We're headed into Hour 17, so it's time to show us your reading love. Easy task again, just tell us what's the fifth book on your bookshelf (virtual or literal).
1. What did your read so far? How many pages?I slept, so no much reading done. 100 more pages on Fées, 25 pages on Big Little Lies and one chapter on iZombie vol.1
2. Resume your book in one word.
Mysteries (for Big Little Lies)
We finished 16 hours of the read-a-thon. I hope you're not too tired of reading, there are some more hours to go.
Checkpoint time!

Quote that inspires you or gives you all the feels from a book that you’ve read?
“Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.” ― Gustave Flaubert
Reading regret?
Buying the 4th first A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones), I won't read 3 and 4, really not for my tastes.
Glad you gave this book a chance:- Hollow World by Sullivan
Hidden Gem Book:
- Genesis by Bernard Beckett, very different from what I expected and this ending... jeez!
Important moment in your reading life:
- Starting to use ebooks and Goodreads, it helped me to read a lot more (like from 6 books/year to infinity and beyond).
Just finished:
- Lumberjanes vol.1
Kind of books you won’t read:
Books with abuse (trivialized or made as a positive thing) mostly and history books.
Longest book you’ve read:
- As some others, it seems it's Les Misérables (I'd a 3 books edition, so it was not that big).
And welcome, Kristophor :)
2, 3 and 4 checked (I tried the 4th before posting to see if I could read a full page, it left me sea sick :p).Marina > same hour for me, I'm in bed and will sleep a little :)
Mansu > feel free to change some of them if you want. You can do the 5th on bed for example!
We hope your books are good for the moment! We're headed into Hour 7, it's time to challenge yourself a little and read differently...Challenge (check 3 on 5):
1. Read 1 page while walking.
2. Read 5 lines on 1 foot only.
3. Read 1 page with 1 eye closed.
4. Read 5 lines with your head upside down.
5. Read 1 page lying down on the floor.
A. Terry Pratchett (around 50 books).B. Probably The Waste Lands (The Dark Tower #3), I find it better than the previous books and the sequels.
C. Big Little Lies
D. Tea
E. E-reader
F. I enjoy male characters as communicative as walls so I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have dated one of them :p
You can't lock the screen Ella?
Gosh, some of you have very impressive to-read lists!
Ah, the last one is perfect to end a A to Z :D
We're headed into Hour 6, so let's do a little bookish survey, borrowed from here.A to Z Survey:
Author you’ve read the most books from:...
Best Sequel Ever:...
Currently Reading:...
Drink of Choice While Reading:...
E-reader or Physical Book?...
Fictional Character You Probably Would Have Actually Dated In High School:...
We'll continue it on Hour 10.
401 books to read!
We're headed into Hour 5, so it's time to show us your reading love. Easy task again, just tell us how long is your to-read list on Goodreads.
1. Big Little Lies (I read 50pages), Fées, Weed & Guillotines (I read 90pages) and I finished Lumberjanes vol.1 (4*).2. She's a fairy, very bad mouthed, and the last time she visited our world, it was during the french revolution (1789). At this time, she went to the guillotine and she's very angry because of this.
3. I'll continue Big and Fées and I'll try the first volume of iZombie (comic book).
We finished the first 4 hours of the read-a-thon. Don't forget to have a short break to eat, drink, walk or whatever, to rest a little your eyes :)
Checkpoint time!
1. What did your read so far? How many pages?
2. Tell us something about one character of your book.
3. What will you read next?
