Summer Wrap-up Thon: The Flower Challenge

Happy Summer Everyone!!!

Today I am hosting a fun challenge for the Summer Wrap-Up Read-A-Thon. You can find the whole schedule for this Read-A-Thon hosted by Jude @ In-Between and Jennifer @ Some-Like-It-Paranormal here!

I have always liked flowers. They many amazing flower names and uses for flowers; from remembering love ones to gifts. For my challenge you can use any flower name and use it as the stem for an acrostic poem. I think this challenge is a great way to create a fun poem. You can complete this challenge as a blog post or in comments till the end of the read-a-thon, which is midnight, in whatever time zone you are in, on August 12th. The poem will be you describing why you like reading, blogging or any hobby you are passionate about. You can use a flower name as short as rose or as long as carnation!

Here is my home-written example! I decided to use my favorite flower name: Tulip! 
Its about why I like reading. :0

Terrifically delightful.
Unforgettable experience.
Losing myself to another world.
Intellectual morals and lessons learned.
Pleasant feeling of enjoyment. 

Thanks for participating!

Summer Wrap-up Read-A-Thon: My Pile!

Hi Everyone!!!!!


I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! I am excited to take part in my second read-a-thon the next few days. I found out, that I am better at updating on twitter, so you can find all my updates on twitter. My twitter handle is @rachelubooks. I am looking forward to this fantastic event. I am a little nervous because I am doing my first challenge on the ninth for this exciting event. I hope everyone finds The Flower Challenge fun! 

My goals are to read at least three books during this event, have fun and take part in most of the challenges and giveaways! 

I am first going to finish my fifth time of re-reading Hide and Seek by Sara Shepard. I promise that I will not read that unforgettable book again till October. It has my third favorite book boyfriend Thayer Vega! 

Then I am going to read two of my electronic review copies: League of Strays by L.B. Schulman and Glitch by Heather Anastasiu. I hope that this event and reading other books will take my mind off my waiting for Cross My Heart, Hope to Die by Sara Shepard and Scandal by Lauren Kunze and Rina Onur (Can't wait for those hopefully amazing books!) 

If I have time, I will also like to read Two-Way Street by Lauren Barnholdt. I love the contemporary genres and this is among my favorite book list! 

Thanks for reading!
How is your summer going?
