Hi Blisses,
Yay!!! We finished our first day-a-thon for this year. As you all know Day-A-Thon is our version of a 24-Hour Readathon. I do this with Nori from Diary of a Book Fiend and we always try to do it every last weekend of the month. Last month we didn’t have time to do it, but thankfully we did this month. I can’t even tell you exactly how happy I am we did the readathon.
It’s not just because I enjoy doing nothing but read for 24 hours, it’s because I read my first 4.5 and 5-star rated books during the readathon, and I still can’t get over that fact. This means a LOT to me because after that 2 months hiatus with no reading and even writing, I had this doubt that my love for reading will never be the same again. Maybe for some, 2 months hiatus is fine but even before those two months, I already gone through several on-and-off hiatus. I didn’t enjoy reading the same way but I think during this day-a-thon, I’ve been reborn. Hehe.
Okay, here’s the summary of what i did during the readathon.
No. of Books read: Two (2)
No. of Pages: 929 pages.
No. of posts: Five (5)

*1 Wrap Up
And 1 movie. I watched A TAXI DRIVER as a form of my break from reading. Definitely a high recommended Korean film. But let’s talk more about my reads.
I reviewed Serpent and Dove and you can read my review HERE. I already wrote a review for THE GRACE YEAR but it’s still needs editing. I’ll post it tomorrow, besides I already posted a lot today. 🙂
Overall, I enjoyed our readathon so much. Aside from reading such amazing books, I also enjoyed chatting with Nori, and Misty. If you want to join us next month, you can do so because I’m definitely doing this again. 🙂
Glad that your dayathon was a success Lili.

I still have 4 hours left for the readathon. I had so much fun and it gave me the extra push I needed to get back to reading after my surgery. I look forward to next months dayathon if y’all decide to do it.

I’m guessing you’ve finished day-a-thon by now. I overslept today. I just woke up and it’s almost 10 am. 🙂 I’m glad you had fun, obviously, I had too. And we’re gonna do it again next month. I was reminded how fun readathons can be.
By the way, you do the tropeathon again right? I checked and you did it already this year. I checked because I’m looking for readathons, not 24-hour readathon but weekly or monthly ones.

Yeah I have finished now. Yay I was hoping y’all were going to do it again next month.
Yes we will be doing Tropeathon again but I’m not sure when. We were supposed to do it this month but Michelle has been having to take care of her mom and then I had my surgery so we had to postpone it for a little bit.
