Bout of Books Read-a-Thon Friday Update
08.18.2012

Okay, I cheated a little. I swerved away from my original TBR list and jumped from Thirteen by Kelley Armstrong to The Blondes by Emily Schultz! Who can resist a literal community of “killer” blondes? Not me. (I’m not blonde, but I can surely live vicariously through the characters in this book!)
We’re nearing the last leg of the read-a-thon. How are you keeping up? Better than me, I hope. Here’s my summary for yesterday’s reading fun:
Friday
Number of pages I’ve read today: 78 pages
Number of books I’ve read today: 0
Total number of pages read to-date: 554 pages
Total number of books I’ve read for the read-a-thon: 2
Books Read: The Red House by Mark Haddon, The Emperor of Paris by C.S. Richardson
Books Reading: Thirteen by Kelley Armstrong, The Blondes by Emily Schultz
***
Other accomplishments: Aside from reading between two books, I was able to participate in one challenge for the day, the Book Spine Haiku Challenge!

What do you require to sit down and read? Quiet? A comfy couch? Coffee?

Haha I’m close to blonde, but I think I’m too close to Brunette so that is what dominates. Sometimes I wish for the carefree life of a blonde. LOL Good luck with the rest of Bout of Books!
You’re making great progress. I need to check out your books. The covers have definitely peaked my interest. Happy reading!
Awesome progress so far! I loved thirteen, sad that the series is over though! Hope you enjoy it too
