Sunday Swoons | Sassy Spoof


Sunday Swoons is a weekly feature hosted by Briana @Reader, Writer, Critic and me on the wonders of romance in fiction. We talk about anything from our favorite couples to what kinds of food we think fictional couples are (Sue us, we're creative like that). This Sunday we're going with re-writing the titles of certain books to describe the main couple's relationship. OR, you can go for another option which is re-writing the first line of the blurb to describe the main couple better. Link-up! Have fun! Eat chocolate! And don't forget to check out Briana's post. :)


For a more detailed and complete list of rules, go here.

NOTE: We're not trying to steal from Cait's Honest YA's at all. Pinky promise. We could never compete with that ;) Having said that, go check them out. :)

Sassy Spoof

I'm not sure how this is going to go...as I have a questionable sense of humor BUT I'm gonna try. And you will pretend I'm funny. Right? Right???

If I make fun of a book it doesn't mean I hate it, in fact I might love it. I just like making fun of things. 

1.  

AKA Let's Fixate on Each Other.

Some of the metaphors Juliette uses are....kinda far out. I love this book but I read a review wherein the person who wrote the review ranted about the awful description that she just couldn't understand. And then she talked about Mafi's author's note (or whatever the heck it's called where you thank people) where she used a huge, unrealistic metaphor and the review writer was like SHE ACTUALLY TALKS LIKE THAT IN REAL LIFE? It just cracked me up.

2.  

AKA Which One is Better?

 Need I say more? To everyone who has read this, you understand. To everyone who has not, you don't want to understand. But I'll give you a hint-- love triangle.

3.   

AKA Kissing Makes Everything Better. 

4.   

AKA I See You...Out of the Corner of My Eye.

Okay, that's it for today. Hope you like and link up! If you have ideas for Sunday Swoons topics feel free to comment your idea below or tweet me and Briana or whatever way you feel most comfortable with. :)

      Right? ;) It's the one thing that I really didn't like (especially once it was pointed out by a few people).

Waiting on Wednesday {2}

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where you talk about books that you can't wait to read, but that are, unfortunately, not published yet.   In a Handful of Dust by Mindy McGinnis Publication date: September 23, 2014 Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books The only thing bigger than the world is fear. Lucy’s life by the pond has always been full. She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy’s childhood was very different from her own. Yet it seems Lucy’s future is settled already—a house, a man, children, and a water source—and anything beyond their life by the pond is beyond reach. When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what’s killing them now. Rumors of desalinization plants in California have lingered in Lynn’s mind, and the prospect of a “normal” life for Lucy sets the two of them on an epi

Book Haul + My First Guest Post (!)

Guys, guys, guys, guys. I did my very first guest post at Tansie Gray's blog Totally Tansie  and it was awesome collaborating with her! Tansie's blog is full of hilarious book reviews, rants, and writing tips. I had a great time writing the post: "10 Ways to Make Your Sister Mad"  I'd love it if you could pop over to Totally Tansie and check it out (And maybe leave a comment. Hint, hint). [][][][][][][][] I also went to my favorite used-books store last Sunday. I didn't get as many books as usual...Not many YA novels *gasp*. I felt unfulfilled. But I didn't want to spend what the books cost, so I snatched a few middle-grade types.  1. Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep by Gail Carson Levine A short fairytale re-telling of Sleeping Beauty in a funny, simple way. It's very  short. 107 pages short. 2.   The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan Book 2 of the Percy Jackson series! Now I can finally read it and see how it measures up to th

Airplanes and Sky

Remember when I talked about big travel things that I was going to do this summer? THE TIME. HAS. COME. IT IS HERE. YAY. As you can probably tell, I'm just a little excited. Me and my family are headed to Taiwan this summer for my uncle's wedding and since plane trips aren't really a regular thing for us, it'll be awesome.  If you know me even a little bit, you know that I love  traveling and gosh I'm just so excited to be able to be in and see another culture for a little while. *happy dance* Another reason I'm writing this is to tell you about how I get ready for major trips and whatever little tips I use to make traveling easier. Maybe they'll help you in a future trip. ^^ Any trip needs music, but especially one where there are multiple long layovers and a hugely long flight over the Pacific Ocean. I've been updating the music on my phone (music helps me sleep so much better too), which is fun and boring at the sa
