Bout of Books 11.0- DAY 1

 

Day 1 in the Bout of Books house...

 

Well I woke up bright and early this morning and took full advantage of doctors waiting times, bus journeys and general waiting for friends to complete two books for today... kinda proud!

 

So firstly I started off with reading the last 211 pages of 'Prodigy' by Marie Lu; oh my... I was on a bus when I finished this and I wanted to delve into Champion immediately. However the fool that I am, I had left champion on my bed instead of putting it in my bag... face palm. A full review of this will be up shortly.

 

So what do you do when your desperate to read and now you have at least another hours on various buses and waiting time... you buy a replacement book; so I went into my local charity shop and bought 'The New Sherlock Holmes Novel: The House of Silk' by Anthony Horowitz'. Although this was never on my tbr for this read-a-thon I read 39 pages just to pass some of the time and to add to my page count. This book will be used for my travelling book; so when I'm out and about this is the spare book I will have in my bag... along with my current read (obviously).

 

So when I got home I immediately put Sherlock down and picked up 'Champion' by Marie Lu; oh this book kept me going for hours, with all the feels and the drama... oh my... I have a new love for this series! I preceded to complete all 353 pages of Champion before midnight (by less that half an hour!). Also a review of this book and series review will be up within the next couple of weeks... probably after the read-a-thon; because who seriously has time to write the reviews these books need while in a read-a-thon???!!!???
