5 Book Challenge | Post-Apoctolyptic Edition

 5 books you would want with you as the end of the world is coming! Here is the scenario! I hope you enjoy the challenge!

It is 11:00 PM on a Sunday night. You are laying in bed thinking about all of the things you must do the next day. Tasks of the coming days consume your thoughts and while your mind is somewhere else you are caught off guard by a flash in the sky that is followed by a large wailing screech that pierces the air and shatters your bedroom window. Slowly you move to the window and what you see catches your breathe and causes you to stumble back a few steps. The aliens (at least you think they are aliens) have began to enter the city and destroy everything that is in their path. Through the window your view is consumed with destruction, screaming people and large flames that are dancing across the city at a fast pace. You notice that the creatures are heading in your direction and you realize you probably have about fifteen minutes before they reach your home. That means you have only about ten minutes to gather your belongings and escape before you are caught in the attack from the aliens invading the city.

1. Lux: Beginnings (Obsidian & Onyx) (A Lux Novel)

Haven't read it yet but heard it is really good.  Plus it's on the top of my book shelf so very easy to grab.

2. Under the Dome: A Novel by Stephen King

Haven't read it yet but it's one of the fat books on my shelf that will take a long time to read through.

3. Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

Just purchased this book and it's very easy to get to quickly.  I just finished reading Maybe Someday and it was really good.  I tend to like to read by authors. 

4.  A Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book One by George R.R. Martin

Another long book that I'd like to read and since I will be on the run maybe I would have time to read it.

5. The Complete Harry Potter Collection by J.K. Rowling

This maybe cheating but since I just purchased this and it's right in front on my bookshelf and I am so wanting to read them and haven't done so yet.  It maybe hard running with this and the other 4 books but hey I'd try.

Why? Obessing over filofax.... not in mood to read!

You must link four books by using the last word of the previous title to the first word of the next one. To start, pick a book (ANY book; your choice!) and start linking! A, An, and The don't count, so if your book starts with one of those, just use the next word. To make this challenge tougher, you can decide to only use books you've read within the last twelve months - but that's not a requirement.

A Trace of Memory (The Defenders)

The Memory Keeper's Daughter

Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke and Bone Book 1)

Why? Not liking Ready Player One.  Too many descriptions.  

Create a Sentence Challenge and Giveaway

For this challenge, I want you to pick some awesome books out and make a sentence with the first two words from each of your books.  I have tried this myself and it can be a little tricky because the lack of verbs in the first two words of the book.  Therefore, you can add another word that is not from the first two words of the books if you wish.  The more ridiculous, the better. 

I Remember My Mother After A One Summer Somebody Stabbed The Butterfly.

For this sentence, I used the following books: 

• Earthbound by Aprilynne Pike
• Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
• Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
• Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz
• Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover
• Anywhere by Jon Robinson
