October 9 Read-a-thon Update #1

Here in Los Angeles, my Read-a-thon start time was scheduled for 5AM. That was a little too early for me on a Saturday morning- but I did manage to get up at 8AM and started reading.

Finished my first book at 10AM – Hunger by Jackie Morse Kessler. (I was already halfway through.) I liked the book a lot, very original and engrossing. Recommended for the Read-a-thon since it is a page turner and only 180 pages.

Now I’m reading Afterlife by Claudia Gray. This one is 368 pages – I’m reading on my kindle and have read about 10% so far.

If I get through Afterlife, I’ll start a shorter book such as The DUFF by Kody Keplinger or Paranormalcy by Kiersten White.

There are some distractions keeping me from reading all the time, such as cooking and laundry, but I’m having fun reading what I can!

I have enjoyed reading everyone’s #readathon updates on twitter. Looking forward to visiting some more blogs and following your progress.

Happy reading!
