Blog All About It: PINK BOOK COVERS

Yayy! Doing another year of prompts! So fun. 

The second of the year is: PINK

Been batting around ideas for this month's prompt. I'll share some book covers. ;)

Here are some books over the last couple of year that I have read that have pink in the cover.

THIS YEAR

2018

2017

2016



2015





2014


2013




2012





CONCLUSION
Sooo...honestly I do not think I am very drawn in by pink covers. I haven't really read many with covers that are mostly or have a lot of pink on the covers. The majority also seems to be romance novels. Go figure ;)




And just for fun! Here is a painting I did that has "PINK" in it ;)

Favorites of 2014 - The Carole Awards!

Happy end of 2014! I can't believe the year is already over and 2015 is right around the corner. Man...time does speed past faster and faster the older you get. This year I cut out the music section, so I can have more categorizes for books and movies. Now, let us hand out these imaginary Carole Awards (since i don't really have any - man, I wish I did have an award show named after me).  

Category 1 Movies:
Favorite Female Character.........Maleficent from 'Maleficent'
Honestly, I was stuck between 2 characters for this award, but Male gets it, because I think the actress did a wonderful job at making this classic baddie into a hero who temporarily lost her way. 

Favorite Male Character..........Adam from 'Upside Down'
I really adored him because he was smart and motivated. He wanted to be rich and wanted the woman he loved. He used his wits to get what he wanted and I respected that. Plus, he was pretty cute. ;) 

Favorite Baddie..........Richard from 'The Iceman'
The movie is about Richard, but he is a baddie. A baddie who gets rid of baddies? Yes, but he still was a baddie and went to jail for it. However, I loved him and the actor who plays him.

Favorite Poster..........Belle
A lovely poster with lovely colors. It really does pop. Also, the actress who plays Belle is pretty and her eyes are so intense.

Movie of the Year...........North & South
Another tough one, I watched sooooo many good movies this year. Even though this one is a "movie on TV" type film, it was still great and it deserves this award. The acting was fantastic and the story-line had me hooked. It even gave me the motivation to re-try this book. ^.^ 

Category 2 Books:
Favorite Female Character......Jasmine from 'The Dance of Spirits' 
She was a tough girl, who would do anything to survive, but keep to her morals no matter what. 

Favorite Male Character.......Robbie from 'The Bride Prize' 
He was simply adorable and funny. I loved that he could draw so well and he was such a gentleman and fought for his woman even though it seemed hopeless. 

Favorite Baddie...........Anara from 'A Cursed Bloodline' 
OOoooooh how he angered me! However, he certainly did a number on our heroes physically and emotionally. What a good baddie.

Favorite Cover...........'Dark Amelia' by Sally O'Reilly 
I love the colors. It seems simple, but it really is gorgeous. The mix of white, read, and then the peachy/red on her lips just seem to make it pop. 

Author of the Year...........Cecy Robson
I am so excited to see what she has next up her sleeve!

Book of the Year...........'The Korean Word for Butterfly' by James Zerndt
Like always, this part is always the hardest, especially after reading so many wonderful books this year. However, I must pick this one, because I loved it so much. It was a great story with great characters. 

What do you think? What were your favorites of 2014? :) Good luck in 2015!!!!!!!!!

2015 Goals:

Again, I shall do the the Goodreads challenge (I love it), I think I am going to try and get 85. Eeeeeek *fingers crossed* Also, one of peeps from Book Club shared this on the Facebook page and I shall attempt it. Some of them shall be hard, but it shall be fun. I highly recommend everyone gives it a go. 

*I will have my favorites of 2014 posted tomorrow. I'm still working on it. 

2014 Book Challenge

Well, like normal I'm doing the Goodreads book challenge. This year I going to try to read 52 books or more. *fingers crossed* Perhaps more. haha. I'm also thinking up another challenge. Any ideas? What are you guys doing this year? I would like to do another one (since I didn't do any last year). 

Book Title Madlibs Challenge

This year I'm going to be doing something a little different this year. The last two years I did the 'My Life According to Books', but I found a fun little book title madlib from YA Book Lover. Be sure to join, because its super fun!

The Madlib:

A. Place name or type (from a book title) can be a proper name or noun like Italy or mountains
B. Fave Villain (from a book – list title/series)
C. Adjective (from a book title) (hot, cold, dark, etc.)
D. Number (from a book title)
E. Noun (from a book title)
F. Fave Hero/Heroine you wouldn't mind spending a LOT of time with (from a book – list title/series)
G. Object (from a book title)


My Answer: 
Help! I’m being held captive in The Road, by King Claudius from 'Hamlet'!
It is very Scandalous (My Scandalous Viscount) here!
He is demanding 1984 Spring Moons to set me free!
I have just discovered that Faramir from 'The Return of the King'  was captured too!
On second thought, please send Purple Plumerias (Passion of the Purple Plumeria) , and don’t worry if you don’t hear from us for awhile!
