The Under-Hyped Readathon! discussion
The End of the Readathon!

Best book was by far The Loving Spirit but it was the only "full length" novel I read. While I liked the other 3 books I read and I gave all 4 of the books I read 4/5 stars I gave them that on very different reasons. One of them challenged me (A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing), one of them was just beautiful prose (If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things) and the fourth was a short story collection with a couple of gems (The Birds and Other Stories)!
My resounding feelings are I quite like this readathon lark. Just maybe next time I'll try and have all 4 of my lab reports complete before I decide to join in ;)

Readathons are the best!
I hope everyone else did as well as they could.


And I've read about 175 pages of William - An Englishman! I read a pretty big range of things, so I'm not sure which book was my favorite...I rated two of them 4/5 stars, and one 5/5. I'm sure William - An Englishman will be 5 stars. It's the one that has elicited the greatest emotional reactions from me!

I will be posting a wrap up on my channel at some stage. I should have filmed it today, but video inspiration was low... Still recovering from the sleep deprivation before the festivities I think!! :)
But I completed Beware the Gingerbread House, Soldier on the Hill and The Comet Box. And started Godfather Was A Girl: . . . And Blanche Dubois Was A Guy and South of Darkness.


The books I read was:
Complete Short Fiction by Oscar Wilde
The Blue Fox by ³§Âáó²Ô (Favorite read!)
Disturbing the Peace by Richard Yates
The Art of Seeing Things by John Burroughs
23-salen by Ingvar Ambjørnsen


So, three books. Not bad. My aim was actually one book. But last week, I was off two days in a row, so I did a good amount of reading.

I read Faking Normal by Courtney C. Stevens in the first day, then Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us by Robert D. Hare PhD and at last Death Sentence by Alexander Gordon Smith. The manga I read was the fifth volume of Black Cat by Kentaro Yabuki.
Definitely recommend all reads but each have different themes, so make sure to see what suits you :) I tried to write a review on the first book I read if anyone's interested and want to check it out :D
Can't wait for the next readathon! :D
