For more info & to join the read-a-thon, visit the post HERE.

For me & my time zone, as always, that means it starts on Monday, July 22nd at 7 am & ends on Monday, Juky 29th at 6:59 am.

 

I'll post my updates on this post as I read for the read-a-thon.

On Twitter we (read-a-thoners) will use the hashtag #HSreadathon.

  

 

What I'll be reading?

This time I'm not making a reading list, except for my first read that I already chose (since I'm writing this in advance & scheduling it to go up when the read-a-thon starts) - The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey. After that, no idea, wherever the mood takes me.

  

Wrap Up:

 

 

Ok, so this read-a-thon didn't go as I planned & hoped it will.

I didn't read anything on Monday, on Tuesday I started The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey, and I read some from Alif the Unseen by G. Willow Wilson (a previously started book & a re-read). Seeing as I wasn't quite feeling up to reading at all, I decided to try something else, so on Wednesday I read the graphic novel The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish by my #1 fav author Neil Gaiman & illustrated by Dave McKean, and then I started re-reading Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, and I also started Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte on Wednesday, so it was a day filled with reading. But, I didn't read anything on both Thursday & Friday. On Saturday I read from Alif the Unseen, Wuthering Heights & Good Omens, and on the last day I read from both Alif the Unseen & Good Omens, but I didn't finished any of these.

 

I wouldn't say it was a total fail, since I made a dent in 4 books, and if I didn't jump around 4 different books, I would've finished more than one graphic novel, but for the 4 days I managed to read a little, I still did good, and I will probably (hopefully) finish these 4 books this week.

 
Once again one big THANK YOU to Michelle for hosting this read-a-thon!
