This is my third read-a-thon of the summer. And hopefully, I've learn a few things from the past two. Instead of making seperate post for updating my progress, I decided that one post is easier to manage. At least, that is the theory. We shall see :)
I hope I can put a big dent in my reading list. Join me in tracking my progress through this read-a-thon. Link up your progress post in the comments, and I'll be sure to drop by.

Random Thought: This description struck a chord with me for some reason. Had to share: "She would have thought an angel would have something of air, but he didn't. He was all substance: powerful and rugged and real." (p. 207)
Very beautiful. Love how the author describes an angel here.

I've been meaning to read both those books. I haven't heard too much about Ten Tiny Breaths, but people seem to LOVE Daughter of Smoke & Bone.
ReplyDeleteI loved Ten Tiny Breaths. And Daughter of Smoke and Bone has been brillant so far. If you get a chance, def give these two a try.
DeleteI have been wanting to read Daughter of Smoke and Bone like forever. As for the former, I think I should pick it up. Huh?! But then I am not in a rush. D:
ReplyDeleteI like how you have a random thought about the book read. Might try it out. ;)
Hmmm... Ten Tiny Breaths has been one of the better NA that I have read. So if you get a chance and have a free moment, give it a chance. And Daughter of Smoke and Bone has been brilliant so far.
DeleteThanks, I'll drop by and see your random thoughts ( if you decide to include it).
Will do. And I still haven't tried the random thoughts feature. :/
DeleteI hope to use it soonish. In the future. As in after the readathon. I will feel bad for the previous days then. Eheheh
