Have to think on this one. A book based on the cover- does that mean you read it because you liked the cover?

Yep! A cover that catches your eye and intrigues you know I read it :D

Woohoo! Okay so # 4 is changed :) no biggie

Just realised to switched the order! Lucky I did!! I pretty much have free choice with number four now! I'll admit Im big on noticing books by their covers :-/

Well, I thought there wasn't much books published this year yet to tackle that topic so it needed to be changed :D

I like these ones, this is fun so far :D

A book that became a movie - Something Borrowed
A book based on its cover - If I Break

Now may be the time for me to read

Both great choices Sara and Tracy since I loved both those movies but have only read The Notebook. Not sure what I'm going to choose but I'm swaying towards but not too sure about number 4 yet…there's so many books with gorgeous covers that are enticing

I'm not sure about 4 either. I'm sure I'll find something.

Good one Tracy. Loved this book but haven't seen the movie yet. Don't want to cry again over it.

Loved this book too Sylvia. Planning on watching the movie now that it's out on DVD. Heard all good things about it. The second book was even better.

Glad to hear that too

You won't have problems finding one I'm sure, there are so many fantastic covers.

I haven't seen it either. When this book came out my mom had cancer so I was a little afraid of reading it but I think it will be OK now.

There are MANY awesome covers. I think that's the problem. To many choices.

We are definitely spoilt for choices

It would of been extremely difficult to read it at that time in your life but I think you'd be okay now. It's never easy reading these tearjerkers

Okay gals, I'm definitely going to read for #3 but which one should I read for #4…help me decide? or

I love the cover of Evertrue Sylvia. I tried to read it once but wasn't in the mood I guess.

Ohhhh very pretty covers Sylvia, I like the cover for A Thousand Pieces of You. I plan on reading it too

Tracy wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "Okay gals, I'm definitely going to read for #3 but which one should I read for #4…help me decide? or [bookcover:A Thousan..."

I still need to read book 2 for Everneath. I think that's the name of it LOL!

Book that became a movie: Coraline - Neil Gaiman:01/18/15

Bokk based on cover: Attachments - Rainbow Rowell: 01/21/15

I may read for this one.

I finally saw the movie for yesterday and it was very good :)

Since Ivan isn't long enough I will decide between or . I have been drawn to Torn for a long time but then I remember the first book and it was OK for me but not great. I think Captured's cover is beautiful though.

A Book That Became A Movie:

A Book Based Entirely On It's Cover:

I've been wanting to see that! Is it weird that I find the guy who plays Adam ridiculously attractive?

Tracy wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "Okay gals, I'm definitely going to read for #3 but which one should I read for #4…help me decide? or [bookcover:A Thousan..."

I need to finish the series so I have been leaning towards Evertrue but like you, I don't know if I'm in the mood lol

Belkis wrote: "Sylvia wrote: "Okay gals, I'm definitely going to read for #3 but which one should I read for #4…help me decide? or [bookcover:A Thousan..."

It does sound very interesting hmmmm, decisions, decisions!!

I think for this challenge I'm going to read for a book turned into a movie. I used to adore that book when I was little and haven't read it since I was about 13 so hopefully I'll love it just as much as an adult.

For a book based on a cover I think it's got to be .

Oh he is very attractive ;) the movie was very well done. I highly recommend it.

This week I'm reading The Fellowship of the Ring for my book that became a movie and The Night Circus for my book based on the cover. I'm SUPER excited about the books I've chosen for this week. Somehow I've survived 25 years without having my nerd card revoked for not having read The Lord of the Rings books. So I figured it's time :)

I have, too. I've change my mind for both topics twice. I think I got the ones I want now, though. :-)

Okay, last time I change my mind. I promise. :-)

I have changed my mind a few times to Savannah.

Tracy wrote: "I have changed my mind a few times to Savannah."

Unfortunately, we only have 7 days to read both books, so I hope it doesn't change again! :-)

HAHA Savannah, you're right.

I finished my movie book yesterday and it was very good. I'm halfway done with and it's great so far.

I'm almost done with my cover book then going to start my movie book.

Decided to go with for my cover book … loving it so far!!

I finished and it's absolutely beautiful and a must read to all those who have read If I Stay ahem, I'm looking at you, Tracy!!

Sylvia wrote: "I finished and it's absolutely beautiful and a must read to all those who have read If I Stay ahem, I'm looking at you, Tracy!!"

Oh yay! It's so so beautiful and yes, Tracy needs to read it LOL!

Nearly finished and I'm in love with it!

I'm almost done with my movie book, , and then onto my cover book, . I forgot how ridiculous the movie is compared to the book; Rick Riordan went into a lot of detail when he described how his characters looked, for example, Annabeth Chase was described as having blond hair and grey eyes like the sea as her mother, the goddess Athena, is described as having in numerous accounts (the grey eyes, not he blond hair), but in the movie, Annabeth has dark brown, almost black, hair and blue eyes. Casting directors need to stop trying to pick people that they think are prettier and start picking actors because they look like the characters are described in the books. Stay canon, sometimes! :-)

I see you Sylvia. I have it on hold at the library so when they get it I will read it. However, I am reading TFiOS which is a tear jerker so if Where She Went makes me cry you guys better have big shoulders.
