Readathon - Hour 6
This is the hour where I start a 3 hour break to eat a proper meal and watch a couple of hour of 'Strictly Come Dancing'. I also hope to be able to visit a few people blogs to give them a cheer, I think hour six is where the headaches start kicking in so you need some support :)
What have I been doing since you last saw me? Well I've read about 130 pages of 'The Woman in White' and I'm now 226 pages from the end. That's mega good progress as this is my last book for the RIP challenge and it has to be finished by the end of next week. I can't say too much aout this one as I'm reviewing it as part of the Wilkie Collins blog tour in November, so I'll just say some really sinister goings on are taking place and it doesn't look good for the two sisters Marianne and Laura. Everyone seems so dense about Count Fosco and the true extent of his evil influence, but perhaps I am being mislead by the author and he will come good in the end (I doubt it though, he is one creepy character).
I've also eaten quite a few Mars Planets, two rich tea biscuits (small rectangular ones) which I dipped in my first cup of tea of the day, a sandwich and some spicy M&S hand cut crisps (actually I went back for some more of those this afternoon). I'm keeping myself hydrated with juice and plenty of water (the more water you drink the more alert your brain is apparently).
I just quickly want to get in on Bart's mini-challenge. You have to construct a sentence out of book titles, take a picture and link it to Bart's challenge. Man is this addictive, could have played with it all night but in the end I got:

The Pirates: looking for Alaska, sleeping with fishes; funny how things change. (Punctuation added and quite probably wrong).
Again good luck readathoners!
