Bout-of-Books

Changed my mind about seven daily posts. I'll just do the one and update it at least daily, then a summary on Sunday, hopefully.

Day One (Monday)

This was a poor start, for me, at the readathon. I ended up being much busier than I expected and then much too tired to read later on. But I made myself sit down and read.

Book: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
Word Count: 159 of 324

Day Two (Tuesday)

Even worse! Between rehearsals, a show in the evening, and travelling (Two hours without a book! What an oversight!) I only managed a few pages in the wee hours of the morning to try and get some reading done.

Day Three (Wednesday)

The story just gets worse... I went to see The Help today (which was amazing, I must add) so I only managed some time in the morning and then maybe 30 minutes later on. It's hard work trying to find time!

Final Summary

  1. You picked up at the end!!

    How was The Scorch Trials? I've been wanting to read that series for awhile now. Is that the second or third in the series?

  2. I know! I was surprised how much I read, even though that quick load of reading threw me into a slump.

    I'll review the Scorch Trails in maybe a weeks time? It's the second and I did enjoy it, but I was half dead whilst reading!
