Wrap Up Photo Album Challenge
We're giving you a heads-up on what the final challenge of the
read-a-thon will be so you get the chance to prepare. We want to know
about the places you read this summer, if you went on vacations to a
nice place, the beach or a nice reading place in your home. For your
last post we want you to show us some pictures of these places, you
don't have to be in the pictures. So pick up your books and pick up your
cameras for the week, we're looking forward to see your reading places
:)
I didn't go anywhere fun this summer, except for a book signing. I hope you don't mind me drawing upon old photos to submit in the Album Challenge.
ReplyDeleteAlana's Wrap-Up of Read-a-Thon @DarkObsessionChronicles
Yeah that is fine. Your photos were great. A book signing is awesome! I should really try to go to more. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love your Sponge Bob pillow---and so would my son! And I love your pool! Except, I'd probably read on the deck instead...too afraid to get my pages wet! LOL. Thanks for sharing and for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteZara Alexis @ The Bibliotaphe's Closet
LOL Yeah I only read in the pool when I am by myself. If my family and friends come in then I don't cause they splash. I don't take my kindle in! But I do read on the floaty. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYour reading places (and your little reading buddies) are awesome! I love the Spongebob pillow and blanket...I currently have 15-year-old Minnie Mouse sheets and pillowcase on my bed but was too embarrassed to take a picture...now I wish I had! lol
ReplyDeleteHere's my wrap-up and photo album challenge post: http://sweetmarie-83.blogspot.ca/2012/08/summer-wrap-up-read-thon-recap-photo.html
Minnie Mouse rocks! Don't be ashamed. I learned early to let my freak flag fly! LOL Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThanks so much for hosting the Wrap-Up Read-a-Thon! I was able to finish so many books I have been needing to read!
ReplyDeleteHere is my final update with my pictures: http://paulettespapers.com/?p=2354
Great job and thanks so much for joining in! I hope you had fun and so glad you got so much reading done.
DeleteScruffy is so cute! I didn't reach my goal of reading 4 books but i did read 3 books. I wasn't really happy about it but it's better than reading none.
ReplyDeleteHere's my wrap-uppost.
Yeah Scruffy is adorable. He is a giant furball literally. He doesn't groom so we have to trim his fur lol I only read 3 books too but it's okay. Just as long as you had fun! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteHaha I love the spongebob stuff my sister is obsessed with his stuff. Slongebob trashcan, toothbrush, bedding, alarm clock, and she even has four spongebob plushies (which she sleep with in her spongebob pjs). It's her deepest darkest secret and she would die if I told her friends. Looks like you had a exciting time this summer. Keep cool!
ReplyDeleteI had a Spongebob bathroom. Spongebob soap, shower curtain, rugs, towels, wall decor, everything! I love it! I have PJs too! I had some sexy silky ones even lol Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI had the best time on this read-a-thon! Here is my wrap up post
ReplyDeletehttp://bookbriefs.blogspot.com/2012/08/my-wrap-up-post-swur.html
it looks like you had the perfect pool day in the pool picture! :)
So glad you had fun! You did great! I had a fun week but didn't read as much as I wanted to because of my rafting trip. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteMy recap! http://respiring-thoughts.blogspot.com/2012/08/summer-wrap-up-read-thon-recap.html
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting!!!
Thanks for participating and stopping by!
DeleteI did a wrap up post but not a photo album.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to next summer!
That's great too! Thanks for stopping by and participating!
DeleteI wanted to get more done too but life does get in the way. Happy with the 3 books I read and hopefully I can finish What's Left of Me soon. I have a million reviews to write though :-/ I LOVE Spongebob. I'm a true kid at heart. I love my little ghetto pool. It's better than nothing. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I promise to join you next time. And yes I know you hate books where love interest dies. Uh, Logan...
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Logan Keeley will live on in the hearts of millions. And Zach fell off a cliff. The end!
