1000 door readathon prompt 3

 We have finished reading the book for the second prompt. The book ended up being 3 stars. Not sure if that is going to be the deciding criteria for the next prompt. Let's find out. 

The prompt I used for the #2 door can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAgHF3-OI20

The criteria is based on the following question: 

(-: Did you guess where the book was going?

Possible answers:

This is a series of unfortunate event of course I knew where it was going but I still enjoyed the ride. So my next prompt is dictated by the 3rd option. Let's see what we find.
(Note: I am only including the links for the prompts I am using but this game can be played any time, feel free to start in the announcement and select your prompt one and go from there. Believe me, it is pretty fun.)

Prompt:

*A book that feels like Marvel.
Once more a huge range of possible interpretations. 
It can be a similar theme, hero related.
Set in the same time period think Captain America-WWII setting.
For example an expansive universe.
A similar genre for example Guardians of the Galaxy a Sci that includes space travel or aliens and humans working together. 

I am a bit unsure about this one. I will have to think about it for a bit and come back to it.


So I am still not sure what character, storyline, or Marvel thing to base my pick on.
So I give up, I am making a very straightforward interpretation. I will read My hero academia vol 15. This is literally a story of heroes, young people training to be heroes.  They are trying to use their powers to help other and stop criminals. As a bonus is also not a typical book is a manga so that's almost like a comic. 


What is the real difference between comics and manga? Only the country where they originate? Googling did not help me too much. In some definitions, they say it's a comic or graphic novel produced in Japan. But then comics are defined as different from graphic novels as the latter contains full stories and are longer and the first one (comic) only contains small parts of the story.

 Either way, I will read this as it's in a similar format as the Marvel comics and also contains people with powers who use their talents to help uphold the law. 

Well, for now, that's it, see you later, I'm sure I'll finish this one the very same day. I might just go ahead and read the volumes picked for this month 15 to 18 in a single day if I have enough time. 

Stay safe!

Bird Box

Author: Josh Malerman Genre: Mystery/Thriller, Horror Original publication date: March 2014 Book description:  Something is out there, something terrifying that must not be seen. One glimpse of it, and a person is driven to deadly violence. No one knows what it is or where it came from. Five years after it began, a handful of scattered survivors remains, including Malorie and her two young children. Living in an abandoned house near the river, she has dreamed of fleeing to a place where they might be safe. Now that the boy and girl are four, it's time to go, but the journey ahead will be terrifying: twenty miles downriver in a rowboat—blindfolded—with nothing to rely on but her wits and the children's trained ears. One wrong choice and they will die. Something is following them all the while, but is it man, animal, or monster? Thoughts: So this is a reread. The first time I read it was last year mainly because of booktube recommendations and the movie was released in N

Mid Month Wrap up (Hous Pocus + #AYearAThon)

For the beginning of the month, I participated in two Readathons. So I will do a wrap up of those two first ones that ended on the 13th. The first one was HOCUS POCUS READATHON. The goal was to cast a Spell to become immortal. Goal accomplished! It consisted of 7 challenges out of them, 6 were reading related. Read a total of 6 books. In those the total pages read were 2,263 In average it represented 377.67 pages per book  Not bad for the first two weeks of the month but yeah most of the book were on the shorter side. The second readathon accomplished was #AYearAThon in which we had to read a thriller. In a very good coincidence, these two overlapped allowing me to use a book from the previous challenges to cover this one as well. For this readathon only one book was finished, Misery and this one contained 370 pages.
