As I said yesterday, I had a full day at work today, but a
lot of time on the bus. In those bus journeys, I managed to read over 200
pages, which I was pretty happy with. I flew through The Book Thief (full
review to follow), and I’d have to say that it is the kind of book which is
perfect for a read-a-thon. Lots of short chapters are really good motivators to
read (not that you need any extra motivation with this book), and the character
voice was so unique that it was really enjoyable and easy to get swept along
with. In total I read 417 pages of The Book Thief.
Before I went to bed, I picked up my next book – The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. I’ve
slightly bent the rules for this book. It was on my TBR shelf, but it was
further down the line. However, it was lent to me by my grandma a while back,
so I thought I should boost it up there. It’s only 381 pages long, so judging
by my pace I should finish that in day 3. If not, once again it’s got short
chapters, so if I’m finding it slow there are plenty of places to pause and
pick up a different book (which will be Tigers In Red Weather). I only read 11
pages (the first chapter) before my eyes started feeling it! I’m up to page 22
(it started on 11).
Tomorrow I’ve got another shift at work (although this is
the same as Monday, so it’s not a super long shift and leaves me with all of
the morning and all of the evening to read). I’ll also try to tweet my progress
@VickiMaitland and I’ll be using and following the #RYBSAT tag!
