Charity Hop International

Welcome! The charity that means the most to me is Charity:Water, a nonprofit organization that brings clean drinking water to developing countries. The best part of this charity is that 100 percent of donations are directed towards clean water projects. Most people do not think of clean water when dissecting the issues that plague individuals. Did you know that almost 1 billion people do not have access to clean drinking water? What an unimaginable horror.

Charity:Water creates water projects in various developing countries, including India, Ethiopia, and Cambodia. Check out the website: http://www.charitywater.org

Enter the international giveaway to win a BPA-free water bottle and a Charity:Water wristband. 

The winner is Jenn S! The winner has been contacted and confirmed. YAY!

I really enjoyed reading the first two Fever books by Karen Moning. The series that I was really disappointed with this month is the Black Dagger Brotherhood. I heard so many great things about the series, but I could not get past the poor and cheesy dialogue. Furthermore, each story was a bit more predictable than the last. The girl we meet during the first few chapters will inevitably hook up with the brother discussed in the first chapter.

This week's question: Have you ever looked at a book's cover and thought, “This is going to be horrible?” but you were pleasantly surprised upon reading?

When I picked up Vampire Academy, I thought the cover featured a weird drugged-out Angelina Jolie lookalike. I heard a lot about the VA series, and I was so afraid that it would be like Twilight. The cover did nothing to assuage my fears. I started reading and was thrilled to find that I enjoyed the story.

What book would you love to see made into a movie or television show and do you have actors/actresses in mind to play the main characters?

I would like to see Divergent on the big screen. Unknown actors should play the roles of Tris and Four.  Can you imagine how wonderful the scene that involves Tris taking the plunge off the building would look? So neat!
