It's time & 1st mini challenge!

Ok or it was time 35 minutes ago! I accidentally woke up late so I'm pushing my read-a-thon start date to 9:00 so I can eat and get everything all set to go.

I'll start off with the first mini challenge!


Where are you reading from today? My house in NY.

3 facts about me …  About reading/books or random.. oh heck we'll go with random!
       1)  My favorite food is shrimp.
 2) I'm constantly painting my nails but usually my the next day i've picked all the nail  polish off.
 3) The only fruit I like is apples. o_O

How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours? For starters just 4 but i'll add to it when necessary. :)

Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)? No goals really, I just want to have fun and help support my fellow readers throughout the day!

If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, Any advice for people doing this for the first time? I'm a first timer!!

So there you have it!
 
I'm off to finish getting ready then I'm sitting down with my big comfy quilt and starting where I left off in Shiver.
 
Have fun everyone!! :)

    Traditional read-a-thon blessing:

    May the bookshelf be there to greet you.
    May all the books appeal.
    May the fridge be full of tasty snacks;
    the words fall soft upon your eyes and until the read-a-thon ends,
    may you always hold a book in the palm of your hand.

    Good luck today!

Interview with Kimberly Derting and yes a giveaway!!!

Wow these contest are really adding up. I should have done one HUGE contest for all the books i'm giving away, but authors are very busy people and I didn't know when I would have which interviews back so I just separated them. So anyways, there's this book coming out in March called The Body Finder, i'm mostly sure you've heard of it but if not here's the trailer, watch it! Now that you know about this awesome book, how about an interview with the author! Yes, Kimberly has been kind enough to stop by and answer a few questions. Q: To start, can you tell us a little bit about yourself? A: Let’s see…I live in the Northwest with my husband and our three kids. I’m always surrounded by teenagers (my kids and their friends), which I think helps with my writing. Sometimes I’ll ask for their opinions on dialogue. Sometimes I just eavesdrop and call it “research.” Q: For those reading that don't already know, what is The Body Finder about? A: Sixteen-year...

Character Interview & Giveaway!

So for my part in the Tyger, Tyger blog tour for Teen Book Scene I did a character interview. Well im unconvential in my ways and since I wanted to ask multiple characters questions, I decided to ask five characters one question each, instead of asking one character five questions! Without further adeiu, I give you my multiple character interview! ~~~~~ Aiden: Singing is a huge part of your life. What is your favorite song to sing, and what is your favorite song to listen to? My favorite song to sing is, “Aiden is the hero.” I make up the words when I hear music. I like to listen to old songs, guy songs, not princess songs. There’s always a song around me. Like in the movies, when the music tells you things about what’s about to happen. I listen to it, and that’s how I know what to sing. Tonight, I want my Dad to sing the monsters away before I go to sleep, because I keep hearing, Bad Moon Rising http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BmEGm-mraE&feature=related My dad will make it...

Wow! This is my 300th post on this blog. *tears up* It's definitely been a fun-filled journey reaching this point. I've met many amazing bloggers and authors, and so I lift my virtual champagne glass and toast to (hopefully) 300 more! In celebration of Valentine's Day being yesterday, of this being my 300th post, and me almost hitting 800 followers (4 away!! eek!), I decided to hold a giveaway to win a pre-order of my most recent favorite read and a book I absolutely LOVE. Valentine's Day is the celebration of love after all, no one said it had to be directed to another person ;). If you follow me on twitter(@ssalach21), or read my latest review, you will know that I am talking about Divergent by Veronica Roth. If you missed my rave review, you can check it out here (It's spoiler free!). Here is the summary for those of you who aren't familiar: "One choice One choice decides your friends, defines your beliefs, and determines your loyalties . . . for...
