A Book You Can Read In A Day

Yesterday I wrote a blog post about how I was falling behind, so I figured as a start to getting back on track, I would attempt this challenge. It seemed relatively easy and it was!

The book I selected was part of a collection of books I downloaded from Amazon for free; this is the cover.

At only 17,000 words, I knew this would be a fast read and it ended up taking me about forty minutes total. The item asked for a book you could read in a day and with my busy days, this is pretty much the only one I could. It was short and sweet (a comedy/ paranormal story) and very fun to read.

I almost wish it were longer, because the plot felt a bit rushed and there were some relationships I would've liked to read more about, but that's just because it was a short story which was kind of the point! 

If you're ever looking for a cute story to read in the breaks of your busy day, I would one hundred percent suggest this. Although, it's best read on Halloween, as suggested by the title.

I'm so glad I was able to read today and post another update!  

Not the Post I Hoped to Post

I know this post is late, I’m so sorry, I promised one earlier, but I’m behind on the reading challenge so this happened. I still haven’t actually finished another book, because I had to quit reading the last one I chose. It wasn’t bad, but it was a horror story that I accidentally picked out in a rush. This is it.

I thought I would read it for the ‘a book that scares you’ item, but it was too freaky. As I’m currently living with a clinical anxiety disorder, I don’t really need more fear in my life. So not even halfway through I gave up, it hurt too much to read it. If you enjoy horror books, it did seem well written and you may be interested in giving it a try!

Before that, I was sick again- a major reason I haven’t read more. It ruined my Valentine’s Day and made me feel like doing nothing. I’ve hardly read this month and it sucks and I’m already failing, but I’m not going to give up. Hopefully the next post will be an actual book review.

A Book Based Entirely on its Cover

I apologize for this post being a bit late, but I got sick last weekend and put off everything, including reading. I'm a little behind on the challenge, but I'm sure I can get caught up!

Alright, for this item, I looked through a few books at the library and selected Revived by Cat Patrick, because, well, just look at this cover.

The book turned out to be about a girl who is part of a secret government program that invented a medicine to bring people back after they die, assuming they had no preexisting medical conditions such as cancer. It started out slow and focused on Daisy's life and reminded me of a lot of stories I've read on Wattpad. And then it got darker. I don't want to spoil anything, but God, the nickname of the person in charge of the program, isn't as saintly as Daisy, or any of the readers, would like to imagine. Daisy is a memorable character with real flaws and her own choices. Revived pretty accurately portrays teen life while asking important questions about life and death.

Overall, Revived was a great book, the kind that I read for hours yesterday because I couldn't put it down, I just had to know where it was going. I would recommend to anyone who likes teen fiction and suspense.
