Reverse Readathon
After missing April's Readathon, and having a bit of a reading slump (with the exception of children's books for my daughter!)

Readathon April 2016: Hours 11-22 ~ The Missing Hours
As predicted, I fell asleep. For my health reasons, I couldn't afford to not sleep, as exhaustion exacerbates my fibromyalgia and recently, I've been feeling okay so I didn't want to spoil it.

Readathon April 2016: #ReadBlock Challenge
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 finally finished Lolita. I reviewed it on Goodreads. It was interesting but not as great as everyone made it out to be.

Readathon April 2016: Hour 01
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.
