Books Read: Stupid Girl by Cindy Miles
Thoughts: I'm really happy that I was able to finish Stupid Girl & get my review up! I wasn't planning on taking part in the challenge but it was a nice little break from reading, and also quite fun. I would still have liked to read more... but I have a feeling I could read a whole book and I'd still wish I had done more so. On to day 3!

Books Read: Stupid Girl by Cindy Miles, The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith
Thoughts: Well I guess it was inevitable after being happy with what I read yesterday that today I would have a bit of a lull! I wanted to read 200 pages but I think I can make it up tomorrow. Although I think my 5 book challenge make be a little on the tight side - half way through the week and just under half way through my book list. But I guess we'll see.

Books Read: Vengeance by Megan Miranda, Stupid Girl by Cindy Miles, The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith
Thoughts:
Happy with what I read today. Still going to be tight to fit two books in over the weekend up I'm over the moon that I've read as much as I have, really put a dent in my review pile. Also the challenge today was really fun - even if it did mean messing up one of my bookshelves. If I could put up with not have a series together I think I'd have my books in rainbow order in future... unfortunately I can't. Mild OCD when it comes to my books. On to DAY 6! Can't believe the weeks almost over!
SATURDAY

Thoughts: AH! That's it! Can't believe this week has gone by SO fast it's unreal. I also can't quite believe I managed to finish ALL five of the books I set for the week. I think that's an all new record. Super happy and this as really fun! Can't wait for the next one. Thanks Bout of Books for the epic read-a-thon.
How did all you lovely people do? Leave me a comment and tell me if you hit your goals :)
I hope you enjoy The Geography of You and Me - I loved that one although seen a lot of people saying it was a bit boring :)
ReplyDeleteReally? I've only heard good things about this one :) I'm about to start that one NOW! I'm really looking forward to it.
DeleteThanks for stopping by Sophie X
Yeah - spoke to a few people recently who said it was too dull and nondescript! I thought it was fab though :) x
DeleteThat doesn't sound good. I guess I'll have to make my own mind up... the first 14pages were good though :P x
DeleteGreat start to your first day, that's wonderful!! Since you're not completely happy with it, I hope you do even better today :DD Good luck, and happy reading!
