Chicken Challenge Wrap Up!

Hey everyone and welcome back to my blog! I'm Genni, and today I'll be wrapping up November's month long Chicken Challenge. The Chicken Challenge is hosted by Lys @ the Mad Reader!

My TBR for the Chicken Challenge included:

A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet 
Survive the Night by Danielle Vega
Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol
An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

If you participated in the Chicken Challenge next year, make sure to link your wrap up! I'd love to know how you guys did. Though I'm disappointed that I didn't get to all the books I wanted, I didn't think I would be able to. Hopefully I will be more successful the next year!

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post!

Happy Reading!

Chicken Challenge Tag!

This month I have been participating in the Chicken Challenge, which is hosted by Lys @ The Mad Reader. She just relocated her blog to here!

Name a book that scared you!
I don't read scary books or thrillers that often. But if I had to choose, I'd go with Illuminae by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman! Illuminae is not really a thriller, but it does get really intense after a while. There is this great scene where Cady is going through an abandoned ship that is littered with zombies. I was pretty scared for Cady the whole time I was reading that scene!

What is the funniest prank you've pulled?
I actually haven't pulled a prank! I'm a goody-two shoes! Haha.

Share a spooky/ghost story
I don't know if this is spooky, but it did frighten me! Over the summer, I finished up watching Hannibal, a NBC show focused on Hannibal Lector. The finale was disturbing, to say the least. That night, I had a nightmare of cannibals eating me alive; I could feel them! I woke up to my own screams. Needless to say, it was a rough night of sleep!


What's the scariest movie you've watched?
I would have to say The Shining. I watched The Shining at a pretty young age, and just recently watched it again last year. The movie creeps me out to no end. I'd be screwed if my dad became evil like Jack did. American Horror Story does come to mind as well. Even though it's not a movie, it is scary and creepy! I couldn't get through Freak Show because I was so creeped out. This seasons though, Roanoake, is great. I'm loving and it's scaring the wits out of me weekly!

What is your dream costume?
I have another bad answer for this! There is not really an iconic character that I have always dreamed about dressing up as. Maybe I'll figure it out by Halloween, but it doesn't seem like it! 

Weirdest thing you've eaten?
I'm normally am up for anything, but I can't say I've eaten anything weird per say. I've eaten just about anything you can find in a small town. I have had a ghost pepper though, and that's one of the hottest peppers around. 
 

If you were a fictional villain, who would you be and why? 
I always like villains that have some background and morals. When a villain is just pure evil, I feel like they have no depth. The villain I choose for this question had the right intention (in a way) but made all the wrong decisions. He does have a shot of redemption though! I chose AIDAN from Illuminae!

So that was the Chicken Challenge Tag! Once again, check out Lys' blog for all Chicken Challenge details.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post!

Chicken Challenge TBR!

This month I am participating in the Chicken Challenge, which is hosted by Lys @ The Mad Reader! If you want to check out the challenges for this month, you can check them out here! I'm really looking forward to participating in this challenge! Not only have I not participated in a challenge in a really long time, but this is the perfect opportunity to read more spooky books!

Here is my TBR! Keep in mind, I am horrible at keeping TBRs, so I might switch up my picks. However, I will still complete the challenges!

1) A Book with Orange on the Cover

A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet
This is a new fantasy release that has fabulous reviews! I haven't read a high fantasy in a while, and this is the perfect opportunity to do so! Most importantly, there is a good amount of orange of the cover. This is one of the books that I am highly anticipating reading this month. 

2) A Very Popular Spooky Book 

Survive the Night by Danielle Vega
I don't know for sure if this is a really popular book or not, but I still want to read it! This is a story about a couple of girls being hunted in the NYC subway system in the middle of the night. If that isn't spooky, then I don't know what is it!

3) A Book With a Ghost In It

Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol
I'm trying to get more into graphic novels, and Anya's Ghost seems like a good one! It is a coming of age story, and I'm for a story of self acceptance. My sister has read this one and loved it, so I hope I feel the same way!

4) A Book I'm Scared To Read

An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
I'm scared to read An Ember in the Ashes for the sole reason that I don't want it so not meet my expectations. I've met Sabaa, and I absolutely adored her! An Ember in the Ashes was a favorite last year, and I'm desperately hoping that it will be the same for me. 

And that is my TBR for the Chicken Challenge! What are some of your favorite spooky reads? What scary books are you planning to read this October?

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post!

Happy Reading!
