Challenges

There are two challenges for the readathon today, click read more to see my responses to them!

Challenge #1: Book Buying Spree!

The first challenge is being held by bookishcomforts and the task is to fill up your cart on Book Depository until you have around $100 worth of books, and to show what books you would get if you actually had that much money to spend. Here are the 8 books I picked!

Challenge #2: Mad Libs!

The challenge is to complete the list of words needed for a mad lib using words from the titles of books. Here is the words needed and what I chose;

character name – Scarlette by Davonna Juroe
adjective1 – Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard
adjective2 – False Memory by Dan Krokos
item – Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
occupation –  The Assassin and the Desert by Sarah J. Maas
act of violence – Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
adjective3 – The Unfailing Light by Robin Bridges
noun1 – The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
noun2 – The Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maugham

Now to put these words into the story...

I just read the greatest book!

This guy Scarlette ends up in the middle of a/an strange conspiracy. Turns out his/her ancestors were pirates, and he/she might be the key to finding the false crown. It’s a mythic artifact that disappeared centuries ago, and now a shadowy group of assassinss are looking for it. No one knows what uncovering it might do, but these guys are willing to siege for it.

I won’t say anything else. But believe me, if you like unfailing stories with time machines and veils, you have to read this one.
