Summer Break Reading Challenge Activity #10

For this activity, I had to create a book cover using a random word, name, and image, and then create a synopsis for our "book." Here is what I came up with:


Amber hates her everything about herself, especially her face. She will not listen no matter how many times her best friend, Chase, tells her she is beautiful the way she is. She wishes she could change the way she looks, so she can be part of the popular crowd, have a gorgeous boyfriend, and be liked by all. Ever since middle school, she has been saving up all of her money for plastic surgery, so she can finally change her face and fulfill her dreams. She thinks that a new look will make her feel better about herself, but she never anticipated that it could just make things worse.

I probably should not be writing a synopsis when I can barely keep my eyes open.

Summer Break Reading Challenge #2

For the second challenge, I had to use Wordle and choose a book to make a sort of collage of words related to that books. I chose to use Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. Here is what I came up with (click to make bigger!):

Wordle: Beautiful Creatures


This challenge was definitely fun! The hardest part was choosing a book to use.
