Winter Bianually Bibliathon

So I just found out that there is a bibliathon coming up. I hadn't seen this on time before but this year I found out before it was over yey! So I want to participate on it. 
So I have been following Emma for a while now and this is how I found out about the challenge. I obviously only will do the reading Challenges. They consist of:

1. Read the group book: Other World by Jason Seagol and Kristen Miller
2. Read a sequel
3. Read a book you've never heard of before.
4. Read a book about Mental Illness.
5. Read a book that you've found in a tv series, movie or another book.
6. Read a book under 200 pages.
7. Read a book published before 2017.

So here it is my plan for each of the challenges:

1. I bought Otherworld so no problem.
2. My pick is the Revolution of Mara Dyer the final book of the trilogy Mara Dyer. It is a sequel after all. If I run out of time this can also count for the challenge #7 XD
3. For this I had planned on going to the book store and picking a random book, but when I was buying Otherworld I coincidentally found other books from this very same authors so I bought them. I have the Nightmares! trilogy, I have no idea of what they're about or anything, I beleive that they are a middle grade novel... but oh well it fits I know nothing about them.
4. I also bought a book called My heart and other black hearts by Jasmine Warga, I'm not sure if it has Mental illness in it and if not I will re-read Turtles all the way down or maybe use this Mara dyer as a replacement for this and find another one for challenge #7. But I'd rahter use My heart and other black holes because it deals with suicide tendencies and depression so in my mind it counts.
5. I just bought a book of the Complete tales and poems of Edagar Allan Poe and I have always wanted to read it, and I have found a lot of references in several media, movies and books mainly, so it does count the problem is that this book is huge! So I might change and read another book my second choice is Midnight Summer Dream by William Shakespeare. 
6. For a short book my pick is The strange case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde.
7. For and oldie my pick is an John Grishman book: The Rainmaker, it was published in 2005 so it counts as previously published all right. 

We'll see how many I actually manage to get done. This week I have been trying to change my schedule at work and well I have several things that definately get in my way of reading... I'm supposed to be a working adult and that takes too much time from me.

Poirot Investigates

Image
Author: Agatha Christie Series: Hercules Poirot Mysteries #3 Genre: Mystery, Short Stories Original publication date: 1924 Book description: A short story collection of mysteries and cases Poirot and his friend Hastings solve. Thoughts: First off I am reading the works of Agatha Christie in publication order, I had begun to buy her works in second-hand shops and in amazon when I ran into any of them at a cheap price (yeah I am a cheap person, or just not rich I have to try to downsize my expenses). I have owned this book for a little bit, I bought it last year and yet I had no idea it was a short story collection, pretty funny how that works. This book contains several stories so I'll give just a rating to each one and then do an overall rating for the collection. *The adventure of the western star. A movie star seeks Poirot, she is scared. She received a few letters warning her that she will lose a precious diamond. Another person in England has rumored to have a si...

My sister the serial killer

Image
Author : Oyinkan Braithwaite Genre: Mystery, Thriller Original publication date: July 2017 Book description: When Korede's dinner is interrupted one night by a distress call from her sister, Ayoola, she knows what's expected of her: bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel and a strong stomach. This'll be the third boyfriend Ayoola's dispatched in, quote, self-defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away. She should probably go to the police for the good of the menfolk of Nigeria, but she loves her sister and, as they say, family always comes first. Until, that is, Ayoola starts dating the doctor where Korede works as a nurse. Korede's long been in love with him, and isn't prepared to see him wind up with a knife in his back: but to save one would mean sacrificing the other. Thoughts: It was a disappointment because I had such different expectations for how this would go or the nature of the relationship between...

The Mark of Athena

Image
Author: Rick Riordan  Genre: YA Fantasy Original Publication date: October 2012 Book description:  Annabeth is terrified. Just when she's about to be reunited with Percy—after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera—it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II, she can't blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. With its steaming bronze dragon figurehead, Leo's fantastical creation doesn't appear friendly. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace. And that's only one of her worries. In her pocket, Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving command: Follow the Mark of Athena. Avenge me. Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find—and close—the Doors of Death. What more does Athe...

The mysterious affair at Styles

Image
Author: Agatha Christie Series: Hercule Poirot #1 Original publication date: October 1920 Book description:  Who poisoned the wealthy Emily Inglethorpe, and how did the murderer penetrate and escape from her locked bedroom? Suspects abound in the quaint village of Styles St. Mary--from the heiress's fawning new husband to her two stepsons, her volatile housekeeper, and a pretty nurse who works in a hospital dispensary. Making his unforgettable debut, the brilliant Belgian detective Hercule Poirot is on the case. Thoughts: It is a very fast-paced mystery.  It starts very well with a cutout mystery, with a very strong theory people have. You as a reader think there is another thing going on because there are a few people here and their minds are already set on who the guilty party is regardless of lack of investigation. The detective here is a funny little character, who is making questions no one thought to ask, about things that do not seem to matter and yet they ar...
