Mini-Challenge 7: Armchair Traveling

This may be a bit more imaginative than the question calls for, but I just finished Soulless by Gail Carriger, and I can not tell you how much it makes me want to visit this steampunk-paranormal 19th century England. The play of prudish manners coupled with the more animalistic nature of paranormals is just fascinating, and I would love to plop myself right down in the middle of it all!

Mini-Challenge 8: Love to Hate

Trying to decide on a character I love to hate is somewhat difficult. I very rarely hate the characters in books - even the truly evil ones - and I'm not sure if it's because I'm sympathetic or have some sort of sick dark side...let's hope for the former. Gentleman Rivers from Sarah Waters' Fingersmith does come to mind because he is just so unbelievably smarmy. Lord Henry Wotton from The Picture of Dorian Gray is also rather detestable. And yet, I do so enjoy both of those characters...

Mini-Challenge 9: Shake Your Pom-Poms

I was terribly remiss in creating cheers for the readathon this year. My brain seems to have gone all fuzzy from too much grading I'm afraid, so this is all I could come up with.

One, Two, Three, Four

Get one done and read some more

Five, Six, Seven, Eight

Reading so much, can't see straight

Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve

Pick another up off the shelf!

Happy Reading!
