Radical Read-Along: Day 5 Discussion

So it's the last day with the last chapters and I'm so sad! I had a wonderful experience with this Read-Along and I'm glad I could discuss with all you lovely people.

In the last few chapters of Unearthly, lot’s of bombshells were dropped. I really liked it when Clara decided to go save Tucker first. I was having a major swoon moment because I’m Team Tucker for life. About a page or two before it actually happened, I realised that Christian was an angel too. I had a face palm moment because I have no idea how I didn't notice earlier! Then when they came and Clara’s like “Show yourself!” and I’m just like OMG IT'S TRUE! Know, I just need to know what happens between them. I swear, it's such a coincidence that so many angels live in the one place. I actually really liked how it all ended. I kind of don’t want to read the next book because I liked it so much. The problem is that there’s so many mysteries left unsolved. I only like the ending because she’s with Tucker and I don’t want that to change. I might go find spoilers to make sure she ends up with Tucker before I read the next book.

Today, for the final challenge, head on over to Rather Be Reading YA for the Review challenge. All you have to do is write a review and you have a chance (a big chance) to win your very own e-copy of Hallowed. My review will be going up as soon as possible. Hopefully tomorrow! Also, I've extended the time for the Cover Remake & Dream Cast challenges which means you still have time to enter them!

Radical Read-Along: Day 4 Discussion

So close to the end now. Today is the last day of reading! Yesterday I read Chapter 14-18 and today will be for 19-22 and then we're done! OMG! Tomorrow, I'll be posting both the Day 5 Discussion the the final review.

These five chapters were probably my absolute favourite so far. I have yet to see the last four but I'm hoping it has a nice ending. I've made it pretty clear that I am Team Tucker for life so of course I adored yesterday's chapters. So much happened between them. First, they started getting closer because of her birthday. Then when they kissed I was like OMG SWOOON. I swear it was so so cute that I couldn't take it. But then, it ended because she went into glory mode and I was so sad. But then, she told him and it was all okay again. It was so sweet how Tucker took it. It was all going well until Christian called and then like what the hell, Clara's mum tells her to break it off with Tucker?! AND THEN they actually break up?! I was super extremely devastated. I mean I know all good things must come to an end, but why?! Also, Angela came back and started talking about the Black Wings and all. There's something definitely really fishy going on with her. In these chapters, my favourite quote/scene was:
"Is it okay to kiss you?" he asks.
"What?"
"I won't get struck by lightning?"
I laugh. Then lean in to brush my lips against his. His hands on my waist tighten.
"No lightning," I say

Today's challenge should be hosted on Paperback Princess. Honestly though, I'm not sure. Angelica hasn't replied to my email and she hasn't been participating in the discussion so I really don't think she'll be hosting it. Check out her blog and check for it anyway. If not, just for fun, you can do the Acrostic Poem challenge. That was what she was going to host if she didn't.

Also, please vote for which comment system you like best! The poll can be found in the sidebar.

Radical Read-Along: Day 3 Discussion

It's getting closer and closer to the end! Yesterday Chapters 10, 11, 12 and 13 were read and today I'm here with the discussion post. Remember to read chapters 14-18 today!

Chapter 10 starts off with Wendy and Clara making up. I don't know, I just really think that deep down she's some evil ass. She's probably actually really nice, she just seem TOO nice to me. When Kay broke up with Christian I was laughing so hard because Kay took it so badly. How she rubbed up against Jeffrey and Clara's just like "Wow. Original. Now get off my brother, please." I almost felt bad for Kay, ALMOST. At the end of this chapter, she has another flying lesson. I wonder if she'll ever get there. I felt so bad for her though *frowns*. Then after that, when Clara, Angela, Wendy and Clara's mum were shopping and they bumped into the Black Wing. I was so worried about what was going to happen to them! When Clara built up her courage and asked Christian to prom, I was really proud of her. Except, I don't want her to be Christian! I want her to be with Tucker! Waaaahh. I was kind of glad when Tucker drove her home but I feel like he could have tried harder to win her heart. During the prom, Clara also mentioned going hiking. Maybe it's a connection to forest fire in her visions? Then Clara and Christian started hanging out more and I mean I'm not against them or anything I just really wish Tucker would try harder. It was nice how she finally learned to fly though. I was so proud of her!

