Confessions of a Literary Addict

So, this is going to be structured much like my Bout of Books 19 update page, because I found that the easiest to do! Also, my TBR is almost exactly the same as my #TheReadingQuest TBR, but that’s because I’m stacking them. There’s no way I can read so many books if I didn’t.

TBR

• The Wrath and the Dawn – 118 pages (almost done this one)
• The Rose and the Dagger – 416 pages
• To Kill a Mockingbird – 376 pages
• Life of Pi – 319 pages

Goal: 1,229 pages

Can I do it?

… Maybe. I’ve been addicted to Skyrim after unearthing my PS3 while cleaning out some things, so. Hopefully?

Challenge: Synopsis Rewrite

I’ll be rewriting the synopsis for City of Bones in Simon’s perspective.

When Simon’s best friend Clary vanishes in a club called Pandemonium–no, the irony is not lost on him–the worst he thinks is that she’s busy hooking up with one of the many more-attractive-than-him guys that frequent the place. The last thing he expects is for her to come back to him telling him she was descended from the blood of angels.

Or whatever these “Shadowhunters” claim to be. Simon thinks there might just be a few things wrong with them, starting with the fact they were likely a cult smoking too many herbs, but then he gets involved in Clary’s race to find her mother and his nightmares come alive. And to think he used to hate blood.

Ironic doesn’t even begin to cover his life anymore.

Challenge: Love to Hate!

This was really hard, but I have to say a few characters I love to hate would be Voldemort, Whelk and Piper from The Raven Cycle, and … also Kavinsky from The Raven Cycle.
