Due to a review book that I needed to finish, I'm starting a day late. I'm okay with this, though, as I read a lot over the weekend. I'm going to jump right in, though, and am ready to go. This will be the post that I update on everyday. Here goes nothing!
April 24, 2012: Reading I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga and Kill Me Softly by Sarah Cross
April 25, 2012: Reading I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga (28% finished) and Kill Me Softly by Sarah Cross (68% finished) - Serial killers and the darkest side of fairy tales sums up my current reads quite nicely. There are definitely chills to be had.
April 26, 2012: Finished Kill Me Softly; Finished I Hunt Killers - Oh. My! Both of these novels were seriously chilling and I Hunt Killers was, dare I say, horrific? It's going to be hard to follow that, but I think my next reads will be The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda and Born at Midnight by C.C. Hunter.
April 27, 2012: Reading Born at Midnight by C.C. Hunter (50% finished) and The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda (17% finished) - I'm moving along at a very nice pace. There's oodles of supernaturals in Born at Midnight and The Hunt is positively chilling.
April 28, 2012: Reading Born at Midnight by C.C. Hunter (74% finished) and The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda (32% finished) - I'm completely hooked on Born at Midnight at the moment, so I haven't made much more progress with The Hunt. I should be finishing the former soon, though.
April 29, 2012: Finished Born at Midnight; Reading The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda (67% finished) and Awake at Dawn by C.C. Hunter (7% finished) - I couldn't help myself. Once I finished Born at Midnight, I just had to start Awake at Dawn. What can I say? If I have the next book in a series on hand, chances are I'm going to pick it up immediately. There's lots of ghost and vampire action going on, so it had its moments. I'm more than half-way through The Hunt now. I think I've gotten a better idea of what is going on with the populace now. It's chilling and, at times, gruesome. It's an intriguing story, though, so I hope I can finish it soon. Now that I have reached the end of the read-a-thon, you can see the final stats below.
Overall Progress
Books Read:3
Pages Read:1,294
Goal Progression: 3/5 books
I didn't quite make it to my goal thanks to taking care of a sick toddler and, in turn, getting sick, myself. I wound up sleeping a lot, which seriously cut into my reading time. I'm still satisfied with what I accomplished, however, as I did read some good books and am still reading some more.

This has turned out to be a really, really hectic week. I'm still hoping to finish 3 books, though! I finally got my link added to the list, so I should be all set. :-)
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by with some encouragement and to see what's what! Whatcha reading now? Hope you're enjoying the read-a-thon!
ReplyDeleteHi, Michelle! I'm a resident of Sick-ville today, so I'm lazing around on the loveseat reading Born at Midnight by C.C. Hunter. I finished both of my previous reads, so I'll be starting The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda as my ebook pick. :-)
