In anticipation of the festival, I challenged myself to Mission: TBFLive in which I was to read at least one book by each participating author. Luckily, there were a few that I had already read. But I still had about 25 authors to get to know. I accepted my challenge with a "Ha!!" and a "Bring it On" and then myself said "Ha HAAA! It's already been brought-en" and then it just got ugly.
Back on the sane side of things, I'm a procrastinator... so, basically, I've read 15 of these in the last two weeks. I just got Heather Terrell's The Fallen Angel, yesterday. And Chris Pallace's book hasn't gotten to me from book loan, yet. So, pending my own brain functioning tonight, I will be short ONE FRICKING BOOK!! Ridiculous.
This is the current wallpaper on my computer at work. Tiled, of course. (I think it's capable of inspiring a seizure.) I've been breathing TBF for two weeks and I'm excited to have the whole thing POP, tomorrow! Not like a pimple. That's gross. Like a fire cracker! Duh.
Post TBF, I plan on catching up with my Reading groups. They probably miss me. I might take a nap first.
Here's how the Mission all went down.

this.

Vladimir Chronicles 1- 4

Needing to read more than just the

I went back and forth about this book.
I would give the second one a shot.
|
Gayle Forman
|

I had planned to miss all things

think I would have liked a different ending.

Crash into You
|
This turned out to be the third in a
series. Oops. I might have been fine alone, though. It was light reading (for
a 474 pages). Good girl, bad boys, messed up family lives. What’s not to
love?
|

This is the saddest GN in history. I’ll
be reading more Neri in the near future.
|
Jennifer Niven
|
All the Bright Places
|
This book is getting a lot of
attention. At least it is on my feeds. It was definitely a golden spot of the
challenge but I’m glad I was ahead of some of the buzz.

This was a cute little picture book I
had to drive two towns over to read at the library. I’m thinking of adding
the bunny to my tattoo.
|
Neal Shusterman
|
Bruiser, Unwind*
|
Already a Fave. Bruiser is one of my
top fave books. Still need to finish the Unwind series, though.
|
Heather Terrell

Just picked it up yesterday. It’s on
my agenda to finish today.

This audiobook had me cracking up. I
plan to read The Misfits #1 to see what I think.
