Bout of Books Read-a-Thon: Day 2 wrap-up, start of Day 3


I've spend most of yesterday reading "Attachments", by Rainbow Rowell, and "Doctor Who: A Fairytale Life", by Matthew Sturges. The Doctor Who graphic novel I also finshed yesterday. I really liked it. Right now it's my favourite Doctor Who graphic novel I've read so far. I am crazy about fairytales and medieval things and I'm also crazy about Doctor Who, space travel and aliens. This graphic novel had all of that. Also 11 and Amy are my favourite Doctor and companion, so this was great.

So far, I'm really liking attachments as well. Rainbow Rowell really has a talent for writing the cutest greatest stories that make it nearly impossible for me to put down.I'm really looking forward to continue reading that one today, as well as "Breaking Night", by Liz Murray, which I'm reading at a bit of a slower pace, because it's not a book that I want to rush through.

    I really love Rainbow Rowell. I read Eleanor and Park last year and I just finished Fangirl yesterday. Both of them were SO GOOD. I can't wait to read Attachments.

    I don't normally like contemporaries, but Rainbow Rowell's stories are so cute I can't help but love them. I agree that they're hard to put down, so I think that was a great choice for the read-a-thon. Have you read any of her other books? Which one is your favorite?

      So far I've only read Eleanor and Park, I loved that one as well, but I think I'm liking Attachments even more. I do have Fangirl on my self as well, hopefully I'll get to that one soon.

December To Read

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - J.K. Rowling: The film adaptation of this one is my favourite of all the Harry Potters, but I have not read the book again ever since I first read it as a child. I now finally own all the English versions of the Harry Potter novels, so I'm looking forward to read this one again after such a long time. Whispering to witches - Anna Dale: A magical reread for me this month. This is such a sweet beautiful little children's book, and the first English book I ever owned. A cute little book that will go perfectly with the cold days of December. The Empty Hand (De Wraak van de Sneeuwheks) - Catherine Fisher: The Snow Walker book series was one of my favourite series as a child and I hadn't read them for such a long time. I was very curious to know if they still hold up now I've read so many other magical childrens books, so last month I read the first of the series (The Snow Walker's Son) and really enjoyed it.

Bout of books Read-a-thon: Day 1 wrap-up, start of Day 2

A new morning, new books! Yesterday I finished reading "De wraak van de sneeuwheks" (In English: The Empty Hand), the second book of the Snow Walker series. The first of the series was a childhood favourite of mine, but as a child I never knew of the existence of the sequels. A few months ago I finally found two of the sequels on a flea market and I now read this one for the first time. I didn't love it as much as the first of the books, but I still liked it a lot. It's a great magical children's book, and I really love the world in which the story takes place. So after having finished "The Empty Hand" I am now reading two other books, one is the non-fiction book "Breaking Night", by Liz Murray, which I read every year at some point. And the other one is "Attachments", by Rainbow Rowell, which I have never read before. I enjoyed Eleanor and Park a lot, so I'm very happy to be reading another book by Rainbow Rowell. Finis

The Bout of Books Read-a-thon

I have never participated in a read-a-thon before. In fact, before a few months ago I didn't even know of the existence of read-a-thons. But I'm very excited right now to be participating in the Bout of Books Read-a-thon coming week. I am generally a slow reader, so I don't really have any idea yet what is possible for me to read in one week. So this is mostly going to be an experiment to me to see what's possible. I don't really have a goal except to read more than I usually would within a week. And to, instead of turning on the TV like I normally do, to open a book instead. I'm very happy to be joining on this event and I'm very very curious how it will go. For anyone else who's interested in this challenge, here's the official Bout of books blurb with a link to their blog: The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, Jan
