Oh man, this is quite the late entry. Hello to whoever reads my blog! I was not able to update my progress for Day 6 on the actual day of Day 6... but here I am nonetheless! I made a good amount of progress on Day 6. As you know, I began reading The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken. I didn't make a significant amount of progress reading it. I mean, I like it. I love the characters and the story is great and all, but I simply couldn't get into it. I guess I was still in the contemporary mood.
But then, I began another read-a-thon! Oh, would you look at that? I'm being an overachiever! No, but seriously. I heard about the #MAYFORMI (May for Mortal Instruments) Read-A-Thon hosted by Miranda and Gary (more information here). It's basically a read-a-thon for The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare. Like most of those participating in it, we're doing it in preparation for City of Heavenly Fire! So much excitement!
I will admit, I started really late in the game. There are only eight days left until City of Heavenly Fire and it's pretty much crunch time. So I decided to multi-task and begin #MAYFORMI at the same time of Bout of Books. Therefore, I stopped The Darkest Minds because I couldn't get into it though I definitely plan on continuing it! I like it, but I'm just not into it right now.
So on Day 6, I began reading City of Bones. Ah, I couldn't believe how much I've missed the Shadowhunter world. And I'm really getting into it again. I love the familiarity of the first book and it's just a great feeling to re-read this book again. It makes me feel so happy and ah, I guess I'm falling in love with the series all over again!
All in all, I definitely did not stick to my TBR list! But I am very happy with my reading progress. If you're participating in this read-a-thon, I hope you progress is swell! Today is the last day of the read-a-thon so I hope you'll finish strong in this last stretch!
Happy reading (:
