Read-a-Thon Update 6

The tiredness is setting in but won’t stop ..I am trying to push myself to the limit to see what is my capacity..I never knew I could do this much by sleeping only around 3 hrs . I know once the readathon ends I am gonna crash on my bed and sleep blissfully  10 hrs straight. But till then, I am gonna go read..

Read-a-Thon Update 5

Now , reading books makes one , hungry and I have been eating like some one who has been starved for days 🙂 Parents had that worried look on their face when went raiding the refrigerator for something edible, just an hour after I had eaten a large size veggie burger . Food makes me read more 🙂

I added a few more graphic books as spacers and it feels good on reading them after a heavy novel.
