Start of Book Club Take Two

So this time we are for sure going to start. If you havn't signed up yet make sure to go do that so you can join all the fun before it's too late. Now to start off I want you all to go to the forum, sign up, and post your thoughts on your excpectations of the books and what you think will happen in it. Then start reading the book! It would also be really great if as you read you mark off quotes you really like and stuff you have questions on. There are pages on the forum to post those things too. I'm going to have a calendar up in a little bit to show you what will be happening in the next two weeks.

Now for this week's question:
How many books do you have on your 'to be read shelf’?
Well I don't have many books that I own that I havn't read but on my Goodreads account I have 145 books To be read and I am always adding more books on there. So as of the moment there is 145 but I'm pretty sure that by the end of the day it will be more.
How many books are oun your shelf??

Change of Book Club Start Date

Since I only had two people sign up for the book club I have decided that I am going to start the book club August 21st. So sign-up below and tell all of your friends about it. If you don't know what to books are about check out their pages on the sidebar. The more people that join the more fun it will be. Please comment if you sign up though because I have had the issue of some not going through and I want to make sure everyone is accounted for. I have some great things planned but we need participation for it to happen.

Re-create A Cover Challenge 3

So I found another re-create a cover challenge! This one is over at Trisha's Book Blog. The book is Coffeehouse Angel by Suzanne
Summary:
 When Katrina spots a homeless guy sleeping in the alley behind her grandmother’s coffee shop, she decides to leave him a cup of coffee, a bag of chocolate-covered coffee beans, and some pastries to tide him over. Little does she know that this random act of kindness is about to turn her life upside down. Because this adorable vagrant, Malcolm, is really a guardian angel on a break between missions. And he won’t leave until he can reward Katrina’s selflessness by fulfilling her deepest desire. Now if only she could decide what that might be .


My Cover:

 
Im not really sure about this cover fitting the book but I was having a hard time with it so I decided this one will have to work. What do you guyst think of it? I think it would be pretty sweet if I won since the prize is awesome.
Also over at Princess Bookie my You Wish cover made it to the third round! So go vote for your favorite one and maybe it will be mine :)

Recreate A Cover Challenge 2

This time the book is Losing Faith.

Summary:
When Brie's sister, Faith, dies suddenly, Brie's world falls apart. As she goes through the bizarre and devastating process of mourning the sister she never understood and barely even liked, everything in her life seems to spiral farther and farther off course. Her parents are a mess, her friends don't know how to treat her, and her perfect boyfriend suddenly seems anything but.


As Brie settles into her new normal, she encounters more questions than closure: Certain facts about the way Faith died just don't line up. Brie soon uncovers a dark and twisted secret about Faith's final night...a secret that puts her own life in danger

Here is my cover I made:

This Week's Question:
 Do you listen to music when you read? If so, what are your favorite reading tunes?

I don't always listen to music when I read, but I tend to do it a lot when Im in the car or trying to concentrate. My favorite tunes to listen to are usually the slower songs. Right now I like Always Midnight and Try from fame the most.


So do you listen to music when you read?
