The Last Hope before the End of the World due to the Collapsing of All the Unread Books
You're both doing great! :) And because of you Elinor, I started Lucifer yesterday 😁
Extra ! (I don't know what's the english expression and couldn't find it on the web, and I don't dare search more in fear of spoilers...) I hope you like it :) I love him so very much@Kari : nope I haven't read this series yet, I think I was planning on doing so at some point with someone, probably Siobhan ?
I'm loving the series! Okay so I finished Bloodfever.
I'm ill and accordingly the readathon is turning out to be very net successful!
I'm sure I'm going to love it as well :) I love me some AI ^^How are you doing on this final line of the readathon ?
I will do a better wrap-up tomorrow, but I'm happy with my progress :)
Was just going to ask how the readathon is going! I'll check back for your wrap up XD

Yes, I really like it so far :) And good luck for the last hours of your Readathon Elinor and Kari :)
Thank you ❤️This has been an amazing readathon!
Final Update - 2,340 Pages
So, I completely deviated from my readathon goals because I kept going shiny and rushing there. A nice final readathon before I have to reduce my reading!
Here is what I did read -
1. Half of Binti ~ 40 Pages
2. 2 stories from Evil is a matter of Perspective ~ 50 Pages
3. 2 Chapters from Riyria ~ 40 Pages
4. Watched one episode of Poirot.
5. All Systems Red - 144 pages
6. Artificial Condition - 158 pages
7. Shadowfever - 689 pages
8. Faefever - 327 pages
9. Bloodfever - 337 pages
10. Dreamfever - 529 pages
11. The Alpha Alternative: JZB Sex Scene - 16 pages
How did you like the jzb sex scene? I thought it was really weird and out of place. It's another Fever thing that i now pretend I never read.
It was weird, the interview before it was weird, and the interview with jzb in one of the other books was even weirder. I'm going to pretend I have never read it either!
Mod
And here is my final wrap-up :On the manga front :
I read 4 volumes, not all of them where on my list : Im volume 8, SOS Love volume 1, Cheeky Love volume 2 and Eyeshield 21 volume 5, for a total of 758 pages.
On the novel front :
I finished La Riposte - 170 pages
I read 30 pages instead of 100 pages of Dragon Rider
I read 80 pages instead of 40 pages of City of Ashes
I read Ruin and Rising up to 25% - 65 pages
I read The Thief Who Pulled on Trouble's Braids up to 30% - 19 pages
And I started Fièvre fatale with 59 pages.

Hahaha 😂
😝😝
I am now! Or at least I will be on Monday if I don't make a good dint in Crooked Kingdom! XD
Greatest achievement : reading the 100 pages of GotM ! Now some Brandon Sanderson to have some fun ^^
I lied. I found out that W - Two Worlds has been added to Netflix, so, good-bye, world, I'm going on a drama binge. (well not really but there won't be as much Sanderson as I had hoped to in the next couple hours)
Haha XD enjoy!I managed about 300 pages of Crooked Kingdom so I'm happy with that! :)
Look at Virginie with everything crossed off 😝 swot! 😂
I finished Grey Sister and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, so I'm quite happy with myself :) I hope to get a little more reading done tonight!
Good job girls !Well I only watched one episode actually, but then I spent an hour playing with my cats. Not progressing on the Sanderson front but happy anyway :)

- read at least 100 pages of Hero at the Fall
- read at least 100 pages of Sturmbogen (Greatcoats 2.5)
That's a heavy list there Elinor. :)Good luck!!
@Anni - how was Miss Peregrine's?
Laura wrote: "@Anni - how was Miss Peregrine's?"It wasn't amazing and (of course) I didn't like the lovestory, but I went in with no expectations at all and was positively surprised. It's short and entertaining and I loved all the photos :)
