My progress so far:
| Number of Books | 3 | Books Read | |
| Pages Read | 956 | Hunting Ground | |
| Time Spent Reading | 7:10 | The Lightning Thief | |
| Time Spent Blogging | ######### | Dead as a Doornail |
And Keith has hit level 12 of 15 in Tomb Raider.
Of the 3 books I’ve read, I definitely preferred the two urban fantasies. The Lightning Thief was good and fast, but it felt a little empty, if that makes sense. It was humorous, but perhaps too childish for me. Haven’t eaten anything since my last update, either. It’s now a little after 10 pm for us and we’re both getting tired; we normally head to bed around now, so it’s just a matter of pushing through until we get a second wind.
I had an unhappy phone call this hour; my great-uncle passed away today. I didn’t know him very well – in fact I hadn’t seen him since I was a little girl – and his death was not unexpected as he had terminal cancer, but it has definitely put a damper on the evening. I’m hoping to read something fun and start feeling better about life.
Sorry to hear about your great-uncle. I also heard some bad news about Daniel’s step-father.
But may books cheer you!
