A Winter's Respite 2017 Read-a-Thon
OK so I know week-long read-a-thons are weird and don't make sense but I feel like it, OK? I feel like having a week where people ask me to do stuff and I say "Can't. Reading."
My reading plan is to work on my big library stack. Here's what I'm hoping to get through this week:
- Shade's Children by Garth Nix (351 pages, of which I've already read 28)
- Amulet, vol. 7: Firelight by Kazu Kibuishi (199 pages; graphic novel)
- Mesopotamia: The Invention of the City by Gwendolyn Leick (274 pages; I don't expect to finish this one because non-fiction takes me forever)
