Bout of Books: Thursday Update

Hello everybody, the cold is almost 100% gone. Things in the lab are looking up so I have even a bit more energy to spend reading:D

Books started:

• The Name of the Wind: I am at page 304 of 662. Almost half way in and liking it sooo much

Books finished:

• The Tumble Inn: I did not love it, but it was a nice read. I will do my best to post my review tomorrow :)

Pages read so far: 521 that is counting How we Learn, another Galley that I was already working on before the Read-a-Thon started.

Reviews posted so far:

• The Tumble Inn

Blogs visited today: 

• Infusions of Wit
• From Undergrad to Author

Challenges:

• Bout of Books Scavenger Hunt by the Book Monsters. You can see my pictures here

• One True Pairing by Infinite Ink. Just in case I am spoiling it for anyone I will only say that my true pairing comes from Daughter of Smoke and Bone!

• Create a sentence by Book Reviews by a Christian Gal. I tweeted my sentence, but just in case:

It was felling night, the first time, standing in a crowded elevator, Eilert Berg was not a happy man.

      The name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfus

      The Fever by Megan Abot

      The Late Starters orchestra by Ari L. Goldman

      The Ice Princess by Camilla Lackberg 

• Like This, Try this by Writing my Own Fairy Tale 

      If you Liked this: The Girl with the Dragon Tatooby Stieg Larson

      Try this: The Ice Princess by Camilla Lackberg

   Because they are both set in Sweden, involve very dark, grimy crimes and because actually Camilla Lackberg's noir novellas were out before the Millenium ones and they are pretty cool.

See you tomorrow!

Bout of Books: Thursday Update

Hello, Hello

Another day has gone by and here is my update. Another day at the conference. But at least today the sun was shinning bright when it finished :)

Books started: Nothing new since yesterday, I did continue listening to Dreams of Gods & Monsters, I would like to finish it soon, it is so good!

• The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There: I read a 100 pages today! taking me to 260 over 344. I think I will finish it by Friday :)

Books finished:

• Sapphire Blue:I liked it. I will post the review soon tomorrow, but in the meantime, let me just tell you that this is a series that has enough elements in it to keep it interesting and different.

No reviews posted yet, at least not related to Bout of Books. However I have posted some reviews from books I finished last week.
