Summer Lovin' Read-a-thon: Book Spine Poetry

The Summer Lovin’ Readathon is a week-long readathon event hosted by seven independent bloggers! (Oh, Chrys!, Tumbling Books, Effortlessly Reading, Love Life Read, Shelf Addiction, Read Sleep Repeat, and Reviewing Wonderland)

Originally I wasn't planning to participate in this challenge because I'm not very creative with book spine poetry, but I got inspired by the book I was currently reading the other day, Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass. George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones then popped into my head, and from there, a few other royal-themed book titles came to mind. I ended up having a lot of fun with this, and here's the final result:

Game of thrones, throne of glass
Queen by right, the kingmaker's daughter.
Daughter of smoke and bone, runaway.
Where she went?
Jellicoe Road.

Summer Lovin' Read-a-thon: Class Orientation

We're extremely excited to be taking part in the Summer Lovin' Read-a-thon! This is the first read-a-thon for all three of us, and it's great that we can do this as a family and cheer each other on. We're planning on spending July 4th by the pool with our books, and we're especially looking forward to the 24-hour marathon on Saturday.

We're going to be taking our progress day-by-day, so our reading goals for the week are rather broad:

• Ally: Read all books in current library pile, which will most likely be down to zero before the end of the week, requiring an emergency trip to the library to replenish it.
• Lee: Read all books in current library pile, plus read at least two books that I already own, starting with Shatter Me and Throne of Glass.
• Melissa: Read at least one book each day.

We look forward to getting a lot of reading done this week and having a lot of fun!

I'm thrilled to participate in my first read-a-thon! I've always wanted to do one of these, and I'm hoping to make some kind of dent in my TBR pile, which is currently some ridiculous number (not that it stops me from adding to it). This might be the perfect opportunity to tackle my bookshelves at home, which hold quite a few books that I bought but never got around to reading.
