Dewey's 24-Hour Readathon, Part 4
Hour 13:
Reading: The Thief Lord, by Cornelia Funke - COMPLETE
Listening: The White Stripes, Seven Nation Army
Thoughts: either it's historical fiction or fantasy. Sometimes it can be both, but for goodness sake, don't introduce magic 3/4 the way into the book! Set the story in a magical alternate universe, or introduce magic within the first three chapters, at least. The book was good in the beginning, but then it just got silly and ridiculous :(
Taking a break to make dinner!
Hour 14:
Reading: Doctor Who - Prisoners of Time, Volume 1
Listening: "Fish Custard" from the Doctor Who Soundtrack
Thoughts: about time I read a comic book!
Challenge: spell out your name in book titles
Never Let Me Go
And Then There Were None
Hamlet
Romeo and Juliet
Eat, Pray, Love
Eleanor & Park
Hour 15:
Reading: Happy Birthday or Whatever: Track Suits, Kim Chee, and Other Family Disasters, by Annie Choi
Eating: Hazelnut macaron from Cream and Flutter
Watching (yeah yeah, "multitasking"): House M.D. Season 7
Sadly, I will be taking a "break" from the read-a-thon to work on my paper, so this may or may not be my last update. Good luck to the rest of you, and happy reading!
