Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 3 – Look At Me, I’m Sandra Dee + Page 99 Test

SandraDee2

  • Introduce us to your favorite fictional female – What does she look like? Is there an actress that you think of when you think of the character? Is she tough or timid? You could do a mock interview with your character, or create a bio/resume for her.

I had a very hard time answering this question because I really don’t have any favorite fictional female (I have a lot of fictional females I hate though), so basically, I stalked my bookshelves for five entire minutes until I can pick one favorite fictional female.

In the end, I had decided that my favorite fictional female is definitely Allie Sekemoto from the Blood of Eden series. Allie is a girl living in a dystopian society, is Japanese, and is super tough. If I was put in her situation, I would have died right off. I would have given in to society after less than a year of resistance.

The actress I think of when I read The Immortal Rules and The Eternity Cure is Park Min-Young. For those of you who don’t know her, she plays Kim Na-Na in the amazing Korean drama City Hunter. (Watch it! There’s a very hot guy in the drama!) I know, I know, Allie is Japanese, not Korean like Kim Na-Na, but sadly, I don’t know any Japanese actors. Park Min-Young is a great actor and I think that she would make a perfect Allie.

teardropPsst, do you see the hot Lee Min Ho in this scene? I can stare at him all day.

I tried doing an Allie bio, but it epic failed. Oh well, this is all you guys will get. :P


 

Page992

Today is the Page 99 Test challenge, hosted by Meagan from Reviewing Wonderland! Today’s challenge should be simple; simply flip to page 99 and put a short synopsis of that page. Remember guys, no spoilers!

For this challenge, I’ll be using This Song Will Save Your Life again.


thissongwillsaveyourlifeThis Song Will Save Your Life
Author: Leila Sales
Series: None
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Release Date: September 17, 2013
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux

Goodreads | Amazon | TBD

Summary:

All her life, Elise Dembowski has been the butt of every joke and the outsider in every conversation. When a final attempt at popularity fails, she nearly gives up. Then she stumbles upon a warehouse party where she meets her first real friends, develops her first real crush, and finds her true passion – DJing.
Told in a refreshingly genuine voice, This Song Will Save Your Life is an exuberant novel about identity, friendship, and the power of music to bring people together.

 
Page 99:
Elise is learning the DJing rules from the DJ Char, specifically, she’s learning how to read the crowd to see what they want. (ARC 99)

 
Will I read the book based on page 99 alone? No, honestly, not really, but guys, don’t judge this book by page 99! This Song Will Save Your Life is a really great book, and I usually don’t like contemporaries, so that’s really saying something.

 
Will you read This Song Will Save Your Life, judging from page 99 alone?

    I still need to read the Blood of Eden series, but I’m also pretty sure I wouldn’t have survived all that long in the world, haha! I definitely want to read This Song Will Save Your Life, I’m even more intrigued after your synopsis of page 99!

    That gif with Lee Min Ho distracted me for a good 2o seconds before I read the rest of your post ;)

    I haven’t read Blood of Eden, but kick-butt female characters that could survive a dystopian society are good in my book (Also I’m now adding City Hunter to the long list of Kdramas I need to watch). :)

      Ha ha ha, isn’t Lee Min Ho just wonderfully good looking? ;D<3
      YES! City Hunter is the only Kdrama that I actually watched in its entirely. I couldn't pay attention to other Kdramas I watched because they either bored me to death or made me want to throw something at them. :P

    Allie was my choice too! I love how you posted a gif with the actress crying – It made me imagine some of Allie’s more vulnerable moments in the books!

      Yeah, I was trying to show the weak side of Allie to everyone, although I don’t think she cries in the book. She’s too strong for that. :P