DeleteHope you have a great week too! :-)
The cats <3
ReplyDeleteI love them although they are a pain sometimes. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThanks so much for co hosting this read-a-thon. It was my first and I really enjoyed it. I love your photos and your rafting story, it made laugh!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had fun! haha yeah the rafting was scary but afterward as I started telling the story I was laughing. I'll be back next year and try to beat that rapid. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love your kitties! I'm a major cat lover. Looks like you had a lot of fun. Rafting on the rapids? You're a brave soul. And yes, it's nice when you can have a pool in your own yard. Thanks for co-hosting the read-a-thon and for stopping by my blog...and following. I'm following you back!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Kitties! I've had a bunch all my life. Yeah kind of brave but it was fun. A good workout too! I love having a pool. Thanks for stopping by and following.
DeleteHad so much fun with this! I can't wait for the next one! :D Here's my wrap-up post. Didn't get everything read that I wanted to, but I'm still calling it a success. =) (And hopefully next time I'll have more time to participate in the challenges!)
ReplyDeleteYeah I didn't read everything either but all progress is a success! Glad you enjoyed yourself! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI'm glad to see you finished Cursed. I'm still not sure if I want to get that on or not. I read a lot more than I was expecting, too.
ReplyDeletehttp://booksandcollege.blogspot.com/2012/08/wrap-up-for-summer-wrap-up-read-thon.html
Cursed was good. I read it right after Unravel Me though and they have similar ideas so that kind of was a bad idea. Glad you got lots of reading done. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love your animals <3 And oh, Spongebob! ;P
ReplyDeleteHere is my post!
Thanks! And thanks for participating and stopping by!
DeleteThat's a good price for that pool...I really oughta get one. And look at all the kitties!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah it was originally $400 on sale for $200 at Toys R Us! It comes with the pump, tarp, ladder, and cleaning stuff. It is a great deal! I've seen some at Walmart for $800! They might be a little bigger but this one is pretty good size! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love the Spongebob pillow and blanket :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Spongebob! I used to have my whole bathroom decorated like Bikini Bottom lol Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteHey, I'm 41 and I have Disney Princess pillows and a fleece blanket. I keep those on the couch in the basement for reading and movie watching. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for co-hosting the RAT. I really liked that it spanned two weekends.
YAY! Forever young at heart! I love it. I love tweety bird and How To Train Your Dragon too! I have a Toothless doll! lol Thanks for participating! Yeah we were going to do a weekend one but I like to have more time to read cause sometimes there are days I can't. Glad you enjoyed it!
DeleteI have a Nemo pillow and I love it. He's been with me for years, and now I'm nineteen. My father was ready to throttle me if I ever read while lying in bed, so I never use Nemo. But your Spongebob pillow looks comfy :D
ReplyDeleteAnd your cats are sooo adorable!
Thank you for hosting SWUR, Jennifer :) I had my fun
I LOVE Nemo too! I have a friend that has a bad memory and we call her Dori. Spongebob helps me read. Very comfy! My kitties are adorable! ;-) Thanks for stopping by! I'm glad you had fun.
DeleteGreat album, it looks like you had a lot of fun :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Some fun and some scaryness but it was all good in the end. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWow, that looks fun, reading while floating in the pool. ;) And I love how your cats seem to be big fans of reading, ehehe. :D
ReplyDeleteFloating is so relaxing! I love to read in the pool. I need to see if I can get a waterproof case for my kindle. My cats have to be big fans of reading. I always use them for pics! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI'm so jealous of the pool for lounging and reading in! I also love how your cats hang out with you when you read, mine just lays between me and my book!..lol
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I try to do anything my cats always have to be all up in my business! LOL I love reading in the pool! It's too hot right now to read outside but in the pool works to keep me cool. It's been over 100 this past week :-/ Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteKITTIES!! Is it terrible that all I wanna do is come over and play with your cats? LMAO
ReplyDeleteAnd Nice! We can't take you anywhere without you mooning someone (teehee)
Love the photos!
-Becky
My kitties would love you to come play with them. They love attention. HAHA Well the rapid was extremely fast and strong so my bottoms were being pushed off. I was just trying to stay afloat so I could care less who saw my butt. I did grab them so I wouldn't lost them but I couldn't pull them up cause I had to swim! Fun though! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYou read the most awesome books during that readathon! and read in the most perfect places, i am SO jealous!! I really want to read Cursed and Unravel me! I have What's left of me to review and i cannot wait to review it. I love your blog! :) x
