Easter Read-a-thon - Thursday-Saturday update

So.

"How's the Easter Read-a-thon going?" I hear you ask.

Not great if I'm honest.

You see there are just too many people around. I knew it was a mistake to try and do an Easter Read-a-thon when all the family was going to be here, but I've been trying to snatch times when I can read and I've made as good an effort as I can do.

Thanks to me kind of cheating and counting the reading I did on Thursday night I've managed to finish Dominion which I'm very pleased about although it's not the best CJ Sansom I've ever read. I'm not good at the book reviews but maybe I'll stretch to a couple when the Read-a-thon is done. Usually I prefer to leave the reviews to the professionals like Kate but I guess this is a special occasion.

Whilst it has been difficult to have chunks of time to read, I've become the master of snatching moments when I can read...

I have read whilst in bed on Good Friday morning...

 

I read whilst we waited for Mum and The Person to arrive, under the watchful eye of Rowan.


I read on Saturday morning whilst The Person slept soundly...


I had an excellent opportunity to read on Saturday afternoon but I succumbed to sleep and woke up with Rosie pinning my feet down so I did a little bit more reading...


I read whilst it snowed and I read whilst the sun shone...


I have moved on to Toby's Room now and I am enjoying it muchly, I do enjoy a bit of Pat Barker.

Will I read multiple books? Hell's no. But it has been nice to feel I have an excuse to read. 

My crochet is suffering though and that makes me feel a little bit antsy...

  1. I love these pictures - sort of A View From Behind The Books :) I have done no reading whatsoever this weekend but I have done a Big Tidy and learned to cast on so it hasn't been a total waste :)
