Hour fourteen (or is it twenty three?)

Slept a bit later than planned. Up now, had my breakfast. Will probably not blog again until the challenge is finished at 2pm/14:00.

Reading my first multi word title of the challenge: Daughter of Smoke and Bone, a book I've been excited about since I read early reviews of it months ago.

Pages read so far this hour: Not many
Pages read in total: 1203

Hours twelve, thirteen and thirteen and a half

Off to bed now, I think, having just finished Unclaimed. That's three for three I've read today that I enjoyed. Reviews to follow tomorrow.

If all goes according to my plan, I'll be getting up in time to read for at least another hour and a half tomorrow, as the Read-a-thon won't officially end until 2pm.

The Eleventh Hour (See what I did there)

People who know my husband (or fans of Doctor Who) will get the double meaning of the title. At this stage of the Read-a-thon, I'm feeling a bit silly. Still, reading along at a cracking pace. 

Liking Unclaimed so far, and I'm especially intrigued as to why the heroine is so reluctant to be touched by anyone. An unusual quality in a romance heroine. The book still isn't grabbing me as much as Unveiled by the same author did, but I like it.

Hour the tenth

Just finished chapter four of Unclaimed by Courtney Milan, which looks to be an interesting read. Took a little break to browse the internets, and make myself a snack of carrots and dip. It's amazing how much faster certain genres are to read, though.

Hours eight and nine

My, I have been doing a lot of reading. It feels wonderful, especially after not having had a lot of time to read in the last few months. Finally finished Snuff, with a few minutes to spare before the new hour.

Chime by Franny Billingsley
Snuff by Terry Pratchett

Just starting: Unclaimed by Courtney Milan

Hours six and seven

Still reading Snuff, enjoying it. Vimes books are nearly always ace, this is no exception. Seems Pratchett has decided to explore the lives of goblins in this one.

Had my dinner, should be able to press on with reading more quickly now, as I have fewer interruptions.

Hour the fifth

Still reading Snuff. Still a bit distracted by husband being Batman. He's going to a friend's for the evening, though, leaving me alone in the flat with the E-reader. So I should get more reading done in the next hour.

Pages read in the last hour: 80

Now I'm going to go make my dinner, and read while the pasta boils.
