Magnificently Magic Read-A-Thon! Goals, Updates, & Challenges! #MMReadathon


The goal for this read-a-thon is to have fun and catch up on some of our magical, wintry, or holiday themed reads!  For more information or to sign up visit A Daydreamer's Thoughts!
Below is my short stack for the upcoming four days!



It Started with a Kiss - Miranda Dickinson
A Gift from Tiffany's - Melissa Hill
Happier at Home - Gretchen Rubin


Day 1

Reading Update:
Worked all day but made sure to read a bit before bed:)  
I read 55 pages of It Started with a Kiss - Miranda Dickinson

Day 2

Mini Challenge hosted by  Vicky at Books, Biscuits and Tea : Book Spine Poetry


In the darkest minds, 
Unspoken shadows linger
Darker still.
The twisted tragedy struck.
Goodbye for now.


Reading Update:
Worked all day!
Still reading It Started with a Kiss - Miranda Dickinson. Too tired to read much before bed...I'm on page 107 now:)


Day 3

Mini Challenge hosted by  Sheri at Shut Up and Read : Fill in the Quotes
Quote 1)
"Once upon a time, an _ANGEL_ and a _DEVIL_ fell in love. It did not end well."

Quote 2)
“She had been _INNOCENT_ once, a little girl playing with _FEATHERS_ on the floor of a devil's lair."

Quote 3)
"…When I saw her smile I _WONDERED_ what it would be like to make her smile...I thought it would be like the _DISCOVERY_ of smiling.”

Reading Update:
I finally decided to put It Started with a Kiss to the side...it was just moving too slowly for me...I'll probably try to finish it next week.  Stopped at page 148.
I then read Penny Watson's short story epilogue to Lumberjack in love and then picked up the second in her Klaus Brother's series Sweet Magik and read about 20 pages of that before crashing for the night.

Day 4

Reading Update:
This has been a bad Read-A-Thon for me! LOL...I've been in a major slump....both reading and otherwise.  Ony read a bit more in Sweet Magik so for the whole readathon I've only finished 1/2 of one book and 1/4 of another!  Oh well....

  4. That top one looks pretty! I was in a bit of a slump (for me) and yesterday was the first day I read an entire book (in one day) in awhile. But I'm still feeling a bit book blah so I didn't sign up. Plus I just heard about it last night. :)
