Authorathon Wrap Up

All in all I think I've had a constructive week. I read ALL the books except for Shades Of Grey. I finished An Ember To Ashes last night and loved it- I gave it five stars on Goodreads! Another five star read was A Mad Zombie Party and I hope the series continues. I loved the character developments. Also, I read Saga #33 and #34 as well as the intended #32. I will be read #35 after writing this post :). Roses was another good read, I believe I gave it four stars. I do love a good fairytale retelling. And the last book I read this week was a short story book about  Venice which was cute and informative.

In total I read 7 books/ comics during this week... Good job!

Let me know how you got on.

Genrethon over and out

Hello,
I think I may have picked too many books for this week long readathon as I haven't read them all. Although both started - The Bazaar of Bad Dreams and The Labyrinth of Dreaming Books sorry... You'll have to sit on my TBR shelf for a little longer.

I have just finished How To Build A Girl which surprisingly really enjoyed! The other books I read this week follows: Dorothy Must Die, Mrs Pepperpot Stories, Why Not Me? And Noughts and Crosses. The latter was definitely my favourite of the month! It's the graphic novel of the book and I loved both. Five books in one week isn't bad ;)

I will now be starting Authorathon so stay tuned for a post!
Au revoir,
Sofiee

Another readathon you say? Authorathon TBR

I'm ambitiously starting this readathon with five books and one comic... Help!

My TBR case is too big! So I'll be doing more readathons to get through it. 

The questions for this readathons are:

A book by your favourite author 

-I've been loving The White Rabbit Chronicles so I thought I would continue with A Mad Zombie Party

A new to you author

-I picked Roses by a YouTuber I watch :)

Give an author another chance 

-Shades of Grey, I have started that book twice now... Maybe third time lucky?

A debut author 

-An Ember of Ashes (I want to see what a the hype was about ;) )

A book written by more than one author 

-Is it cheating to use a comic? I'm reading Saga #32 for this by two people.

An author from a different continent 

-I thought the story book I bought in Venice would be perfect for this one :)

Okay LET'S DO THIS!

Genrethon update (and final reading stints)

Hello my lovelies,
I hope you're all doing well in the readathon! So far I have finished Dorothy Must Die which I really enjoyed and Mrs Pepperpot Stories, they really remind me of my childhood... Last night I finished Why Not Me? By Mindy Kaling and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I don't usually like that genre of book but it was a quick entertaining read.

I am now reading Caitlin Moran's How To  Build a Girl and The Labyrinth of Dreaming Books. The latter is being left at home because it's too bulking to carry around! I've been trying to read as much as possible around work.

So we have two more days to go... Good luck! Eeeep!

Genrethon Late Start!

Hello!
Genrethon started yesterday so sorry for the late post! I am currently near the end of Dorothy Must Die which I am really enjoying. I'm not sure whether to carry on with the series... I probably shouldn't with the amount of books I have to read! This will be a book from the YA genre.

Then I have Mrs Pepperpot Stories for the children's genre. I also have a comic, a horror, a contemporary, memoir and a sci-fi book to read. Let's see how this week goes!

Let's get reading!!!
