The 15th Hour Challenge

 

Welcome to My Little Pocketbooks 

15th Hour Challenge!

This awesome read-a-thon is hosted by DEWEY'S 24 HOUR READ-A-THON

Right now it's 9:00 pm Central Time and 7:00pm here is Los Angeles, California.

How are you feeling?  Feeling a little sleepy.

 

 Well...You have been reading for 15-ish hours now.  And more than half of your food reserve is gone.  So the 9 hour stretch would look a little bit long.  But think of this...you passed the half way mark and you are almost there. 

Would a Challenge get your blood flowing again?  Get you motivated?  

What about an easy challenge with a BIG return?  

That's what I thought!  

Casting Couch #4

April has been a crazy busy month for me.  ARGH! Life is trying to get in the way of my reading and that is so not cool.  NOT COOL AT ALL!  I was planning on finishing more books than I actually read this month but...you know.  Honestly, I am glad April's over and I am sooo ready for a slower May.  So as my busy month comes to an end, I am only casting two books.  More next month.  Hopefully!  Fingers crossed!

Casting Couch #3

As a part of my new blog resolutions, I decided to add a new monthly post called "The Casting Couch".  The Casting Couch is my monthly post were I will be "fun" casting a few of the books I have reviewed this month.  This is only my dream cast and or possible cast and has nothing to do with the actual actors that were cast in the movie versions.  I just wanted to let you know who I was seeing in my head as I was reading a few of these books. Click on the actors name to read their resumes. 

So have a seat on the couch and let the actors show you their stuff...

Casting Couch: Waterdancer by Samantha Combs

In a perfect world the authors of the books we read and love would be able to cast the movie or television version of their books.  I mean it makes sense to me since they know the character better than anyone else.  The authors live, eat, breathe, sleep with their characters for months and sometimes years.  Today Samantha Combs the author of Waterdancer is going to cast her book here.  Check out some of her picks.

 

As if high school isn’t hard enough, try being Bailey Wasserman. Try being the new girl in town, navigating a touchy relationship with your flighty mom’s rich new husband in a brand new town he’s just moved you to. Add to that finding out that your father, a semi-pro surfer who’s just mysteriously re-entered your life after nearly fifteen years of silence, is half sea-creature and you’re about to inherit that particular gene on your sixteenth birthday which is only a few days away, all after you just met the cutest surfer boy you’ve ever seen in your life.

Bailey feels she and her mom have always met life’s challenges as a team of two, more like best friends than mother and daughter. But her mom’s recent marriage has changed all that. Having her little brother Landry is all Bailey can find good about that union. The move to wealthy Del Mar from their humble beginnings has turned Bailey sour, until a chance meeting of surf hottie Jack West changes all that. Then, when her father reenters her life, with his annoying Zen-surfer lingo and a talking turtle he claims is her spirit guardian, no less, he threatens the only relationship Bailey thinks is working in her world. She soon finds out that’s not all his arrival will do. His presence and their shared family trait could ultimately force Bailey to make a decision that will alter the course of her own life and those she loves…..forever.
