End of the Year #ReadingCram Read-a-thon Days 7-10

The read-a-thon is almost drawing to an end, and so I thought I'd fit in one last update before my wrap-up post. So here are my updates from Days 7 to 10.

Again, here's a little visual representation of my progress so far.

End of the Year 2013 #ReadingCram Read-a-thon Week One Update

Originally, I'd planned on doing daily updates for my reading process but unforeseen circumstances this week meant that I've decided to just make this one post to cover from days three to seven of the read-a-thon.

My stats for day three were as follows...

Currently Reading: A Million Suns by Beth Revis

Pages read today: 567

Total pages read: 977

Books finished today: 2 – Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Poison Study

Total books read: 4

On day four, I read a grand total of 18 pages of A Million Suns, which bumped up my total pages read to 995. For days five and six, I read nothing- literally, not a single word. I came down with a bid of a cold and I just wasn't up to reading.

But that's okay, because I made up for that today! 

Currently Reading: The 100 by Kass Morgan (120 pages in)

Pages read today: 518

Total pages read: 1513

Books finished today: 1 – A Million Suns

Total books read: 5

I thought I'd do a little visual representation of what I've achieved so far...

The red lines mark the book as finished, and the purple border means that I have yet to start the book, which is why The 100 has no mark at all. 

I should finish The 100 tomorrow, then I'm thinking of staring The Lake of Tears because it will be a reasonably quick read. I'm also hoping to be doing a buddy read with Dana for Never Fade (Can I just say how excited I am to get back into that story?) Otherwise, I haven't really planned which books to read next. I'm open to suggestions!

End of the Year 2013 #ReadingCram Read-a-thon Day 2 + Teaser Challenge

Today was a very good day for me- I managed to finish two of my books. I'm going to be starting on Percy Jackson next, which is where my teasers are coming from.

Challenge: Open the book you are currently reading to a random page and post two teaser sentences.

Teaser #1: "I take vitamins. For my ears." pg. 175

Teaser #2: He pulled a switchblade out of his back pocket, and for a second I thought he was going to gut me, but he just scraped the mud off the sole of his sandal. pg. 101

Currently Reading: Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

Pages read today: 233

Total pages read: 410

Books finished today: 2 – Blood Red Snow White by Marcus Sedgwick, The Magican’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis

Total books read: 2
