Truth Or Dare (11/22)

Truth or Dare is a weekly meme invented by Jenna Does Books. Each week she gives you the choice between a Truth or a Dare. You are allowed to do both, but this week I've chose to do only one!

TRUTH: Have you ever done anything book-related that you’re ashamed of?

DARE: Take photos of you with your current read – turn to page 22 and share an excerpt!

So this is the only semi-good picture I was able to take. I mostly read e-books and apparently my iPad mini doesn't allow for very clear pictures. The book is called Inferno and it's the fourth part in The Chronicles of Nick by Sherrilyn Kenyon.

"Nick blinked as he realized Grim was talking to him. He chose to ignore the snickers and snide comments from the peanut gallery who were so easily amused, as most mindless creatures were, by his lack of attention. 'Excuse me?'"
- p. 22, Inferno, Sherrilyn Kenyon

Waiting On Wednesday: The Promise of Amazing by Robin Constantine

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.

Wren Caswell is average. Ranked in the middle of her class at Sacred Heart, she’s not popular, but not a social misfit. Wren is the quiet, “good” girl who's always done what she's supposed to—only now in her junior year, this passive strategy is backfiring. She wants to change, but doesn’t know how.

Grayson Barrett was the king of St. Gabe’s. Star of the lacrosse team, top of his class, on a fast track to a brilliant future—until he was expelled for being a “term paper pimp.” Now Gray is in a downward spiral and needs to change, but doesn’t know how.

One fateful night their paths cross when Wren, working at her family’s Arthurian-themed catering hall, performs the Heimlich on Gray as he chokes on a cocktail weenie, saving his life literally and figuratively. What follows is the complicated, awkward, hilarious, and tender tale of two teens shedding their pasts, figuring out who they are—and falling in love.

Publication Date: December 31st (Excellent present for New Year)

Truth or Dare (11/15)

Truth or Dare is a weekly meme invented by Jenna Does Books. Each week she gives you the choice between (obvious) a Truth or a Dare. You are allowed to do both, for the brave.

TRUTH: What are the top 3 worst things about being a blogger?

1. The lack of time. That's what has happened the first time. I was  doing so many things at once and it got all too much. The blog took up a bit too much time, when I needed to study. Moderation is key apparently.
2. This relates to the first. Keeping up with all the books. It seems there are at least 3 books a day released that I want to read. My TBR list is on endless mode! So sometimes I just want to read and say "read this" or "don't even dare to start that", without having to go all in detail of why. Making choices between all those books is harder than I thought.
3. Being different than the rest out there. Everyone is unique and all that, but getting noticed online and not being just another book blog, this might even be the hardest part.

So that was my truth. Maybe not really the worst things about being a blogger, than rather the hardest parts. They're definitely first world problems, I get that. Just sometimes when you have something to say, say it :)

DARE: Vlog! SING the summary/description of your favourite book.

Still can't believe I did this, but here it is; me singing the summary of Breaking Brandon by Elizabeth Reyes. Little warning, I have little to no musical talent, so it's kind of off-key.

I love to know what you guys think and if you want to do this dare with me, definitely put the links to your video or post in the comments!
