The #ReadBlock Challenge is asking what it is that stops readers from reading. It's quite interesting as lately I have had a bit of a #readblock but I found that a routine helped me get back into it. I make sure to read without fail before I go to sleep, even if I do end … Continue reading Readathon April 2016: #ReadBlock Challenge
I found a great quote in the book I am reading that works for the ongoing challenge Operation:Quotation I decided to make it pretty. Still reading The Marvels by Brian Selznick. Currently at page 423.
I finally finished Lolita. I reviewed it on Goodreads. It was interesting but not as great as everyone made it out to be. I also read Ghost World by Daniel Clowes - my first Graphic Novel of the Readathon (Review here). I will probably move on to The Marvels by Brian Selznick. I had my Maltesers. … Continue reading Readathon April 2016: Hours 4, 5 and 6
It's now just after 2pm and I officially started reading at 12.30pm. Lolita is a bit of a slog. I started off at 65% of the way through (I'm reading it on Kindle) and I am only at 79% now. I am not a huge fan of this book, although I appreciate the prose and … Continue reading Readathon April 2016: Hour 01
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? The UK! 1pm start, but I did start a bit earlier! 2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? I'm looking forward to reading Natsuo Kirino's The Goddess Chronicle, as I am a big fan of her crime novels, … Continue reading Readathon April 2016: Hour 0
It's that time of year where I remember that I have a blog and finally update, spamming the blog with Readathon posts! I've been gathering my TBR pile for the event and even made a trip to the library after (over) a year of not visiting. I'm starting a bit early, as I know I … Continue reading Readathon April 2016: Early Start
Well, I may not have blogged much, but I did complete the readathon. It took me a couple of hours extra to finish my 3rd book, but I started late and spent a lot of time not reading so I don't mind. Apart from sleeping, playing The Simpsons Tapped Out, going in the bath and … Continue reading Dewey’s Readathon – April 2015 – Hours 10-24
I have finished reading the play Hobson's Choice by Harold Brighouse. This is a GCSE set text at my placement school and I thought it best that I read it so that when I work with Year 11, I can help them understand it. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and loved the characters. It was … Continue reading Dewey’s Readathon – April 2015 – Hours 6-9
I have now finished Brown Girl Dreaming. This is such a fantastic book! It is unusual in that it is a memoir that is written in free verse. It follows the life of the author from her birth and early months in Ohio, through to her mother moving the family back to her childhood home … Continue reading Dewey’s Readathon – April 2015 – Hours 4-5
It's been so long since my last readathon! I am busy working on my teacher training so have had so little time for blogging, and barely much time for reading, but today I will try and rectify that! I will still need to plan lessons, but I am going to sit, chill out and read … Continue reading Dewey’s Readathon – April 2015 – Hour 1
