Hi everyone,
I was up half the night (and loved it), and I managed to finish the books I had hoped for Saturday - Yay for read-a-thon! :)

I'm not sure how much i'll get done today as I'm quite tired, but I found an audiobook of Love in the Time of Cholera, so hopefully i'll still be able to add a good number for today. I also found an audiobook for The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, so time permitting this is next on the list. Audiobooks count toward the count right? Provided we can work out the page numbers?

Friday:
• Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare, 567 pages.
Friday total: 567 pages

Saturday:
• The Dressmaker by Rosalie Ham, 296 pages
• Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard, 383 pages
• A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness, 216 pages
• After Darkness by Christine Piper, 304 pages.
