Jade (JadedHare) | 6 comments I was traveling and visiting apartments during the first days of the challenge, but I did read one book, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. It was a very cute romance and interesting look into the life of teenagers around the time I was born. I maybe did not enjoy it as much as what all the hype had prepared me for, but it was still a very enjoyable read.
For page numbers, since I'm on Kindle I will just count the number of pages given in the Goodreads description.

Jade (JadedHare) | 6 comments It took me forever to read a very short book (Fairest by Marissa Meyer).
a) organizing a move to a different continent may not be the ideal time for a readathon, good thinking me
b) the concept of the book was interesting but I just was not hooked. I really like the romances Marissa Meyer writes, they're kind of a guilty pleasure. This darker character was interesting but it was difficult to identify, making it difficult to really feel for her.
