Once Upon a Read-a-thon Updates - Day 1

Time to do some updating, even though I haven't gotten much done yet. (Work made me tired.... So instead of reading after work, I took a nap. Would be nice if I could figure out how to read while I'm sleeping. Although, when I was falling asleep for my nap, I did have Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie playing. Book movies, audiobooks, book/movie soundtracks.... I'm gonna do a little of everything.)

What I've read so far....

I finished Magic Burns (Kate Daniels #2) by Ilona Andrews.

• So that was about 2 hours of reading (I really need to stop leaving the TV on for background noise.....)
• I read 87 pages cuz that's what was left.

Now, I'm going to start....

It's finally time to read Dead Rules by Randy Russell. I've heard it's wonderful, and I'm hoping to eat it right up.

Day 1 Challenge (from IB Book Blogging) : My Answers

Question 1:

      What is your favorite type of myth (Greek, Roman, Egyptian, etc)?

- I am most familiar with Greek myth. Love it. Know a little bit of Roman and Egyptian. I just love mythology in general though. Definitely want to get more familiar with other mythologies like Norse and maybe Celtic.

Question 2:

       What is your favorite book with some type of mythology in it?

If it has mythology in it, I'm already slightly inclined to 'heart' it even before I've read. I don't really have 1 favorite though.

• Love Rick Riordan's books, especially the Percy Jackson series and the new Heroes of Olympus series. I also like the first book in the Kane Chronicles. Egyptian myth is quite cool.
• Darkness Becomes Her  by Kelly Keaton was a cool book. Mythology and paranormal creatures put together was quite exciting.
• I could go on and on..... I've also read Abandon by Meg Cabot and The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter. Both did a twist on the Hades/Persephone myth. Pretty coo.
• I have Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini waiting patiently for me to find time to read it. I've heard it's quite good. Yay!  :-D

And..... now I'm done updating for the day.

Time to start reading Dead Rules. Yay!

It's Monday! What are you reading? (13)

Once Upon a Read-a-thon Starts NOW!

(....or technically it started about 20 minutes ago.... Eh....)

I'm planning to do about 30 minutes to 1 hour of reading right now before I catch like 2 hours of sleep before work. (It's a sucky work day..... 3:30AM to 7:30AM and 10:30AM to 1:30PM) In the afternoon after work, I plan to start reading again. I'm gonna try to keep at it until I get to tired.


First, I'm going to finish up what I was already reading....

After that, I've already decided that I'll be reading....

....cuz I've been dying to read it and finally bought it.

Then, I'll be choosing my next book out of these.....

(I really hope I get far enough to start on one of those.)

This should be fun!

(this one I won from Small Review sent from its lovely author, Lisa T. Bergren)

(this one I won from Romancing the Darkside, which was also sent by its lovely author, Zoe Winters)

I'm going to be participating in the Once Upon a Read-a-thon (July 11-13)

This Readathon is hosted by Lori at Pure Imagination, Candace at Candace's Book Blog, and Angela at Reading Angel. It runs from 12:01 AM on July 11 to 11:59 PM on July 13th.

This will be the second read-a-thon that I have ever participated in. I hope to do better this time. This one has a longer run time, so I think it might be possible. I do have to work on Monday and Tuesday, but I'm off on Wednesday, which is the last day. I'm gonna try to read two books, or finish up whatever I was already reading and read another whole book.

I'm getting excited. This should be fun.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It was awesome! I liked it. Ate it right up. Would be reading right now if I didn't have other things I needed to read first.



I have to say, I'm really liking Mac as a heroine. She's not super whiny like others sometimes are. She's getting tougher and not letting Barrons or other people walk all over her as much anymore.



The story in this one was good. Learned a tiny bit more about V'lane. (I don't trust those Fae. Sneaky little things.) Some characters from the last book showed up like the main baddie and Mallucé, who is not dead, but pretty close (He was soo icky and crazy. Bleah.).



They were new characters too. All of which I need to know more about. Some might be good. Some are most definitely bad. I feel for Mac. She doesn't trust anyone. I don't trust any of them either.



And on to someone that I really don't trust, Jericho Barrons. That man (or not? At this point, I really have no idea.) is an enigma that is really starting to grind on my nerves. I don't know what to make of him, which is the same problem that Mac is having. Trust him, don't trust him. Who is he/what is he, where did/does he come from, what does he want out of the whole sitiuation, why does he care about any of it at all (if he actually does care)? Too many questions, not enought answers. I'm soo frustrated right now. Plus, he's totally hot. I don't know what to think.



I would soo be starting right now mainly because of Barrons if I didn't have other things to read first. Moving it way up the stack though. I have questions, and I demand answers. I will have them eventually.
