Video Sunday: Writers' Blok by Jackson Pearce

I can't stop looking at this video. Seriously, it's hypnotizing. Jackson Pearce. is. my. hero.

ETA: I also can't stop listening to Zoe Marriott's voice. Her accent is mesmerizing. She has her "one-week blogiversary giveaway" open right now, and don't you want to enter after watching this?

The Huge TBR Readathon wrap-up post

I think I've done fairly well in this readathon. Of course, as it usually happens, I've been blog-hopping  and  web-surfing a lot more than reading, thus discovering many new blogs, and many, many new books I'd like to read! Geez.

Finished reading:

•  Deenie by Judy Blume
• The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux (Italian translation)
• Fairy Tale by Cyn Balog
• One Bloody Thing After Another by Joey Comeau (e-ARC)
• Bianca come il latte, rossa come il sangue by Alessandro D'Avenia

Almost finished reading:

• Waiting for Snow in Havana by Carlos Eire (Italian translation)

Started reading against my better judgement, because I couldn't help myself:

• French Literature - A Very Short Introduction by John D. Lyons
• Sonnets from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
• The Poison Diaries by Maryrose Wood (blame HarperCollins Sneak-Peek Complete Access)
• Wildthorn by Jane Eagland (blame Netgalley)

Not too shabby, I guess ;-)

The Huge TBR Readathon

I've just found out about the Huge TBR Readathon, hosted by Kristen at Bookworming in the 21st Century for the week of June 14-20, and decided to join. I won't be setting myself too ambitious goals (otherwise, I'd just end up with a reading indigestion), and try to finish at least a few of the books I've started in the last few weeks:

• The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
• Fairy Tale by Cyn Balog 
• One Bloody Thing After Another by Joey Comeau
• Deenie by Judy Blume
• Waiting for Snow in Havana by Carlos Eire 
• Sonnets from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
• Bianca come il latte, rossa come il sangue by Alessandro D'Avenia

 Have fun reading, people!
