Women of the Otherworld: Mini Challenge #6


So, I haven't entirely kept up with my promise to read 100 pages of Stolen a day. In my defense, I've been reading a seriously awesome book and have been a bit distracted with that. I have, once again, decided to participate in the next Mini-Challenge though, so here are the rules (taken directly from Moonlight Gleam's website):


Go to the last page you've read and create phrases with the last word of each line. You can use punctuations that follow the words you use. YOU MUST USE ALL THE WORDS AND THEY MUST BE IN ORDER. Don't worry if the phrases make no sense at all, I just thought it would be fun to see what we come up with!
Don't forget to include the page number, as well as the book cover and synopsis!

Even though she's the world's only female werewolf, Elena Michaels is just a regular girl at heart -- with larger than normal appetites. She sticks to three feasts a day, loves long runs in the moonlight, and has a lover who is unbelievable frustrating yet all the more sexy for his dark side. Like every regular girl, she certainly doesn't believe in witches. Then again, when two small, ridiculously feminine women manage to hurl her against a wall, and then save her from the hunters on her tail, Elena realizes that maybe there are more things in heaven and earth than she's dreamt of.

Vampires, demons, shamans, witches -- in Stolen they all exist, and they're all under attack. An obsessed tycoon with a sick curiosity is well on his way to amassing a private collection of supernaturals, and plans to harness their powers for himself -- even if it means killing them. For Elena, kidnapped and imprisoned deep underground, separated from her Pack, unable to tell her friends from her enemies, choosing the right allies is a matter of life and death. (Summary from Goodreads)

Chapter "Introductions", Page 78: You. Convince demon quickly conjure self-protection magic. Cassandra nodded, ever-popular kidding. A they they certain predefined Witch hmm. Jeremy these Elena. Me. Jealous. Said. Percent warning. Tongue-lashing were story.

Apparently Cassandra is supposed to conjure a self-protection demon and Elena is jealous of a prefefined Witch hmm. Well, that's an interesting take on the story!

What did you guys come up with with your current reads?

Women of the Otherworld Challenge: Mini-Challenge #5


Hey guys!

I'll admit, I have not been doing what I committed to. I really wanted to keep up to date with the Women of the Otherworld Reading Challenge but I've sadly fallen way behind. I have a plan though, one that will hopefully get me all caught up while still cutting down my TBR pile. My plan: read one hundred pages each day of whatever WOTOW book I'm currently reading. That way, I have time to read other books while still completing the challenge. Let's just hope I'm successful!

I have decided to participate in a mini-challenge though, and the rules are as followed (taken directly from Moonlight Gleam's website):

Go to the last page you've read and create phrases with the last word of each line. You can use punctuations that follow the words you use. YOU MUST USE ALL THE WORDS AND THEY MUST BE IN ORDER. Don't worry if the phrases make no sense at all, I just thought it would be fun to see what we come up with!

Chapter "Tea", Page 23: Nine-one-one little in of thought, into thirties about of contained and bedroom. Side front no Winterbournes expected behind werewolf you. The could another large survival: the fire our in down.

Well, that makes little-to-no sense but it is pretty amusing! Especially the whole "No Winterbournes excepted behind werewolf you". That cracked me up! 

What did you guys come up with? And if you're not taking part, why not send me the last words of the last page you just read in whatever book you're currently reading! Let's see what everyone comes up with!

In My Mailbox (6)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren, in which bloggers post about the books they got during the week!

I'm going on another book ban. Seriously, my bank account is yelling at me. I am only buying one more book this month, cause May is going to bankrupt me. Anyways, I manage to snag some fantastic deals this week because my local Salvation Army was having a huge book sale. All books under $1 were ten books for $5! I couldn't help myself! Here are the books!

Bought:

- Three Days to Dead by Kelly Meding
- As Lie the Dead by Kelly Meding
- Another Kind of Dead by Kelly Meding
- Wrong Side of Dead by Kelly Meding
- One Grave at a Time by Jeaniene Frost
Note: I technically already own this book. I'm a huge Night Huntress series fan and picked up One Grave at a Time days after it came out. And I lost it. I have no clue how, but it disappeared and I've been really upset about it since (ask my friend Crimson. On random occasions I will tweet her something along the lines of "I'M SO HEARTBROKEN! I NEED BONES" every couple of months). Much to my surprise, and delight, I found a copy for only 99 cents! Made my day!

- The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella

- Sins of the Angels by Linda Poitevin (I've heard a couple people talking about this one so I figured I might as well check it out!)

- I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga (not part of the bargain, just a book I've been meaning to pick up!) 

That's it for this week! What was in your mailbox?
