Last Challenge! Wow, I can't believe I've finished it *throws confetti* 

Anyway, since it's the last day of the 30-day Book Challenge, today's pick is special: My favorite book of all time. And it is...

30-day Book Challenge: DAY TWENTY-NINE

"A Book Everyone Hated But You Liked"


Hate. Strong strong word. 

Well, being a self-admitted deviant (mostly when it comes to books) I have a lot of books that I actually enjoyed but is actually down on ratings. On the otherhand, there are also lots of books that everyone adored while I simply placed it on the bottom of my favorites.

So for today's challenge, I guess I'll be choosing...

30-day Book Challenge: DAY TWENTY-EIGHT

"Favorite Title Of A Book"


Aside from an eye-catching cover and a well-written blurb, what else would make a book enticing for readers? The title of course! As a writer too, I admit that coming up with a remarkable title is one tough job because you have to summarize your whole story in a few words plus, it has to be catchy too and something that the readers would easily remember.

Anyway, for today's challenge of favorite book title, I'll go with:

30-day Book Challenge: DAY TWENTY-SEVEN

"The Most Surprising Plot Twist Or Ending"


Personally, I like reading books with big big plot twists. I love it when the authors sneak up behind you and pull the rug underneath your feet which you didn't even know was there in the first place!

As a reader, I had my fair share of this twists and I can say that one of the most surprising endings that I have read about is that of...

30-day Book Challenge: DAY TWENTY-SIX

"A Book That Changed Your Opinion About Something"



"One must always be careful of books and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us." -Cassandra Clare

And I couldn't agree more. Some book-readers read for pleasure, for relaxation; Some, to escape reality; and some just to pass time. But whatever one's reason is, it couldn't be denied that whether we like it or not, we will always bring something inside us after reading. Life lessons, stories, and other stuff that cannot be taken away.

Today, I have to choose a book that changed my opinion on something and I pick...

30-day Book Challenge: DAY TWENTY-FIVE

"A Character You Could Relate To The Most"


I could probably go on and on with this one. Of all the thousands of characters I've known, I find a little bit of myself in each of them. May it be in a guy or a girl, there will always be a quality that you can relate with.

Still, for today's challenge, I picked someone who isn't exactly my most favorite character (I like her a lot though not THAT much) but someone who I see most of myself in. And she is...

30-day Book Challenge: DAY TWENTY-FOUR

"A Book That You Wish More People Would've Read"


A book that you wish more people would've read. 

I actually have a long list for this one. You can view some of my posts that are related on this topic by clicking on the wish-more-would-read tag on the right side of the screen :)

Anyway, I guess for today's challenge, I'll pick:

30-day Book Challenge: DAY TWENTY-THREE

"A Book You Wanted To Read For A Long Time But Still Haven't"


I know most readers will agree with me when I say that for every book that we finish, two (or sometimes more) books are added to our reading pile. 

For today's challenge, I have to pick a book that's been gathering dust on my to-read shelf and I just knew what it is:

30-day Book Challenge: DAY TWENTY-TWO

"A Book That Makes You Cry"


It's my sister's birthday today! (Just throwing that out there. Blame the sudden burst of randomness)

Anyway, I believe I've mentioned it before that I don't easily cry at books/movies. That's why, I'm slightly adjusting today's challenge. Instead of simply a book that makes me cry, I'm picking something that made me cry. Something that seriously overwhelmed me with feels.

And that is...

30-day Book Challenge: DAY TWENTY-ONE

"The First Novel You Remember Reading"


Day Twenty One. 

The moment I saw what's on today's challenge, this book instantly popped into my mind. I'm not really sure if I could consider it as a "novel" since it's not really "novel-ish". More like a novella.

Anyway, what I chose is...

30-day Book Challenge: DAY TWENTY

"Favorite Romance Book"



Another Checkpoint! Day Twenty :D

Today's challenge is pretty tricky: Favorite Romance Book. Since most books I read is 'romance', it's hard to pick a favorite but after some thinking, I decided on something that hasn't made the challenge list yet AND would not be making the list if not now.

So, I'd be picking...

30-day Book Challenge: DAY NINETEEN

"Favorite Book Turned Into A Movie"


Oh, another movie related challenge! And today, I have to choose a Favorite book turned into a movie. As both a book and movie fan, there's nothing more satisfying than a favorite read hitting the big screens. Of course, along with the excitement comes a tinge of nervousness since MOST films just simply don't give justice to the magnificence of books.

But there are some rare instances which the movie seems a very good representation of the text. One of these is...

30-day Book Challenge: DAY EIGHTEEN

"A Book That Disappointed You"


Day Eighteen. Wow, I'm almost through! 

Anyway, for today's challenge which is A Book That Disappointed You, at first I thought that I don't really have anything but then after some quick rethinking, I realized that I was actually didn't get fulfilled by a certain book.

And that is...

30-day Book Challenge: DAY SEVENTEEN

"Favorite Quote From Your Favorite Book"


I find today's challenge pretty interesting. Whenever I read, I make sure to take down "notes" on some quotes that I like. As I read the challenge for today, my choice immediately presented itself on my mind. No need for much thinking since I think it's perf <3

What I chose for today is...

30-day Book Challenge: DAY SIXTEEN

"Favorite Female Character"


In relation to yesterday's challenge, today I have to choose my Favorite Female Character which is a bit easier than yesterday. Like my favorite males, I also have tons of loved females but there's one who I can consider as my favorite :)

So, for today's challenge, I pick...

30-day Book Challenge: DAY FIFTEEN

"Favorite Male Character"


Favorite Male Character. Tough one. Of all the books I've read, I have a favorite male so it's really hard to pick just one. Here's a pile of most (not all) of my fave guys:


It's a hard decision since I sooo like them all but then if I honestly have to chose one, I'd pick:

30-day Book Challenge: DAY FOURTEEN

"Book Turned Movie and Completely Desecrated"


I know most (if not all) would agree with me on this one: Books are better than movies. And I know that again, most (if not all) of us have that one (or more) book that has been thrashed, pulled apart, and just completely wrecked by its movie adaptation.

So for today's challenge, I have to chose a book that has been turned into a film and is just seriously not up to the standards of book readers. Among all of I have chosen, I guess this one's probably the most fitting for today.

30-day Book Challenge: DAY THIRTEEN

"Your Favorite Writer"


Favorite Writer. Hmmm..tough one. I have a few handfuls in mind but of course, there's someone who's slightly above the rest.

So without further ado, the one I'm picking for today's challenge is:

"A Book You Love But Hate At The Same Time"


For today's challenge, I have to choose a book that made me feel two contrasting emotions: LOVE and HATE. Big words! hahaha :) 

Anyway, as I saw what's up for me today, it only took me a couple of minutes to figure out what made me feel that way and it is:

30-day Book Challenge: DAY ELEVEN

"A Book You Hated"


Ooh HATE! Such a strong word. Its meaning is magnified when combined with the word BOOK in the same sentence. As a self-proclaimed bookie, I don't think that there's a book that you can say that you actually hate. No matter how ridiculous the plot is or how the characters are not likeable, you just can NOT hate a book.

So, for today's challenge, I'll pick not a book that I hated, but my least favorite book and that is:
