Read-a-thon Update Post

 

 

So at 7pm CST tonight, I will be starting this readathon! I have my snacks, my drinks, and my books stacked and my kindle stuffed. I will be going for as long as I can tonight and getting back in tomorrow! All day long! (with a few small naps thrown in). 

So I'm going to update in chunks of 4 hours. Counting my pages read, time (will use a timer) and just rando notes as I go along. 





Update 1
7pm-11pm:

Book(s): Fire and Blood by George R. R. Martin (starting page: 471)

Pages Read: 156 pages 

Notes: I have taken a few mini-breaks to eat, to take care of some things that have come up. I am almost done with F & B and will finish it before the next block is up. I think that a little nap is going to be in order but not a long one. I'll push through as much of this upcoming block as I can. Caffeine will see me through! 




Update 2
11pm-3am:

Book(s): Fire & Blood (starting page 627)

Pages Read: 90

Notes: I had to take a nap, but I'm back and wide awake again! 


Update 3
3am-7am:

Book(s): Fire & Blook (starting page: 717) Finished!

Book: Such a Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter

Pages Read: 69

Notes:  I am going to sleep for a bit. My eyes are scratchy now, but I will be back soonish! 


Update 4 
7am-11am: (woke up at 8am)

Book(s): Such a Bad Influence (starting page 32)

Pages Read: 104 pages

Notes: This is a good book. It's kept me interested and intrigued. The characters are human even in the "online influencer" realm of fake happiness. I like it!


Update 5
11am-3pm:

Book(s): Such a Bad Influence (starting page 137)

Pages Read: 120 

Notes: Oh this one is good. I like the direction it's taken. I should finish it pretty soon. 


Update 6
 3pm-7pm:

Book(s): Such a Bad Influence (starting page 257) FINISHED 

Book : Red Rising by Pierce Brown (ebook)

Book: A Game of Thrones (starting page: 1)

Pages Read: 94

Notes: I am so very happy about my progress! 


I finished 2 books and started 2 more!

The Secret History by Donna Tart (Spoilers)

Image
 So I have had this book on my shelf for years, I honestly do not remember how or when I acquired it but it's been just sitting there collecting dust. I've recently discovered (very late) Booktube and this was on a few of the lists. I figured why not?  I spent the first hundred or so pages kind of like...okay so this is a book about rich douchebags being douchey..what's so secret about that? That's when the IT hits the SHAN. Things had percolated so well that it kind of  made me do a Shatner. So it went from zero to a bijillionity in like 50 pages and I was not sure I was ready for it! I honesty didn't know what to think. This book too me for a ride. I didn't like any of the characters at their core. Even Richard, our main man, had me shaking my head. Like bro, I know you are wanting to be considered part of the group but once you find out that part of that group has murdered someone in their own yard in the middle of some douchey rich bro's bacchanal ritual

2024 Sci fi Readathon-I'm In!!!

Image
  So it's June! A new month. A new chance to get caught up with my reading goals. I'm joining along with the SciFi Summer Readathon (click the button to join along too!) this month. I am giving up on sticking to a proper schedule but I will be making updates as the month goes along.  It IS a scifi readathon, so it's encouraged to read in this genre or fantasy if you prefer. I may try to sneak in a Fantasy read as scifi isn't exactly my schtick...though I will see about finding one that might tickly my fancy.  My very tentative #TBR stack is as follows: It by Stephen King (to finish) Misery by Stephen King Pet Sematary by Stephen King  Blook at the Roots by  LaDarrion Williams   Doctor Sleep by Stephen King (finish) Red Rising by Pierce Brown  I am wanting to finish up the books I started in previous months and on top of that get 5 books read this month. I have quit a bit of school work to catch up on and I want to chip away at my savings goal by working more too.
