Read a Thon - Conclusion

Well.. I am just not lucky when I enter things like this. I end up making plans and work.
So I didn´t get that much reading done. But I had a good time anyway :)

All in all I read:



Listened to a little over 60% of the Perfect Chemistry audiobook.
Story written by Simone Elkeles.




Read about 265 pages of Rogue, the second book in the Shifters series.
The serie written by Rachel Vincent.

My plan was actually to go to bed early today. But Rogue is just so good, I can´t put it away. So I will probably continue to read a little more. Before going to bed. Maybe everything, If I can´t put it down xD haha Missing a little more then 170 pages :) Wish me good luck :P


What did you get to read? Did you manage to fit your goals?
Or did you do all kind of other stuff, like me :P haha

Curious: Awake at Dawn

Awake at Dawn by C.C Hunter

Now that she’s settled in at Shadow Falls Camp, Kylie Galen’s determined to discover the extent of her supernatural abilities. But with a ghost insisting someone Kylie loves is about die, a rogue vampire on a murdering rampage, and her sixth sense telling her someone is watching her, Kylie’s quest for answers is quickly put on hold.

To make matters worse, just when she’s about to give her heart to Derek, a half-fairy, he starts pulling away. When Lucas, a werewolf with whom Kylie shares a secret past, returns, Kylie’s feels more conflicted than ever. Her weekend with her mom should have been the just the break Kylie needs, but it turns out to be her breaking point. Someone from the dark side of the supernatural world has plans for Kylie—and it'll take all her resources to get back to Shadow Falls alive...

This must be my number 1 book on my wishlist right now :O
Just finished the first book Born at Midnight, and it blew me away :) I absolutly loved it and so need to read what will happen next :) So I can hardly wait till October when this amazing sequel will be released.

Have you read the first one? Or what about this one? (Don´t know if there are any ARC´s out there already). If there are. God I wish I had one :D But that´s enough dreaming from me. :P What did you think?? :)

Review: Oh, my Gods by Tera Lynn Childs

Oh, my Gods by Tera Lynn Childs

The Book:
This is the first book in a series of only two books, called by the same name Oh, my Gods, written by Tera Lynn Childs. She is also know for the popular mermaid book Forgive my fins.
Second and last book in this series is called Goddess Boot Camp.
First book was released in 2008, and second book in 2009.
Both books are based on the Greek mythology. Written in a chick litt. related way :)

ISBN13: 9780525479420
224 pages

Read: June 2011
Language: English

Summary: (From Goodreads)
A modern girl´s comedic odyssey in a school filled with the descendants of Greek gods.

When Phoebe´s mom returns from Greece with a new husband and moves them to an island in the Aegean, Phoebe´s plans for her senior year and track season are ancient history. Now she must attend the uberexclusive academy, where admission depends on pedigree, namely, ancestry from Zeus, Hera, and other Greek gods. That´s right, they´re real, not myth, and their teen descendants are like the classical heroes´supersmart and superbeautiful with a few superpowers. And now they´re on her track team! Armed only with her Nikes and the will to win, Phoebe races to find her place among the gods.

The Story:
It´s about a young teenage girl called Phoebe who always dreamed about going to the same University as her two best friends. And joining the running competitions.
She love running and enjoy every minuet of it. She is on her way to win a scholar ship, when her mom bursts out with a secret.
She just came home from Greece, and while she was gone she got engaged. They are now moving.
This plan does not suit Phoebe well, since all her plans and dreams are washed away. Instead she is stuck on an Island in Greece, with her new so called family.
Turns out her new Stepfather is the principal at the school and her new stepsister, is an evil stepsister. And just when she thinks everything is going to be surviving. She finds out everyone at her school is descended by Greek Gods and have superpowers. How will that work out?
She is not only on a unfamiliar place, with no friends, family she does not like. But everyone else got superpowers. :S Will she survive...


My Opinion:
I absolutely adored this book. I love chick litt and I love paranormal, gods and superpowers :P So this was an amazing mix of everything I love :)
The book was easy and well written and fast read. And just when I finished the book I was like. Damn.. myself because I did not own the sequel. xD haha But soon I do :P

I choose to give this book 5 out of 6 stars
The reason it didn´t get 6 stars is that yeah.. Actually I don´t know. I just feel there could have been something more. But I don´t know what right now.
There is family drama, romance, friendship etc. Things you can really relate to. Though there aren´t that much action action. Which worked out great in this book. You just followed the main character and felt like you were her :)
So if you enjoy books who follows their life. And you like Chick litt. and gods, this is a book for you.

Have you read this book? Or any of her other books :)

I also found two small stories, for this story. Which I will be reading tomorrow. And post a small review of :)

Questions

I was over at Book Passion for Life and they had an old meme called something about 20 questions.
Where you were suppose to pick 3 questions your self to answer. But since I am not that creative today. I will just use their questions. So you can get to know me a little bit better :)

If you want to read about them, you can check out their blogpost HERE

Q: What's the worse colour you've ever dyed your hair?

I liked all the colors I have had. Though I got a hair cut just before Christmas time, which I totally hated. It looked awesome. And I am just waiting for my hair to get long again :)
I know I will never make that mistake again.
No more bangs

Q: If you could be one cartoon character, who would you be?

Oh. There are so many. I love Disney characters.
Belle, Ariel, Esmeralda etc.

Q: If you could have any job in the world what would you do?

I would be an animal keeper. :) I love animals.

Q: Tell us one great childhood memory that you love?
Must be my Summer vacations with my cousin.
We were always together and hang out at the camping place, in the town I am from.
And we were jumping on the trampoline all day long.
Sound pretty weird. But I think of those summers every year. I miss being young :P

As you can see I stole some of their questions. For next week. You guys are welcome to ask me questions :) If you like to get to know me a little bit better :)
