Debut-a-Thon: Wrap Up

I didn't get to read as many as I wanted, but I did manage to clear a review book and a book off my TBR shelf, and started a library book that is due back soon. I wanted to read more of it but I fell asleep. 

What I did read:

Not A Drop To Drink by Mindy McGinnis 

The Ward by Jordana Frankel

Pivot Point by Kasie West

Total pages read: 891

I had so much fun doing this read a thon that I've signed up to the Summer Lovin' read a thon for this week.

Challenge #2

I'm currently reading The Ward and I haven't read much of it to be able to put music to it, but I'm going to cheat a little with it as the character in the book, Ren, some kind of drag racing over the tops of buildings and over the water, and on page 42 as she drives off the end of the building she pushes a button to listen to music - "Highway to hell" by ACDC. It was actually pretty fitting for the scene. 

So to be fair, as I have finished Not A Drop To Drink I can, without cheating, pick a song. This proved to be really hard. There is a perfect song, but it would give away too much of the story. So I hunted through my music and came across 'Like a stone' by Audioslave and this fits the whole novel as well as a lot of little scenes, and gives nothing away.

1. The Nightmare Affair

Debut-A-Thon

Books of Amber is hosting a Debut-A-Thon. It's a four day read-a-thon that is focusing on debuts from 2013. For more information, and to sign up just go here. 
When I saw this the first thing I did was check when my final exam is on - thankfully the week before! YAY! So since I have a review book from a debut author to read and I have purchased several debut books recently, I decided to pick out four of them. I'll be lucky to get through four in four days but after the pressure of exams this will be bliss! =D
Without further ado, these are my picks:

Not A Drop To Drink by Mindy McGinnis

Taken by Erin Bowman

The Ward by Jordana Frankel

Mila 2.0 by Debra Briza

Now I've read a few mixed reviews about a couple of these, but I have Acid by Emma Pass if I need another to read. I'm really looking forward to this and I get the added benefit of getting through several books in a short period of time which I normally don't get to do. 

Big thanks to Books of Amber for organising this!!
