LGBTreadathon

LGBTReadathon

Emma Holtrust June 22, 2015

This week is a crazy busy week for me - an essay deadline, lots of writing for my own story and writing enough blogs/making enough videos so I can take next week off. Why not throw a readathon in there too? I've wanted to join the LGBTReadathon for a while now and decided that there's no day like today.

However, I'm also not crazy, so my reading goal is low. Super low.

1. The Art of Being Normal - Lisa Williamson

I've heard only amazing things about this book and I can't wait to finally read it. Lisa Williamson seems like a lovely person and I'm sure her book will live up to all the great reviews!

2. Winger - Andrew Smith

Another book that everyone seems to have read except me. Again, the amazing reviews precede this book and I can't wait to see the story behind this amazing cover!

If you're joining, then what are you reading? Show me your books!

Day 1:

So worst reading day ever. I read 15 pages on Winger. That was it. I'm planning on making day 2 way better and to get a big chunk of Winger read! 

Total read: 15 pages

Books finished: 0/2

Day 2:

Winger. What the hell Winger?! Yesterday, I had a great reading day. I finished the whopping 439 pages that is Winger. And I'm emotionally ruined. So glad I don't have to write this review until Sunday!

Total read: 439 pages.

Books finished: 1/2 

Day 3:

Looks like the trend of this readathon is one bad reading day and one awesome day again (hopefully). Today I read 15 pages of The Art of Being Normal. And I started another book. Whoops.

Total read: 454

Books finished: 1/2

“That is part of the beauty of literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.”
— F. Scott Fitzgerald