Today's challenge can be found on  Oops! I Read A Book Again where all you have to do is let Dianne know which team your on for your chance to win an e-copy of Hallowed, the second book in the series. I think it's pretty safe to say, and pretty obvious that I'm 100% Team Tucker!

Radical Read-Along: Day 2 Discussion

After reading up to Chapter 9, I'm just loving the book more and more. Today is Day 3 which means that here is my discussion for what I read on Day 2! Today the Chapters 10-13 will be read! Remember to not read this if you haven't read Unearthly yet.

Chapter 5 started with the roots of the Romance. It's funny to see how big of a crush Clara has on Christian even though he's her purpose. What is that all about anyway? I'm so curious to see what her actual purpose will be! I mean, it can't really be for her to become his girlfriend. I've been loving Clara's mum and brother as well. Her mum is like the coolest person ever! And even though it'll probably turn out bad, I like to see Clara's brother rebelling. In these chapters, we also found out all the stuff about Angela. I just knew that there was something going on! It wasn't too big of a surprise though and I think that there's more bombshells to be dropped. One of the funniest scenes was when she was horse riding and how she whispered in Angelic to the horse. Like OMG I wish I could speak every language including Angelic. I don't know who most people would prefer but I'm routing for Tucker against Christian. I just, I don't know, I like Tucker better. At the end of Chapter 9, there's that big show down between Wendy and Clara. I don't know how I feel about it because even though Clara was being kind of mean for hanging out with Angela so much, I still don't really care how Wendy feels. Wendy just doesn't seem right to me. Nek minnit I'm completely wrong and she's actually really good but oh well.

Okay well that was a long paragraph! Phew! Don't forget to link up your discussion posts as well because those five chapters were definitely jam packed with story. Also, today, don't forget to head on over to Downright Dystopian for the Dream Cast challenge.

Radical Read-Along: Day 1 Discussion

Hey guys! Yay for the first discussion post. So yesterday, to kick start the Unearthly Radical Read-Along, I read 4 chapters. So today, along with everyone else, I'll be discussing! Today will be for Chapters 5-9. Of course, this post will be comprised of spoilers.

As soon as I started reading, I knew I would love it. I love the subtle way that Cynthia Hand introduced the world. I love the concept and how even though Clara is an angel, she still has the normal teenage girl characteristics. Does anyone else think the chapter names are awesome? I always like it when the chapters are more than just 'Chapter One'. I can't wait to get deeper into the story because right now, there are so many characters being introduced. I've labeled Kay the jealous b*tch, Angela the 'weird but going to be a big part of the story girl' and Christian the main guy of course. Then there's Wendy and I don't know how to feel about her. I just feel like there's something fishy about her but I could be wrong. The back in time flashback thing in Chapter 4 was a really cool way to give background to the story. My favourite quote/scene was:
“And when was this?”
“It was April,” she said. “1906.”
 I felt like I was going to throw up. “That would make you what, a hundred and ten?”
“A hundred and sixteen, this year.”
I just though of Twilight and cracked up so much! Haha, okay, now it's your turn to tell me what you though of the first four chapters.

But before that, today I'm hosting a challenge where you could win your own e-copy of Hallowed, the next in the series! All you have to do is remake the cover of Unearthly. It doesn't have to be anything special, just something simple is fine. After all, it's just for fun! You can add it to your discussion post or you can make a separate one if you'd like.

Discussion: Song Vs. Artist

A different kind of post today. I'll try to keep it short, simple and straight to the point. As the title says, today, I'd like to discuss song vs. artist. If you love a particular artist, will that affect your opinion of the song? If you hate a particular artist, would you be less inclined to listen to it? With all the media, celebrity artist can easily get into scandals. They could tweet or post something on Facebook that you completely disagree with. Artists might post things that you think is funny or something you can relate to. What I'm wondering though is, do you let this affect your opinion? I wish I could say that I judge songs solely on the songs. I'd be lying if I said that though. I have to admit that if a band has a cute member or someone I think has a fun online personality, I'd be more bias towards their song. It goes the other way around too. If I don't like a particular artist, I'd enjoy their song less. The song itself definitely impacts what I think about it, so I guess the real question is: Do you let who the artist is change your opinion of the song? Song vs. artist? I'm artist.
