Thoughts:
Realistically, 1/3 of my haul is books I’m borrowing. Blogger friendships have been kind to me–thanks Amanda (blog @ Brains, Books, and Brawn).
The Book Blogger Love-A-Thon is a blogging event hosted by Alexa @ Alexa Loves Books, Cee @ The Novel Hermit, Hazel @ Stay Bookish, and Mel @ The Daily Prophecy.
The difficult thing about these book haul spine poetry posts is being creatively limited to the hauled titles and when you only have a handful…damn.
It also doesn’t help being super lazy and didn’t feel like moving away from my desk when I started writing this post so I swiveled my chair and took the photos on my bed instead LOL. OH WELL.
OCDaniel (Wesley King): MG, Contemp., Mental Illness
…then Daniel gets a note: “I need your help,” it says, signed, Fellow Star child—whatever that means. And suddenly Daniel, a total no one at school, is swept up in a mystery that might change everything for him.
The Lie Tree (Frances Hardinge): YA, Fantasy, Hist-Fic, Mystery
“…in pursuit of justice and revenge, Faith hunts through her father’s possessions and discovers a strange tree. The tree only bears fruit when she whispers a lie to it. The fruit of the tree, when eaten, delivers a hidden truth. The tree might hold the key to her father’s murder—or it may lure the murderer directly to Faith herself.

I know what you’re talking about when it comes to being limited with books. I own many books in Croatian that I couldn’t use for this challenge, so I had to use those english books I own the best way I could.

It’s definitely a mix of good and bad when being challenged to create spine poetry with constraints!

So true about the limitations! Last year I only managed to put together one poem but now that a year has passed, there were a lot more possibilities. Lol. For someone who wasn’t in the mood to get up, you still managed to make sense with your poems — sort of.

I’m most creative when I’m at my most zen.

I definitely think that you still managed to create some interesting poems with what you had! The second one in particular makes me curious about the story behind it. Great job!

Thanks Alexa! I had a few combinations but given I wanted these 6 books to be split into 2 piles of 3…this was the best alternative at the moment that I could come up with haha.
