Ah March. You have been an awful month this year, full of far too much work and not enough fun.
That, plus the fact that I've been at work more this month than in the previous 2 months of the year, and I was layed low by a stomach bug just before my birthday, means I have really, really disliked what is normally my favourite month of the year. Oh ( Read more... )

I also started reading A Series of Unfortunate Events #12 - The Penultimate Peril by Lemony Snicket and The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner by James Hogg (which is the next text in my Gothic Novel module.)

It it was the former, then I reached it (just). If it was the latter, then boy howdy, did I fail!

Now, I am not including manga, as I tend to read a chapter a week and don ( Read more... )

Ok. So I found out that I am not working all day on the Read-a-thon (yay!) I'm just doing the matinee performance, so will begin about 4 hours late, but still should get a lot of reading done.
