Also one thing I totally forgot to mention in my goals post is - I'd like to leave comments every day on people's blog posts. Not the same people and not a certain number, but I'm really bad at leaving comments and I've been getting better at it. It's still one of my goals, though, because I'll forget if I don't try and remind myself (I'm going to have to write myself a note, I just know it).
Number of Books Completed Today: 2
Books (all from today):
Mortal Danger (Immortal Games #1) by Ann Aguirre (continued - 255 pages)
Lola and the Boy Next Door (Anna and the French Kiss #2) by Stephanie Perkins (started and finished - 338 pages)
Number of Page Read Today: 593 pages
Notes/Thoughts:
Mortal Danger - I really enjoyed and the more I think about it, the more I liked it. I finished it pretty early in the day and, writing this later, I might forgive it that half star and just give it the full 5/5, because the problems I had with it were so small and it was so - different.
I didn't actually plan to start and finish Lola and the Boy Next Door today, because I'd already finished a book today. But then I kind of thought - why the hell not, and picked it up, knowing I probably wouldn't put it down until I was finished with it (and I was just about right with that).
How did your first day of this read-a-thon go? Did you join in on the chat? And what are you currently-reading (participating or not)? I'm curious!
Goal Post/TBR
My first day went pretty well. Here's My Day 1 Recap. I didn't join the chat, I don't do Twitter. Currently I am reading Blackbirdy by Anna Carey (blah) and Cursed by Benedict Jacka.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Blackbird that book in second person that's coming out? I'm sorry to hear you're not enjoying it - but second person is very, very hit or miss, at least for me personally, I think I've only read, I think, one thing in second person and it wasn't a full novel. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts when you're done - are you going to be doing a review?
DeleteSounds like you're doing great in this round of Bout of Books!! Two books finished is awesome!! I finished Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's and started listening to the unabridged audio version of The Son by Philipp Meyer.... I'm only 3 cds into this audiobook. I spent 6 hours, 20 minutes reading which is pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI kind of wish I could keep track of how long I spend reading, but it's just too complicated when physically reading.
DeleteIt's sounds like you're doing pretty well so far, yourself, if you've already finished something! :) And the challenges always look like so much fun.
Oh, and I also participated in the playlist challenge, which was fun!!
ReplyDeleteLola is a fun read! I remember liking Anna better... and I haven't even tried Isla yet :) Anyways, you're kicking ass so far! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI think I liked Anna better, too, and I'm hoping to read Isla this week. And thank you! :D
DeleteYou read almost 600 pages in one day (and read one complete novel??) JELLY!! I've only read Anna and the French Kiss, not Lola but I will someday!
ReplyDeleteCongrats and good luck (not that you need it)!

DeleteAnd good luck to you, too! :)
