Summer Wrap-Up Read-a-thon Cover Scavenger Hunt Challenge!


Hey Everyone again!

So like I mentioned before I am participating in the Summer Wrap-Up Read-a-Thon!

For today's challenge...

Wickedly Bookish is hosting the Cover Scavenger Hunt!

Here is the list of items we are supposed to find on book covers:
Sun
A teeny bikni
Beach umbrella
Sandcastle
Oceanscape or a beach scene
Sunflower
An American flag (4th of July)
Lemonade/Iced Tea
Sunset
Sailboat
Camping equipment (tent, sleeping bag, etc.)
Sunglasses
Swimming Pool
Sun bather
Picnic 

It took quite a bit of hunting, but I've managed to find all the covers that contain these items! And even though we are allowed to repeat covers, I was able to find all DIFFERENT covers!! :)
 
So here goes:
 
Sun:
Illuminated by Erica Orloff, see the sun in between the guy's lips??!!

A Teeny Bikini:
The Au Pairs (The Au Pairs, #1)
 
 The Au Pairs by Melissa de la Cruz.

A Beach Umbrella:
Cross my Heart by Sandra Byrd: I LOVED this book back when I read this about 10 years ago.  Such a cute summer book for young readers!

Sandcastle:


When a Dragon Moves In by Jodi Moore.  This looks super cute!!

Oceanscape or Beach scene:


That Summer by Sarah Dessen (another awesome book by Sarah Dessen!)

Sunflower:
The Summer of Hammers and Angels by Shannon Wiersbitsky (this book has been on TBR list for a while now!)

An American Flag:

America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction by Jon Stewart

Lemonade/Ice Tea:
The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies


Sunset:
 Dreamless by Josephine Angelini (I still really need to read Starcrossed!!)

Sailboat:
I actually found two for this one:


  Unbreak My Heart  by Melissa Walker

And if that one is acceptable, then I also found:

A Message in a Bottle by Nicholas Sparks (this is a gorgeous book!!)

Camping Equipment:
 Amelia Bedelia Goes Camping by Peggy Parish (this is a cute children's series!  I read these sometimes to the kids at the school where I volunteer at)

Sunglasses:
 Farsighted by Emlyn Chand (I will admit, I'm not a huge fan of this cover.  It sort of freaks me out!  But I've heard some great things about this book!)

Swimming Pool:
 The Swimming Pool by Holly LeCraw

Sun Bather:
All I Want is Everything (A Gossip Girl Novel) by Cecily Von Zeigeiser (this actually has TWO sunbathers! ;) )

Picnic:
 
 The Teddy Bears Picnic by Jimmy Kennedy (does anyone else remember singing this elementary school??)

Here's to refresh your memory!

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnects with succe

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo Cabret I didn't have to imagine.  T

The Cassandra Clare Experience that I ALMOST Missed!! (PLUS INTERNATIONAL GIVEAWAY!!!)

Hey Everyone! Can I just say I had one of the most amazing nights Friday night!! So rewind.... Let's start from the beginning... Once upon a time my fabulous mom and I went on a little road trip.  We left at 1:00 p.m. the house, with directions in hand that told us it would take about 2 hrs. and 20 minutes to get there. Well, thanks to the beautiful view of Los Angeles traffic, and the most crappy directions EVER, it took almost SIX hours to get there!!!!!!!!!! No freaking joke!!! Mapquest SKIPPED a step on the directions so we ended up going on the wrong freeway, and getting over an hour off track!! Thanks to wonderful lady at A Whale of a Tale Bookshoppe , who had the technology needed to actually travel, not just paper directions, we were able to find our way back on track!! The event was supposed to start at 6 p.m., and we didn't arrive at the Mission Viejo Library until almost 7. When my mom and I drove into the parking lot of the library, do you know wha
