Impromptu Read-a-thon End Post!


So, I don’t know if you read it, but yesterday I posted about an Impromptu read-a-thon hosted by Amber at Down the Rabbit Hole that I was taking part in. I posted my goals, which were:

  •         To finish the 190 pages I had left of Dark Inside by Jeyn Roberts.
  •         To read ALL of Vanish by Sophie Jordan
  •        To make a dent in Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick (At least 50 pages)


Well, I’m happy to say, I completed all three of my goals! I started reading at 2 yesterday, and read non-stop (when I wasn’t eating or sleeping…) until 2 today. So, here’s what I managed to read:

  •        190 pages of Dark Inside
  •        100% of Vanish (304 pages)
  •        50% of Ashes (225 pages)


So, using Goodreads page counts, I’ve totalled that up to 719 pages! And in the 24 hours that I took part, I managed to read for 10 hours, 53 minutes. Which is 653 minutes, so I think I did pretty well, as that’s just over a page a minute :)

I’d like to thank Amber for hosting this awesome read-a-thon, and it made a great way to end the week for me :) It was great fun and it was my first read-a-thon, and I don’t think it will be my last!

  2. Geezus this sounds so intense! Like Slowest Bookworm, I read quite languidly. I've always been astounded by fast readers!

*I am no longer accepting blog awards :( I do not have time to go through all the things that come with it, and though I'm honoured you thought of me, I'm sure you can find someone who will love it, and be able to carry out the rules :)

Book Blogger Hop #10 and Follow Friday #5

It's Friday again, so time for the Book Blogger Hop and the Follow Friday! What very popular and hyped book in the blogosphere did you NOT enjoy and how did you feel about posting your review?  My answer: I didn't really enjoy Fallen by Lauren Kate very much, and I'm not sure why, I just didn't. Anyway, I wasn't really sure how to post my review, but I ended up saying why I didn't like it, but also all the parts I thought were good. I always try and post my honest opinion, and if I didn't like a particular book, I will try and say so in the nicest way possible, saying what the good bits were too. Because a book can't be all bad, can it?  What do you do besides reading/reviewing as a hobby? My answer: Although reading takes up a lot of my time, I do do other things... I play the flute, and am currently on Grade 6 so that takes up a lot of my time too... And apart from reading and reviewing on my blog, I don't really do much else. I listen to a ...
