Animal Crossing Readathon: The Last Few Days

Day 10: March 18th

I can't believe the readathon is almost over and New Horizons is almost here!
I preordered my game from Target and I'm hoping it'll ship early instead of arriving Monday-Thursday of next week like it's predicting right now. I might end up purchasing the digital version and letting my boyfriend have the physical copy once it comes in...
Today I set out with the same schedule as I had yesterday. I worked on school assignments until 2pm and then put away some laundry and read 2 more chapters of Clockwork Angel. I really hope I can finish this book before the readathon is over. I also need to read the Tea Dragon Society and then I will have completed the hosts challenges for the readathon, which is not something I expected to do. I have also achieved some of my personal goals as well which is amazing! I am currently 1 book ahead on my Goodreads goal and I want to keep this momentum going! This readathon has really helped me get out of my reading slump. If nothing else good comes out of 2020, at least it will be the year I finally reach my goal of reading 52 books.

The day before New Horizons comes out! March 19th

 This will likely be my last day reading  because New Horizons will be out and I think I will be getting the digital download while waiting for my physical copy. Today I decided not to worry about school since all I have to do is respond to the class discussions, which can wait until tomorrow and over the weekend to do. So I spent the day finishing Clockwork Angel and it was so good! I give it 4 out of 5 stars! I will definitely be continuing on with the series asap!
I had previously read the first 3 books in the Mortal Instruments series and really didn't enjoy them all that much. Everyone said that if you read her books in publication order they get progressively better. So I reluctantly decided to continue with the Infernal Devices since Cassandra Clare recently released another new book and the Shadowhunter world was being plastered everywhere online again. They were right about the books getting better with this one! It felt like someone completely different had written this one compared to the first 3 I read. The characters were much more likeable and it felt like there was never a dull moment throughout the book. It also reminded me a bit of Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin, which I loved.
Really glad that I was inspired to pick this up after watching Clockwork Reader's Chain of Gold reading vlog.

Total Pages Read: 1573 
Challenges completed: 5/5
Did not do the bonus challenge or twitter challenges.

Overall, I am very proud of the amount I have read during this readathon and I am definitely excited to keep this reading momentum going!
