Day 5 December 13
I didn't do any reading today and I really don't know why. I didn't read a single page today. Today's Challenge is My Favorite Book to Movie of 2013. 2013 had so many good books to movies. I really have a hard time picking a clear winner. I'm going to have to pick: 
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. 

The Mortal Instruments Series has become one of my favorite series of this year. I think the movie did a great job following the book. I also loved Lily Collins as Clary and Jamie Bower as Jace. What is your favorite book to movie of 2013?

This challenge was hosted by Falling for YA

Today's Challenge is hosted by Book Briefs. The challenge is to recommend a book for each season.

A book for a snowy day
Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu is a retelling of the Snow Queen. I think it is fitting for this challenge seeing as I just finished the book. The cover is beautiful and the story is imaginative. This book transported me into a whole new world. I think it would be a great book to cuddle with on a cold winter day. If only I didn't have to face the cold to go to class. 

A book for a rainy day
I have to recommend Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah. This book is all about love and friendship and two girls that live a lifetime together. I think this would be a great book to snuggle up with when it is rainy and dreary outside. This was definitely one of my favorite books of 2013. I fell in love with the characters and would love for it to be a more widely read book. 

A book for a Beach Day
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins was by far one of the best romance novels I have read this year. When I'm reading by the pool I want a book that is light and fun. I think Anna and the French Kiss had just the right amount of series parts to make it believable, but it was also such a fun read. 

A book for a Spooky Night
I don't really think this book is scary, but it definitely has a lot of action and adventure to be a wild ride. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare is a character driven book set in a beautiful, vivid world. If you need anymore reason to read this novel it was also made into a movie this year. Go get your hands on a copy.

  2. I love that you put how many pages you've read and how much time you spent reading! Although for me this might be a bit scary some days ;D

    1. It is a bit scary how little I read yesterday and today hasn't been any better. I hope that I'm able to get more reading done on Friday after I finish up with my finals.
