I'm running a tad late for this readathon, but better late than never! I am spoilt for choice with books, and have a huge selection of ebooks and paper books to choose from. 1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? Sunderland, UK. From the comfort of my fiance's house. 2) … Continue reading Readathon Oct 2013 : Getting started! Hours 1-3
I really need to update more regularly. Ahem. It is that time of year again. It seems hardly a few weeks since the April 2013 Readathon, but it has in fact been months. Prizes have been delivered, and now it seems the next one is upon us. I've moved jobs since then. I happen to … Continue reading Coming Soon: Twenty-four Hour Readathon (October 2013 Edition)
I have been drawing a blank after the readathon. Mainly because I am going through some stuff right now (not nearly as dramatic as it sounds, honestly!) and I haven’t felt up to blogging. I am trying though. To the winners of the Readathon challenge - I will be in touch soon. Apologies for the … Continue reading The first of Rachel’s Rambles… but no doubt not the last.
It is after 1pm now. I can't quite believe it, but I made it. I lasted the whole 24 hours and read 5 whole books (plus 91 pages of a 6th book) *Obligatory wrap up post* Which hour was most daunting for you? Probably round about hours 14/15/16 as it was waaaay past my bed … Continue reading Readathon – Hour 24 – Crossing the finishing line!
ZOMG! I finished reading City of Bones. As you can tell, I loved it and man, this readathon is so awesome! I may be sleep deprived but I have really enjoyed reading books and blogging, and the mini-challenge! Oh the mini-challenge! FYI - the entries are so awesome I am currently trying to gather more … Continue reading Readathon Hour 23 – Book 5 is done!
I really am silly. I just posted my mini challenge an hour early! It's down now, stored in waiting for the next hour, but my confusion arose from the fact that I thought I was posting at 9am GMT - which is true, but I forgot that due to daylight savings time, the UK is … Continue reading Readathon Hours 20-21 – Oops!
I am alive! I logged off the laptop for a while as even in standby it was making a noise that was giving me a headache, so saved some energy and my sanity. Plus keeping the darn thing on distracts me from reading a bit too much - blogging and participating in games is awesome … Continue reading Readathon – Hours 15-19 Did I sleep? I don’t think so…
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…
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!
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
