DAY 7 #boutofbooks Challenge


Lovelies it's the last day of Bout of Books! How you holding up? This is the last challenge of the week and it's just a little bit of fun. Today's post is organised by Oh Magic Hour and here's what we have to do...

For this, your final mini-challenge of the readathon, I thought it would be fun if we all tried to come up with a new title for our current read, or really anything we’ve read during this Bout of Books 10.0.  For me, a great title can really go a long way toward making me want to read a book and I thought it would be fun to play with that concept a little bit.  Your new title can be something you ACTUALLY think would make a good title, or just something descriptive or something funny!  It’s totally up to you!

Got it? Okay, lets begin! 



So you know those books that have really long, descriptive titles, where it's more like a blurb than a title? You know like The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out His Window And Disappeared... I mean, try saying that 3 times faster!


I read The Geography of You and Me towards the beginning of the week and I though it would be a fun one to rename. I was going to try and be serious but I thought I'd try to be ironic... I warn you, this could fail miserably! 

So my new titles for this little beaut are:

How NOT to Pick Up Guys in an Elevator

When the Postman Knows More About Your Relationship Than You Do.

How to End a Year Exactly How You Started It

Why Date a Real Guy When You Can Date A Postcard?


So what did you read this week? And if you had to rename that book what would it be? PS. Really not as easy as you think! 

DAY 3 - #boutofbooks challenge


Today's Bout of Books challenge comes from My Overstuffed Shelves. Basically what they want us to do is tell you 'If you liked ----, then try ----"... does that make sense? Okay, good! So here we go, Day 3 #boutofbooks challenge.



If you liked BLUE NOTES 
Then try STUPID GIRL


And the reason... They both have seriously hot book boyfriends! Now, I'll worn you these are BOTH New Adult books and have some steamy chapters, so not really appropriate for you younger YA readers but damn, you older YA's are going to love these. 

I've come to realise that I have a thing for bad boys, and these two leading men are the epitome of the bad boy! I hope you get these a whirl my little munchkins because they really were worth the read.


Now because I feel bad that I didn't think that last one through, heres one for you adorable younger YA readers! 
If you liked ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS
The try FANGIRL


Sticking with the super cute book boyfriends theme these two are pretty close to perfect. They both have they're little quirks but holey moley they're keepers. 

If you loved Anna and the French Kiss half as much as I did you'll adore Fangirl. As well as the fact they have cute boys they both have strong leading ladies that fall very far from the winy school girl stereotype!

Bout of Books 10 - Goals


The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal.
