Readathon: Book 1

I can't believe that I've been reading for 7 hours.  We're almost a third of the way through the day and I'm already starting to worry that the day is going by too fast!  I just finished my first book, The Nine Lives of Chloe King, about a girl who discovers she is a cat person... with claws, night vision, and a whole society who wants to exterminate her race.  It was fun, occasionally cheesy, but that's okay.  Lots of action, lots of laugh out loud moments.  Not especially deep, but I don't think it was trying to be.  It was fun, and that's all I wanted from it.

My biggest issue was the prologue.... If it wasn't about the main character, then it was pointless... if it was, then the book never made it's way back.  It certainly wasn't a dream or something that happened before the story took place.  I'm actually really annoyed that they wasted my time with a thrilling prologue that probably won't come into play until book two or three.

Anyways, I'm going to listen to Harry Potter on audio book while I hop on the elliptical, then take a quick break for a shower before grabbing another book.  I'll be doing a mini-challenge when I get back.

  1. I feel like these Readathons ALWAYS go to fast...my reading stack is still too tall!

  2. I couldn't believe how quickly the time went. Apparently I need to start with even shorter books than I already did!

    Learning process for next time. :)
