Near the end
of the year is the perfect time to highlight our reading lives for the whole
year we are about to leave behind. That is the main purpose of this feature—now
the third year—Book Kaleidoscope. It
is my way of wrapping up and rewinding my yearly reading, at the end of it. Now
I invite you all to participate in the Book Kaleidoscope 2014.
Same as last
year, here are the details,
- There will be five categories and five separate posts for each.
- Each post will have its own linky; each will be opened until January 15th, 2014.
- The linky will be opened below each of my posts.
- I will post according to my own scheduled date, but you can choose your most convenient time to post it, as long as it’s not later than January 15th.
- You can use any books to join (don’t have to be classics, but it must be fiction).
- I’d be grateful if you put a link back to this master post in your Book Kaleidoscope posts, but it’s not obligatory.
Day 1 - Top Five Book Boy/Girl Friends
From all the
books you have read throughout the year, rank five male characters (if you are
female) or five female characters (if you are male) you loved most. Tell us the
reason, and it would be great if you use images to describe them (if the book
has been made into movie, you can share photo(s) of the best actors/actresses
to perform them).
My post schedule: 26 December 2014
Day 2 – Top Five Most Memorable Quotes
Do you have
any quotes that touched you deeply or reminded you of something special from
what you have read this year? Pick five that were most memorable to you, rank
them, and let us know why they’re special.
My post schedule: 27 December 2014
Day 3 – Top Five Best Book Covers
Rank five
covers of books you have read in 2014. Pick the edition that you really read,
but if you read ebook, at least pick one that you used for your post. Tell us
why you think them gorgeous.
My post schedule: 29 December 2014
Day 4 – Top Five of Your Own Category
I dedicated day 4 as freebie day. Pick your own category (besides the existing four)—any
aspects from books. Rank five of your most favorites, and tell us why you chose
them. If you don’t have any (better) idea, you are welcomed to join mine: Top
Five Underappreciated Secondary
Characters.
My post schedule: 30 December 2014
Day 5 – Top Five Most Favorite Books
No
explanation needed for this category, of course…; just rank and let us know
books you find most awesome, and you have enjoyed the most! (and why…).
My post schedule: 31 December 2014
No subscription
is needed; just post and submit your links. For any question, post in the
comment box, or mention me on twitter: @Fanda_A using hashtag:

Let’s rewind
it and have fun! :)
This looks fun! Um, I may populate it about 50% with material from Kindly Inquisitors, though. I'll have to think about it.
ReplyDeleteThat's alright, Jean. Sometimes tehre is one book that dominates our readings of the whole year...
DeleteThis sounds like fun! I love looking over the books I've read and figuring out which ones I liked the most. :)
ReplyDeleteYes! It sums up our reading, and highlights the gems we have found in a year. Hope you'll be in! ;)
DeleteThis is such a neat idea! I'm going to have to do this. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you're in Lois! ^_^
DeleteI've been thinking about doing some kind of review for the year, but this seems like a better idea than just one wrap-up post. I'm in! :)
ReplyDeleteYay! Thanks for joining!
DeleteI will participate! My posts are set to go up the same days yours do, Fanda. I don't know why we're skipping 12/28, but I'll skip with you. :-)
ReplyDeleteYay.... I'm glad you'll participate this year, Marianne. We are skipping 12/28 because I don't usually like to post anything on Sundays. I believe Sundays are for God and family; so I won't interrupt you with any posts to read. :)
