calissaHour 16 begins (1 PM)
Books finished: 1
I took half an hour break for lunch and to watch part of an episode of Falling Skies and now I'm back to it. My shoulder is aching a bit, but otherwise I am feeling a bit more alert. I continue to read Shadowfell which has well and truly sucked me in now. I believe it is the first in the series, so I'm probably going to have to track down the rest... if they have been released yet.
Hour 17 begins (2 PM)
Books finished: 1
Starting to hit the home stretch on Shadowfell. My shoulder is still aching but I'm still reasonably alert. I think I should be able to squeeze in one more read after this book before the readathon finishes... and depending on what I pick. I shall have to see what I have lined up.
It is relatively quiet on Twitter--most of the northern hemisphere must be asleep or something.
Hour 19 begins (4 PM)
Books finished: 2
I just finished Shadowfell. Juliet Marillier continues to impress me with her deft touch. I will definitely be tracking down the rest of the series. Pressing on to Stormfront by M.C.A Hogarth, who has been recommended to me by a number of people.
Hour 20 begins (5 PM)
Books finished: 3
I managed to get through Stormfront much quicker than expected and am now on to Dawn of Avalon by Anna Elliott. I'm not enjoying it quite as much as Stormfront. It was written as a prequel to a trilogy and is a little bit shaky as a standalone piece. I'm not finding it to have a whole lot of emotion to it, either, perhaps being more concerned with balancing historical veracity with the legends surrounding Merlin and Morgan. I'm only a third of the way through, though, so perhaps it will pick up.
Hour 21 begins (6 PM)
Books finished: 4
Dinner is in the oven and I've just finished Dawn of Avalon which warmed up into a better story than it started. Contemplating what to tackle next and haven't quite decided. I'll probably take a bit of a break once dinner is ready.

Hang in there, it's the home stretch! (And thanks for the reminder of Shadowfell, this has been recommended to me before and I totally forgot about it X3)

Glad I could help with the reminder! I hope you hang in there, too, and that your wrist and shoulder ease up.
