I know, I know!!!! I'm crazy!!! You can do this any way you want. You can print out the book covers and cut and paste them on a poster board and take a picture of it. Or, you can do it all on the computer. OR, if you have all the books in your home you can just lay them out on the floor in a collage and take a picture of that. Whatever works for you. Get crackin' and get creative!</span></b></span><br />

</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">1. Read more.

</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">2. I want to write my reviews in a timely manner. I need to write the review as soon as I finish a book. What has been happening is as soon as I finish a book I pick up my next one and just keep reading and never take a break to write the review for the one I just finished. It becomes a vicious cycle. My goal is to have a review for EVERY book I read (young adult) on my blog.</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />

Sometimes when I read a book I love a character so much that I think, "You know, if he/she were a real person I could really be friends with him/her." Some authors just have a knack for writing lovable characters. So, think about some of the characters you have gotten to know over your years of reading. Who would be your best friend (or at least a friend of some kind) if he/she were real? Here are some of mine:<br />
<br />
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Shane Collins from THE MORGANVILLE VAMPIRE Series could totally be my boyfriend. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Jace Wayland from THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS Trilogy could also be my boyfriend.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I think I could get along with Scarlet and Rosie March from SISTERS RED.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I loved <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Nastasya from IMMORTAL BELOVED. Her sense of humor would really mesh with mine.</span></span></li>

Since it is going to take a little while to put together, I thought I'd give everyone a heads up. Here is what I'll be asking you to do on the last day of the Holiday Break Reading Challenge (January 2, 2011). </span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Create a collage using all the book covers from the books you read in 2010. I know, I know!!!! I'm crazy!!! You can do this any way you want. You can print out the book covers and cut and paste them on a poster board and take a picture of it. Or, you can do it all on the computer. OR, if you have all the books in your home you can just lay them out on the floor in a collage and take a picture of that. Whatever works for you. Get crackin' and get creative!</span></b>Karin Perryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03665944534975430855noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2369832033607361033.post-33101412929891705462010-12-28T00:00:00.001-06:002010-12-28T00:00:03.273-06:00Activity #12 Status UpdatesToday should be easy.

The main words for the sentence must come from the book titles, but you can add a small word or two in order to help it make sense if you need to. Just put your added words in [brackets]. You can use as many book titles as you want, but use at least 3. Here is my example:<br />

Being book lovers like we are it stands to reason that we either received books or gave books for Christmas. In this activity I want you to tell us what books (or book related materials) you received or gave this holiday season. If they were books you gave to others - tell us who they were for. Be sure to link your post below using Mr. Linky. Here is my example:<br />
<br />
I purchased two books for my mother. <br />
THE CONFESSION by John Grisham (audio book)<br />

<br />
Unfortunately, I didn't receive any books as gifts. I guess everyone figured I have enough to keep me occupied for now. :)<br />

<b>Since today is Christmas and everyone will probably be busy, I'm making Today's activity easy. Here is what you have to do:<br />
<br />
1. Since today is the 25th, turn to page 25 in the book you are reading right now.<br />
2. Count down the page to line 25 and tell us what the sentence says. If there is a partial sentence or word in that line you can leave it out. If you don't have 25 lines on your page just choose the 7th line (2+5=7).<br />
3. Be sure to post a picture of your book along with your sentence and link it below using Mr. Linky.<br />
<br />
Here is my example:<br />
<br />
