Update:
- Total Books Read: 0

- Books Read Since Last Update: 0
- Pages Read since last update: 0
- Total time read: 0
- How I'm currently feeling: Ready to done with work so I can get to reading!
- Favorite book-movie adaptation: I'm a big fan of the Lord of the Rings movies, and I also think the Harry Potter movies have done a great job portraying the books.
- Least favorite book-movie adaptation: Now this one I can answer a lot easier. I REALLY disliked the Eragon movie (the scene with Saphira in the clouds. Really?!). But I think the one that takes the cake is Ella Enchanted. I cried when I saw it(not happy tears). It was NOTHING like the book, and I love the book so much. Now that it's been a few years since I've read/seen it I might see it again, just so I can MAYBE enjoy it as a movie, and not as an adaptation.

Are we supposed to do the mini challenges on our blogs? I hope so because that is what I'm doing.
ReplyDeleteI think we are unless we don't have a blog.
ReplyDeleteI did mine on my blog. And here's my comment! I want to read this series! Good luck everybody!
ReplyDeleteFavorite:I thought they did a good job with I am Number Four.
ReplyDeleteLeast favorite: I would say Avalon High but that probably doesn't really count because it was a disney channel movie so Princess Diaries because it was nothing like the book.
...now back to more reading! [:

I'm such a jocker! Actually, though, the LOTR and Harry Potter movies ARE some of my favorite books to film adaptations! :)
ReplyDeleteIf you have a blog, post updates and challenge-answers there(you're welcome to just update one post throughout the day). If you don't have a blog, comment. Make sense?
ReplyDeleteGood Questions! I updated on my blog and good luck to everyone who is entering to win Outside In! I have read it and it is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI Just got inside out, so outside in would be perfect!

I want to put a few updates on one post and just keep linking to that one post so I'm not clogging the feeds of my followers. Is this okay? Anybody know?
ReplyDeleteAck! Ignore my first link on this post...put it in the wrong place!
ReplyDeleteOkay, the second link with the asterisks is my real one lol. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm skipping the mini challenge, but just put up my first book review of the readathon!
ReplyDeleteThanks for organizing this.
posted- now if kids allow it ..Back to reading!
ReplyDeleteI actually really liked the Ella Enchanted movie, but I watched it before I read the book, and to me they're so different that I pretty much consider them separate, the movie was more "inspired" by the book than anything lol
ReplyDeleteAnd Eragon, I must agree was not very good, the only thing I liked about that movie was Garrett Hedlund and that was because I am a huge sucker for Murtagh and he has such a low voice...just like I imagined ;) haha
Hope work and your appointment go by fast so you can get reading too. ;)
Happy reading and good luck everybody! :D
I was late for my first update...so I am not eligible to win, but I linked up anyway, because I made the post, and thought I'd link it up for people to read! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading everyone! :D
