Read-a-thon status:

The last two books from the Mediator series were so much fun! And a bit heartbreaking

too, I guess. If I didn't know another one is coming, I'd be so sad for being unable to keep

up with Suze and the gang. But that ending... when I first read it I had no idea how Cabot

was going to solve things, and it was quite impressive, such a neat and clever solution.

Though the seeds could have been planted a bit earlier... As for today, I did read, only

it was a quick, skimming/re-read of A Great and Terrible Beauty. So, though I did

spend quite a bit of time reading, I won't count it for my yearly tally, for the

read-a-thon or for my reading challenges. I'm not sure if I'll be able to start

Rebel Angels tonight, but if I do, I'll update here tomorrow.

Challenge: Scavenger Hunt hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer

I am excited to be a host for the #WWreadathon. It’s time to dust off your Holmes hat, break out your Nancy Drew compass and grab your Scooby snacks. We are going on a Bookish Scavenger Hunt. Your task is to find as many of these objects on book covers as you can. Each item gains you an entry, and one winner will be chosen at random. Open internationally the winner will receive a book of their choose valued at 10.00 US dollars or less. Good luck and happy hunting!

a bird | bitten fruit | a lion | dominoes | shoes | fedora | a headless couple | crown/tiara | a sword | tree roots | a green dress | almost smooching | a cowboy | a witch | zombie | creepy house | an eye | a cat | large letters | blood

Have fun! To give you a little clue I found all of these items on Goodreads.  If you share your results on your blog leave a link below so I can see what you have found. Please do not leave book titles in comments. We want everyone to find their own titles. Remember to enter the books you found in the giveaway tool. Happy Hunting and reading!

Phew, this was slightly exausting. I mean it in a good way, because the cover hunt was fun, and many were quite easy to find... but it was maddening to look at so many covers to find one whose tree roots or fedora hat were just right. (What can I say, I'm a perfectionist. Small details wouldn't be able to be seen, so I wanted to pick a cover where these were a bit more obvious.)

Some of these are a bit more subjective, like the creepy house, so I chose one that looks creepy to me. Also, it's interesting how sometimes we never notice the details on covers. I'd never registered until now that this The Book Thief's cover has dominoes in it, and I must have seen it a hundred times. Well, here are my picks:

a bird | bitten fruit | a lion

dominoes | shoes | fedora

a headless couple | crown/tiara | a sword

tree roots | a green dress | almost smooching

a cowboy | a witch | zombie

creepy house | an eye | a cat

large letters | blood

Wow! Quite a variety of covers here... Well, that's it for the day. Happy reading!
