...Read!


The 24 Hour Read-a-thon is finally upon us!
I know I'm a little late, but better than never, right?

Read-a-thon Recap
I certainly had the best fun during the past couple of hours.
I finished Girl of Nightmares in 4.5 hours.
Sadly, I was not able to finish Stardust. I had to turn in after two hours of reading because I had to prepare for an early morning. Only got halfway through it.
The mini-challenges were creative and awesome.
Thank you to all the people who was behind the Read-a-thon. It must have taken so much to get everything set up.
I'm a little sad that I didn't get to read for longer hours, or last the whole way. But, next time, my fellow read-a-thoners. Next time...

Hour 19
Mini Challenge: Book Sentences
using 3 or more books, use just the titles to create a sentence.
The ghost and the goth swallow me whole every day.

Currently Reading:
Stardust: The Gift Edition


Hour 17
Just finished
Title: Girl of Nightmares
Author: Kendare Blake
Release Date: 07 August 2012

Hours: 4.5
Girl of Nightmares (Anna, #2)
I wish I'd pick a shorter book. But I still loved it. I'm going away again for about 2 hours. But I'll be baaack.

Girl of Nightmares (Anna, #2)The official New Zealand road code


This post will be updated with my reading progress throughout the rest of the read-a-thon.

Happy Reading!

Ready, Set...



I am participating in this year's 24-Hour Read-a-Thon. I'ts happening this Saturday-13Oct. Still not too late to sign-up.
This will be my first one and I don't exactly know how this works, but it sounds simple enough and I'm excited!
It's a massive reading challenge. We all read at the same time and post updates about our reading progress. There are mini-challenges and prizes up for grabs throughout the day. See, it's all very exciting.

I won't be able to participate the whole 24 hours because both time zones are against me. I can't even stay up the night. I have classes the following morning. Fail. Anyway, I plan on reading:
  • The Official Road Code- My dad's been hounding me to do the test but I don't really have any motivation to even read it. Hopefully, the read-a-thon will help me finally finish it.
  • Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan- I don't even know if this arrives from the library (doesn't look like it) by Saturday but if it does, you can bet that this will shoot up the top of my list.
  • Stardust by Neil Gaiman- I've had this for a while and I've been meaning to read for an even longer while.
  • Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake- More Anna!
  • Ghost and Goth by Stacey Kade- Can't believe I'm reading this.
I doubt I'll be able to actually finish all of those, but I'll try to get through as much as I can.
