facebook/Goodreads etc. Drop your link in a comment and that's it, you're entered! Also, please remember I'll be contacting the winner through whatever platform you decide to use. If you have a e-mail on your blog/Goodreads etc. I will probably be contacting you through there. I hope everything makes sense. Feel free to contact me if it doesn't.

 I'm currently reading Ink byAmanda Sun and it reminds me of Fine China by Chris Brown. The lyrics basically express how he isn't dangerous and will treat her like she's fine china. This reminds me of Ink because in the book, Tomo has something that could hurt the protagonist Katie. He tells her that he'll protect her and that he won't be a danger to her.

Tag: Blogging Things I Suck At


Hello everyone. Today's post is about a new tag that I'm creating. I got this idea from YouTube and I thought that I'd absolutely love to bring it the blogging community. Basically, you can tag specific people that you want to do the tag (you can mention them in your post or leave a comment on their blog), tag everyone or do both. I tag EVERYONE to do this tag. I really hope this tag can get around. Share your post, other people's posts, and mine if you like it *wink*, on your Twitters, Facebooks, Google Plus', and Myspace?...  If you do decide to do this (you really should), please link back to this post or my blog. Copy paste the post header or if you want a different size, just ask me. If you think it's ugly (it's meant to reflect the sucky things) then I can make another one for you or you can make your own! So what I'm wondering is, what blogging things do you suck at? It doesn't matter if you're old at it or new at it. After all, blogging is not a competition. Let's just have some fun, share, and be happy when we realise we aren't the only ones. Continue to see what I suck at.

Reviews
So I have this thing where I read a book, plan to do a review and then don't. When I do decide to do one, I post it days or even weeks after I've read the book. When it comes to music reviews, I'm pretty good about it. I usually post the review not long after the song has come out. I really need to balance my reviews out. Determined.
Being Cheap
I know that it probably doesn't sound like something to do with blogging but I seriously have a problem with being cheap. Others are always prepared to dish out and get they're blog designed properly. Being the Asian that I am, I try to do it myself. Then, my blog turns out looking weird. Oh well. I can't really change this one. Maybe one day, when I'm rich and famous (in my dreams). 
Being Colourful
So obviously, I don't like being too colourful. I always like to stay safe but in the end, my blog becomes an attack of brown. It's not just my blog either, I'm like this with my clothes as well. I just like neutrals. I really want to branch out but then again, I like my blog's consistency. I just wish I chose a bigger colour scheme from the start.
Forgetting
I'm not very forgetful overall but when it comes to blogging, oh boy, I'm so bad. I forget about everything. Sometimes, I'll plan to do a particular post and I just forget. By the time I remember it's not relevant anymore. I also forget about my emails all the time. I'll email someone, get a reply and then forget to reply myself. I think I really need to stop being cheap and buy a diary or something.

Trust me, there's heaps more that I suck at but for now, I'll just stop. If there's anything else you think I suck at, please let me know. Constructive criticism is always welcome because I want to improve as much as you want me to change something you hate. I really really really hope you can do this tag. It's one that any blogger can do. Join the fun and leave me links to your post in the comments or tweet me.

Bout of Books 7.0: Wrap Up


In the end...
I reached my goal!
Well technically I didn't have a goal, you can see my post here, but I did want to read 4 books to be proud of myself. I set out 4 books, which I didn't read in the order I planned to read them in, but I'm still super excited that I completed them. In total I read 1339 pages this week, which for me is absolutely amazing. I also wanted to do a few challenges and I did the Create A Cover challenge, which I'm pretty happy with as well. I've had a really good time doing this read-a-thon and I'll definitely make sure I do the next one.

Bout of Books 7.0: Challenge

Yesterday, I really wanted to do a challenge but there wasn't a challenge that appealed to me. Today though, there is a challenge called Create A Cover (hosted by I Talk Books) and as you guessed, I have to remake a cover. I chose the book I'm currently reading which is called Beautiful Disaster. I'm sure you've already heard of it. I wish I was creative enough to draw my own cover but instead I just took a photo. It's obviously a lot worse than the real cover but I tried to manipulate the concept it already had. Mine is on the left. Hope you like it!
