Read-a-Thon Update Two


Is it the half-way point of this read-a-thon already?  I guess it doesn't seem like it since I started late and yet it's still a bit hard to imagine that there are 12 hours left!  We went out for lunch and I grabbed this little fella on the way home.  Another comforting thing on a dreary day.

I just finished The Prince of Mist and will write up my full thoughts this week.  It was much more of a horror story than I anticipated.  It was very cinematic and quite scary!  Now I'm heading for a nap (I am still sick after all) and taking The Boy with The Cuckoo-Clock Heart by Mathias Malzieu up with me.  It's a very small book so it should be a breeze to get through but I'll probably end up sleeping for a couple of hours first.

I'm up to 435 pages in about 8 hours of reading -- not too shabby.  I hope the rest of the participants are moving along at a good pace!

Back in a bit,
K
