Book Traveling Thursday (#41)|Yellow

June 29, 2017June 28, 2017Leave a comment

Hey everyone! It’s been months since I’ve posted. I guess this blog got pushed to the back burner. As a side note, on June 23rd, it was my blog’s 2 year anniversary. That’s definitely something to celebrate. Today I’m jumping back in with a Book Traveling Thursday! This wonderful weekly meme is hosted by Cátia @ The Girl Who Read Too Much. To find out more information, future themes and more, go to the meme’s Goodreads group here. Go check her out for a constant book blog. This week’s theme is:

Choose a book that has originally a yellow cover.

This should’ve been simple and straight forward but sadly it wasn’t. I finally settled on a book that I haven’t even read. That book is The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider.

Original Cover/Cover From My Country:

Favorite Cover(s):

French

This book has two titles, the second one being Severed Heads, Broken Hearts. That’s what this apparently translates to.

Indonesian

Początek wszystkiego Polish

Least Favorite Cover(s):

NONE 😀

That’s a wrap! I love the covers for this book! What is your favorite cover? Let me know!

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more blog posts!

Hey everyone! It’s time for Book Traveling Thursday! This meme is hosted by the wonderful Cátia @ The Girl Who Read Too Much and Danielle @ Danielle’s Book Blog! Go check their blogs out for bookish posts. To find out more information, future themes and more, go visit the meme’s Goodreads group here! This week’s theme is:

Here’s to different worlds… Choose a book set in a fictional world.

This theme actually made me smile. I only read fiction so this is literally every book I’ve read. I have decided to do Side Effects May Vary by Julie Murphy. This is one of the many reviews I need to do eventually. Let’s get started!

Original Cover/Cover From My Country (US):

There isn’t very many covers for this book. My favorite cover is the original one. It’s very simple yet eye-catching.

Least Favorite Cover:

Italian

I just had to single Italy out this week. The cover has a random person on it which is one of my book pet peeves. This was the only cover that was different from the original.

That’s a wrap! I apologize for the lack of covers this week. What book would you have chosen for this theme? Let me know!

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more Book Traveling Thursdays!!

Hey everyone! It’s time for the 38th Book Traveling Thursday! This weekly meme is hosted by the wonderful Cátia @ The Girl Who Read Too Much. Go check her blog out for all things bookish. To find out more information, future themes and more, go visit the meme’s Goodreads group here. This is the first BTT of 2017. This week’s theme is centered around new beginnings.

New beginnings… Choose a book you would like to read for the first time again.

There is so many books that I’ve already done that would be perfect for this. I have decided to do To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han. I’d love to be introduced to the characters all over again. I am absolutely in love with Jenny Han’s two books in the series.

Original/Cover From My Country (US):

Favorite Cover(s):

Vietnamese

Besides the original, this was the only different looking cover I enjoyed. Props to the creators of the Vietnamese cover!!

Least Favorite Cover(s):

Polish

This was the only cover I didn’t particularly like. It just doesn’t fit the book. Sorry Poland.

That’s a wrap! I thought this book would have a ton of covers. Most of them looked pretty similar to the original. These were the only two that didn’t. Hopefully the covers will be more diverse next week! What book would you read for the first time again?

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more Book Traveling Thursday!!

Hey everyone! It’s Thursday and that means it’s time for another Book Traveling Thursday. This weekly meme is hosted by these wonderful ladies: Cátia @The Girl Who Read Too Much and Danielle @ Danielle’s Book Blog. Kudos to them for creating this awesome meme 🙂 To find out more info, future themes and more, go to the meme’s Goodreads group here. This week’s theme is:

Tomorrow is World Smile Day! Choose a book that made you smile recently.

This was tough since I haven’t been reading too much recently. I decided to do The Odyssey by Homer. It’s a classic poem about a man named Odysseus and his travels. I recently finished this as a class read at school. It was fairly enjoyable and made me towards the end.

Original Cover/Cover From My Country (US):

No original cover. It’s ancient Greek story/poem so there’s no exact original cover.

There’s really no exact cover for my country!

Favorite Cover(s):

Arabic

Spanish

French

Greek (Modern)

The Spanish one is my favorite out of these because of the detail and the color.

Least Favorite Cover(s):

Spanish

German

Italian

Portuguese

What happened Portugal? Did you forget to make a cover?

There was n0 fantastic covers for this one. Have you read or heard of The Odyssey? Let me know what you thought!

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more Book Traveling Thursday!

Hey everyone! This is my first weekly meme in weeks! I’m so sorry for going MIA. Hopefully I’ll be able to schedule posts and get some amazing things out to you again. Book Traveling Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by the amazing Catia @ The Girl Who Reads Too Much and Danielle @ Danielle’s Book Blog.

Choose a book that you think it should be a classic in a few years.

I’ve done so many books already that definitely should be classics. I’m going to do The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. I haven’t read this book and know it’s probably already a classic. I couldn’t think of any potential classics that I hadn’t done. Enjoy the covers and ignore the theme 🙂

Original Cover/Cover From My Country (US):

Favorite Cover(s):

Dutch

Turkish

Finnish

Polish

My favorite cover out of these is the Finnish cover because it’s simple but leaves a lot of mystery. You really have no idea what the book will be about based on the cover.

Least Favorite Cover(s):

Danish

Spanish

French

German

My least favorite out of these is the German one. Again, I haven’t read the book but what the heck Germany?!

That’s a wrap! Do you recommend this book if you’ve read it? What is your favorite and least favorite covers? Let me know!

Thanks for sticking around while I’m figuring out how to balance life and stay tuned for more!

In honor of Fall Tv, do a tv-themed topic! Top ten favorite tv shows of all time, ten new shows coming out this Fall that are on my radar, tv shows I wish never got cancelled, tv shows I would recommend to book characters, books I wish would be tv shows, ten favorite shows from the late 90’s or early 2000’s, ten tv shows for every fantasy lover, etc.

I have decided to do 5 new shows on my radar and 5 of my favorites.

5 New Shows On My Radar:

This is Us- Starts September 20th

A show about three separate stories that may or may not intertwine. The first about a couple expecting triplets. The second is about an obese women who is struggling to lose weight. And finally, a guy who finds his father. This show looks so heartwarming and amazing.

2. Kevin Can Wait- Starts September 19th

Kevin James returns to CBS as a police officer. I loved Kevin in Mike and Molly so I can’t wait to see how he is in his own show!

3. Bull-Starts September 20th

A show about inspired by the early career of Dr. Phil McGraw. It’s more of a law/court centered show. It looks so interesting.

4. Timeless-Starts October 3rd

A dramatic time traveling TV show. Time is changed and messed with. These people must save history. It looks absolutely amazing!

5. Man With A Plan- Starts October 24th

A TV show with Matt LeBlanc who was in Friends. I loved seeing reruns of that show (I’m so young lol) and can’t wait to see how he is alone.

5 Of My Favorite TV Shows Now:

Bones

Forensics based show that’s on Friday nights.

2. Fuller House

A reboot on the well-known show Full House. Only on Netflix

3. The Big Bang Theory

A funny show about friends who are very smart and love science.

4. Big Brother

A competitive reality show that’s normally during the summer.

5. America’s Got Talent

A show all about showing your talent.

National Book Lovers Day was two days ago… choose a book you think every book lover should read.

As always there are lots of books that would fit this book that I’ve already done. I have chosen to do Every Day by David Levithan. It’s a topsy-turvy book with lots of twists and turns. A great book for a day at home or the beach.

German

French

Out of these, my favorite is the German one. It shows several heads that all look very different. You can tell that each head/person have their own personalities. Overall it’s very creative.
