READ-A-THON UPDATES

As the Read-a-thon winds down I'd like to wrap up my reads ;)

After putting my Kindle away, I picked up The Faerie Path by Frewin Jones. I have managed to read 165 pages of this book so far...

So in Total...

1) The Abandoned - 73 pages
2) The Restorer - 377 pages
3) The Kingdom - 47 pages
4) The Faerie Path - 165 pages

That's an awesome 662 pages read!!

A huge thank you to the organiser of this Read-a-thon! I had a blast.

It's officially just past the halfway mark!! Time seems to have flown by :)

Thank you to Lexi and Aneeqah for stopping by to show your support, and to Jen over at At Random for the tweet :)

I didn't get very far into The Kingdom ( only read about 47 pages ) when I needed an extra rest. I even think my Kindle silently thanked me!

Anyway, it was 1am my time, which meant I'd already been awake for close to 19 hours and my body was begging for a rest. So I closed my eyes for what felt like a second and here I am, 2 hours later, still feeling like I have goldfish eye syndrome but more relaxed. I think I'm going to put the Kindle away for a while and pick up a good ol' fashioned paperback for a few hours!

I decided to take a little break from reading to post a quick update. I'll just keep updating my progress in this post as I continue...

So we're somewhere in hour 8 of the thon and I've managed to read The Abandoned by Amanda Stevens ( 73 pages ). this book is the prequel to the series and is an exclusive eBook. Sticking to my original plan of reading The Graveyard Queen series I then moved on to The Restorer ( 377 pages ), and boy am I glad I started reading this series !!  The story is not as easy-breezing as the YA novels I'm used to reading but I'm loving every minute of the haunting thrill-ride Ms. Stevens has created. I've found myself on more than one occasion looking over my shoulder and I almost wish night hadn't fallen so quickly as I prepare to jump into another eery story filled with ghosts, mystery  and romance :)

My eyes feel like they've taken a beating and I think I'm starting to get goldfish eye syndrome from staring at my Kindle for too long. I'm going to take a quick break and then I'll begin The Kingdom :)

Chat soon

  2. You're doing great so far!! Keep on reading! Don't be afraid to take a few breaks, because not only will that help your eyes, but you'll feel so much more refreshed, and you can read throughout the night! Great job so far, and good luck with the rest of the readathon. Congrats for making it to the halfway point!
