BoB 15: Villain Mash Up

Today's Bout of Books challenge is "Villain Mash Up," hosted by Bingeing on Books! For this, we must choose two villains—from two different books—whom we would like to see fight one another.

 

» Voldemort versus Kronos! «

Reason: Voldemort and Kronos are frightening villains. They each have a power that is stronger and darker than anyone else in their respective series, and their inability to feel compassion or love makes them inhuman (literally, in Kronos' case) and dangerous. Though choosing Voldemort as a villain may be a cop-out, I do feel like a battle between these two would be epic and could very well result in an end-of-the-world scenario. Because both feel like they are above friendships and alliances, they would never be able to work together and neither one would want to share power. I would hate to be around if ever there were an argument between the two.

BoB 15: Rainbow

Today's Bout of Books challenge is "Rainbows," hosted by Ranty Runt of a Reader! For this, we must make a rainbow—ROYGBIV style—out of books.

1. Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake

2. The Kill Order by James Dashner

3. The Beginning of Everything by Robin Schneider

4. The Body Electric by Beth Revis

5. Mockingjay by Susanne Collins

6. Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi

7. The Nightmare Affair by Mindee Arnett

BoB 15: Would You Rather?

Today's Bout of Books challenge is "Bookish Would You Rather," hosted by Writing My Own Fairytale! For this, we are playing a game of Would You Rather, but with books.



1. Would you rather lend books to someone who dog-ears pages or to someone who reads with cheesy, Cheetos fingers?

I would rather lend books to someone who dog-ears pages. As much as I hate dog-earing, I feel like Cheetos stains would be extremely annoying and difficult to get out.

2. Would you rather be able to meet one character or one author of your choice?

I would love to meet a fictional character! As for which one, there are too many to name! I'd probably go with one of my many book boyfriends, to be honest.

3. Would you rather never be allowed in a book store again, or a library?

A library. I haven't been to one in years, so not being allowed back wouldn't be a huge deal. I would much rather have access to a book store!

4. Would you rather have to choose one of your favorite characters to die or a favorite couple to break up in their book?

As much as my fangirl heart loves a good fictional couple, I think I would probably rather see one of my favorite pairs break up. I would never want to lose a character for good!

5. Would you rather be required to read Twilight or The Scarlet Letter once a year for the rest of your life?

Probably The Scarlet Letter. I've never read either of these two books, but I have absolutely no interest in picking up Twilight.

Bout of Books 15 TBR

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 4th and runs through Sunday, January 10th in whatever time zone you are in. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 15 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.


TBR:

1. The Wondrous and the Wicked by Page Morgan - I started this book in December and an awful, end-of-the-year reading slump kept me from picking it back up. Hopefully I can finish it this week!

2. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis - I cannot remember If I've read this book before, but an unofficial goal of 2016 is to try and finish the entire Chronicles of Narnia. The books aren't very long (it only took me a few hours to read The Magician's Nephew), so it should be easy to get through.

3. Illuminae by Amy Kaufman and Jay Kristoff - I have heard nothing but good things about this book! It looks humongous, but the entire story is told through case-files and everyone says that it is actually a really quick read so, hopefully, I can finish this one as well.



Bout of Books is such a great way to get back into reading after a long and grueling slump. Good luck if you're participating!
