IÂ hope everyone has been reading lots! Today is the last day in Bout of Books and time to wrap up and finish all the books! To give you a break between all the reading here is a challenge for you to complete about the books you read this week ( or any books in general) This challenge can be one that you create a post for or even just participate on twitter so others can follow the hashtag! Now onto the challenge!
This challenge is called #insixwords ! The point of this challenge is to choose 2-3 books whether you read them this week, they are a few of your favorites or they were just the easiest ones to come up with something for. For these books you choose to use for this challenge, you must summarize/share your thoughts or feelings about the book in just six words! They can be funny or serious, positive or negative, it is all up to you! For me I struggle with making sense and understandable sentences with 140 characters so this proved to be quite difficult for me and I tried many different books before I was able to come up with some subpar #insixwords. I hope you have better luck and enjoy the challenge of conveying a book into only six words! (If you put them on twitter make sure to use the hashtag #insixwords, #boutofbooks, include the book you are using and if you would like tag me @downthebookhole! )
172 Hours on the Moon by Johan Harstad #insixwords ” Slow building terror with shocking ending”Â
Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman #insixwords ” A reminder of childhood and innocence”
How We Fall by Kate Brauning #insixwords “Taboo love story with mystery elements!”
White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L. Armentrout #insixwords ” Roth, hot crown prince of hell!” (so this one doesn’t give much into the book, but I do love me some Roth and was going to just repeat his name six times!)
Love and Other Unknown Variables by Shannon Lee Alexander #insixwords “Quirky, heartbreaking and humorously beautiful book”
Tithe by Holly Black #insixwords ” A dark and edgy faerie tale”
Frozen by Melissa De La Cruz #insixwords ” Great concept but poorly executed book”
Half A King by Joe Abercrombie #insixwords “Unique, Gripping and Action Packed Fantasy!”
The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater #insixwords “Swoon worthy boys with paranormal secrets”
(I think that is enough! I am really not good at this, but hope some of you come up with some amazingly awesome ones!)
Please let me know what you think of this challenge and link or comment about your creations or tag me on twitter (@downthebookhole)!

Sorry the post is quite long with all the updates so it needs a lot of scrolling.
Thanks for the challenge!
I liked that this didn’t take me a long time, so thanks for that. It was also kind of fun to think about what few words I would use to describe a book. 🙂 You can see mine on Tumblr.
