The Reading Rush / Day 1

It's the beginning of this year's The Reading Rush! If you haven't heard of this readathon yet, check it out HERE. 

I'm starting out by reading The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black. It fits the challenges of A Book With at Least Five Words in the title and A Book with a Non-Human Character. If I'm in a pinch towards the end of the week, this book has a tiny spot of purple on it which could count as A Book with Purple on the Cover.

I don't go to work until about 11 a.m. or noon, so I spent a good portion of my morning starting The Darkest Part of the Forest. I knew it contained fairies, but I didn't realize it's parallel to the world of The Folk of the Air. Similar to that series, I'm also finding myself enjoying the book a lot more than I thought I would. I don't know what it is about fairies, but I thought it would be a struggle for me to get the book... I'm actually enjoying it quite a lot. 

Right after working my normal office hours, I had to attend a meeting but that didn't last long so I got home around 7 p.m. I'm about 120 pages into The Darkest Part of the Forest, so hopefully it won't be long until I finish it. Next I'll either read Leah On the Offbeat or Carrie by Stephen King. 

I'll read more before turning in for the night. Check back tomorrow for my Day Two update! :)
