It is twenty past two and I am starting to feel sleepy as hell. I think the only reason I've not fallen asleep yet is due to the pain in my jaw, and also the fact I started reading The Mortal Instruments series Book 1 City of Bones on my kindle. It's as awesome … Continue reading Readathon – Hours 13 and 14: Sleepiness is kicking in…

Readathon Hours 11 + 12 – Half way there!
Book 4 is finished now. I always forget about how silly the Goosebumps books are and how simple the writing style is. When I was younger I thought they were awesome but now I read them as an adult and see that they aren't even that well written, but man did they influence my early … Continue reading Readathon Hours 11 + 12 – Half way there!
Readathon Hours 6-10 : Slow Goings
Despite having been reading for 10 hours, and getting through a tedious 300+ page book in the first few hours of the readathon, I seem to have run out of steam a bit. Not surprising as that book was basically lists of words and reading so many lists is quite draining. It took me a while to … Continue reading Readathon Hours 6-10 : Slow Goings
Readathon Hours 3-5 – One book down… phew!

Not such a great start in that I was sitting in a pub drinking cocktails and being distracted from reading by some interesting committee talk. Read only about 4% of my book, which is proving to be a disappointing read as it in fact seems to be repeating a lot of stuff from the previously … Continue reading Readathon Hour 2
Readathon April 2013 Hour 01! – It starts…
I am here! I am starting my readathon. Unfortunately I am struggling with a naff internet connection in a pub, where I am currently half listening to the meeting of the convention I help run. Now I will begin reading my first book of the day. My laptop is not plugged in, and the connection … Continue reading Readathon April 2013 Hour 01! – It starts…
Readathon – My prize donations
Who says I am not generous? Not only am I trying to raise money for Aid for Japan during this readathon (donate here please!) but I am also giving away some great books as prizes, donating most to the prize fund of the readathon team itself, but also (fingers crossed) giving some away on here … Continue reading Readathon – My prize donations
