Once Upon a Read-a-Thon

When we signed up for this Read-a-Thon, we thought it would be easy peasey to read a lot of books in three days. Unfortunately, being summer, it wasn't easy and we weren't able to devote nearly as much time as we would've liked to our passion of reading, plus only Laurie and Caity were able to participate. 

We were able to read these books: 

Unearthly by Cynthia Hand (read together)
Wings of Shadows by Anna Kyss (Laurie)
Shades of Blood by L.M. Pruitt (Laurie)

We began: 
City of Bones by Cassandra Claire (together) pg. 123
Insurgent by Veronica Roth(together) pg. 102


Even if we didn't read as many titles as we wanted to, the books we read were all entertaining and we  liked them. Thanks to the wonderful gals of Reading Angel,  Pure Imagination and Candace's Book Blog.

And here's our answer to The Reader Bee's mini challenge for today: 
Our most anticipated book of 2012 is:
Touching the Surface 
by Kimberly Sabatini (Goodreads)

    Glad you girls enjoyed it and still got some reading done even if it wasn't as much as you'd hoped!
    Touching the Surface looks good!

    I had the same thoughts about it being easy, but then my son got sick and my books weren't as riveting >_< It's okay. Life happens! And it looks like you gals did get some good reading done in a short time frame so yay!

Reading level: Young Adult Hardcover: 272 pages Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (September 1, 2009) Book summary: The terrifying, nail-biting, and grossly intriguing sequel to The Devouring.  It's been six months since Reggie first discovered and fought against the Vours, malicious and demonic beings that inhabit human bodies on the eve of the Winter Solstice.  The Vours still haunt Reggie, but only in her dreams-until one night, when an unexpected visitor turns her nightmares into reality. My Review: Soulstice was the first book I finished for the new year. Holt has created a gripping, realistic horroriffic fantasy with likable characters, a female heroine we can root for, and a truly evil protagonist. I realized this is the first YA horror series I've read and totally enjoyed. Reggie is back, wondering what the Vours are doing in the quiet time since the incident with Quinn and her rescue of brother Henry six months earlier. The peaceful break do
