Oh yeah, a reading weekend! Thanks Alannah for hosting!Friday = 70 pages
A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine
I picked up this book because I was looking for some scifi by a female author... and there's a blurb on the cover by Ann Leckie (Ancillary Justice). Talk about judging a book by it's cover blurb!! ;D
Saturday = 85 pages
Well, meh. I'm not really enjoying the book. It's fine, I like the characters all right, but it's not great. Maybe it will pick up soon.
Sunday = 95 pages
(oops, I forgot to update!) Still not really "hooked" at this point... but it's now wednesday night and I'm around 85% done, and it's finally starting to get interesting. Maybe not enough to redeem it from the 3stars I'm going to give it, but at least it's not a waste of time!
TOTAL == 250
Happy Reading,

Better than nothing Karin, it's still a good number.
Updated my total, 560 pages. Kinda disappointed I couldn't read more.

*An easy way to keep track is using the Currently Reading feature on Goodreads, entering your page number at the end of each day. **For those who read by eReader, take the page number which shows for paperback/hardcover here on Goodreads for your total. Calculate by percentage to work out your page number read.
***For audio listeners, check out how many pages the book has on Goodreads, then divide that number by how many CDs or hours it is to give you an idea of pages per time. Don't forget to post your totals of daily or full weekend tally on the thread.
