Book Blogger Love-a-Thon // Mini Challenge #4: Mash-Up


We were very excited for this challenge because we already had the perfect idea for it. Our idea was to mix fashion with books. We thought that it would be perfect since fashion seems to be far from books though there are books about fashion. Aside from fashion, we also had the idea of mixing our love for food with our love for books. We had a really hard time in deciding which one we should use so in the end we decided to do both.


First, we will write about fashion and books mashed-up. How did we choose to do this? Well, we decided to choose a character and an outfit of hers that we would want to wear too. The character we have chosen is Lola from Lola and The Boy Next Door. She has a very quirky fashion sense. We believe that fashion isn't about wearing nice, expensive, and branded clothes but about expressing who you are through what you wear. Lola does exactly that and is proud of it.


We all admire her for not being afraid to go beyond what other people believe is normal. We would want to wear the outfit that she planned to wear to her prom. She wasn't just going to buy it, she was actually gonna make it. From scratch. She wanted to make a Marie Antoinette-type dress. Just imagining it made us want to steal the dress and go to prom wearing it. There are a lot of other fashionable characters out there and we respect them just as much as we do Lola. Remember that fashion is about who you are and not about who people want you to be.


Our next choice is food. We just LOVE eating! We eat when we're happy, sad, angry, excited, scared, and basically any other emotion. We even eat just because we're bored. How do you even connect food with books? We guess it's how, like food, books can be sweet, bitter, or bitter-sweet. There is also the recipe to a perfect book. Like creating a new dish, you can create a new book. You can use unique themes with unique characters and plots. You can also choose to use a "recipe" in making a book. Meaning, you already have a basis for what the book should be. It could be a cliché but approached differently. It can be the same recipe just treated differently depending on the author and/or cook. Just like the fact that there are no books that are exactly the same, there is no dish that is the exactly the same with a different one. Every book and every dish is unique.

What about you? What else are you passionate about aside from books? What's your hobby mash-up? :)

Book Blogger Love-a-Thon // Mini Challenge #3: Mad Libs


For our third mini challenge, here is a mad lib! We really had fun doing this, and we were laughing the whole time. 

One day, I was eating with Sam Henry. Out of the blue, a sloth came out of nowhere! It was slow, green and huge. At first, we were afraid, we were petrified but we survived. We hopped on a hovercraft to make our getaway. 

As we escaped, we turned up the radio because Timber by Ke$ha came on and made me fall. Everything was extremely smooth sailing until a frog appeared in the middle of the road. We swerved to avoid it, but while Sam Henry stayed on the hovercraft, I got thrown unto my side in the woods. 

I couldn't get up, and felt drunk as I lay there staring up at the trees. What was I going to do? I heard a quack among the leaves and felt terrified. Surely, this was going to be my end. As my eyes fluttered shut, the last thing I saw was a head of brown hair and blue eyes. 

When I woke up again, I was on a refrigerator. My body hurt a whole lot less and I could sit up. There was a meerkat and orangutan in the room, along with pizza and beer. The door suddenly opened to reveal Augustus Waters, a concerned look on his face. I blushed and averted my gaze, but he danced and said, "Don't be shy. It's okay." 

He came over to sit by me, and we started talking after I told him my name. We chatted about eating, sleeping and blogging and realized we had a ton in common! I thought he was crazy and couldn't help feeling a little swoony. 

Just as he reached out for my hand, the door crashed open and in came Peeta Mellark. "Don't let him charm you away, my love!" He yelled, running at Augustus. They each had spoons and spatulas in their hands and began to fight. "Stop!", I yelled, feeling so bored. They didn't listen to me. Before I could intervene, Augustus fell to the floor and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. 

"What was that?" I asked, staring at the empty space. Peeta dropped his weapons, and came over to me. "Magic, but you are safe now, butter." He hugged me close, and I suddenly knew that this was the real deal and not just a dream. 

Just as Want U Back by Cher Lloyd started playing in my head, I woke up. I cursed my awesome luck. Why had it only been just a dream? 



Book Blogger Love-a-Thon // Mini Challenge #2: Book Valentines


In this challenge, we are going to make a love letter to our book boyfriend. We don't think that words are enough to describe the most perfect guy in the world (even though he's a fictional character). Like we've said before, we're a bit late into this Loveathon thing and had some problems with the Internet, so we're posting this late (and we don't care if the link up is closed because this mini challenge is just so fun and awesome!:) )

Dear The Boy With the Bread,


You are all our (Kimi Beryl and Audrey) book boyfriend. We've argued about who gets to have you the whole day, and we've decided to just share because sharing is caring, right?

You are our book boyfriend. Wanna know why?

Because Peeta Mellark, you are a wonderful wonderful human being, and we thank you for existing. (Actually we thank Suzanne Collins for creating you) We swooned every time you showed how much you love Katniss (and also cried silently in jealousy). We cried when the capitol did the thing (which we do not want to remember) to you in Mockingjay. We stayed strong with you when you were trying to make sense of what was real or not.



You taught us that men can be gentle and loving and kind. You showed us the beauty of life, in your words and actions. But more importantly, you gave us hope - hope that life can become better despite all the terrible things in the world. We adore you so much that we can't think of The Hunger Games without you there. Too bad you're already taken. *sobs*

Even though we seem like creepy stalkers to you, you should remember that stalkers care. They care about everything you do. Remember, we will be here, waiting. With a cake. That we have baked. FOR YOU.

We love you, real or not real?

Real.

P.S. Team Peeta forever!

Love,
Kimi, Beryl and Auds
