Zoe's 24 Readathon Spring 2018 Wrap Up

-
Like what I said in my previous post, my goal was to read 5 books/graphic novel. I started reading, The Geek's Guide to Unrequited Love by Sarvenaz Tash at midnight. It was 252 pages and finished it at 3 am. I really liked the book and gave it 4/5 stars. It was a fun and quick read, and I definitely relate to the main character in a way that he has his fandoms that he is obsessed about, which is what I also do.  



My second book/graphic novel was Cat Burglar Black by Richard Sala with 126 pages. I was disappointed with this one because I really like the plot but the execution was poor. There was no character development and the ending was rushed. I gave this 3/5 stars and I finished reading it at 5:18 am.


Then I took a little break and slept for a couple hours and woke up at 10am. I played a but of Animal Crossing: New Leaf. After that started reading Batgirl: Badgirl of Burnside by Cameron Stewart, which has 176 pages. I finished reading it while getting a wax 2:52pm and I gave it 4/5 stars. I liked that it is focused on Barbara Gordon's teenage life while balancing on being a superhero. I also love the artwork. I feel like it truly reflect on the story and the attention to detail is phenomenal. 

The fourth book was All in Pieces by Suzanne Young. I read about 81 pages of this before falling asleep for an hour and when I woke up I went on my daily run. After that I got ready and pack my things for my last minute trip to Laguna to visit my grandmother so I did not get the chance to read again. What I did was listen to an audiobook instead. I listened to about 90 minutes of The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien, which is 45 pages of listening. 

All in all, I read 680 pages and I did not meet my goal of 5 books (1092 pages).
