Reading Marathon Challenge
Hello everyone! I hope you guys had a merry Christmas yesterday and receive tons of wonderful gifts from Santa x) I dont really celebrate Christmas because I am moslem, but it is a Christmas fever everywhere so I cant help to be excited too :D
SO, because of the holiday season, I have a week off from my French Course, that means I will have a lot of free time at home. I also have absolutely no plans for celebrating new year so I think I am going to spend it at home and hopefully there will be fireworks display just like last year :)
Therefore I've been thinking, rather than just watching TV at home or slacking off, I will be having a Reading Marathon Challenge.
I realize I have too many novels in my room, and most of them I havent read yet. There are also some of them that are still sealed (I need to stop buying books I wont read). So, I decided to read them all, I mean, to read them as many as I can during my week off. I know you might think "omg how lamee, celebrating new year by reading?" or "get a life dude!" or something like that, but seriously, my novels have been piling up and they need to be read.
I already have list of books I'm going to read in this challenge, and they are:
1. The Kingkiller Chronicle: The Name of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss (233 pages to go, will finish it tonight)
2. Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld
3. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
4. The Other Hand by Chris Cleave
5. The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly
6. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
7. 9 dari Nadira by Leila S. Chudori
8. Peter Pan & Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens by J.M. Barrie
Okay, so here is how it goes: hopefully, I repeat, HOPEFULLY I will be able to finish one book per day (preferably more than one). I was able to finish The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon in one day and also Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer in one day also so I think I'll manage to finish one book per day x) I will finish the books that I bought in Melbourne first (that will be no. 1, 2, 5 and 6), because there is no way I'm going to bring them back to Melb in case I havent finish it. Then, after I finish reading a book, I will write a note about the summary of the book in here to show that "I'm done reading!" :D
Well then, the Reading Marathon Challenge starts now and ends at 4th of January next year ;)
Wish me luck!
