Dewey's Read-a-Thon Final Update!

Hi Guys, so I participated in the Dewey's 24 hour read-a-thon yesterday and it was wonderful! My TBR, To Be Read, list was:

Before I Break by Alec John Belle
Coraline by Neil Gaiman
Once a Witch by Carolyn MacCullough (Re-read)
Stardust by Neil Gaiman 

I finished Before I Break by Alec John Belle and Coraline by Neil Gaiman. I also started but did not finish Stardust by Neil Gaiman....can you see the trend? :D

I also participated in twitter sprints with such lovely people like @alyssawho. I did this through the first half of the read-a-thon, but I took a nap, which was only going to last for a hour and fifteen minutes. But no... I slept through my alarm! :(

Any who, I still in enjoyed this so much and I cannot wait for the next one, which I will definitely be taking a part in! Also I want to try being a cheerleader for the next read-a-thon! I hope everyone who took part in the read-a-thon had a wonderful time and I will talk to you soon!

BYE! XD

Severance by Michael Pristsos and Jessica Mastroakos

My Rating: 3.5/5 Stars Average Rating: 3.67 Stars Pages: 380 ISBN-13: 9871500392710 *I received a free copy of Severance in exchange for an honest review* "To be born Gaian is to be born gifted. That wasn’t always true, but as more infants were born with special talents of the mind, what was once considered abnormal became the majority. The ungifted were sent to Thalassa, an island chain off the coast of the mainland. These orphans grew up in a vassal kingdom forced to pay dues to its overseers.  In Severance, the first book of The Sovereign, a Thalassan soldier and orphan gets wind of a plot against his island home and wages war against its oppressors. A captain’s daughter fights for a love across the cultural divide. An assassin’s need for power takes him on a bloody journey throughout both lands.

Night of All Evil by J.M. Shorney

My Rating: 3/5 stars Average Rating: 4/5 stars Format: ebook ISBN13: 9781310806902 I received a free copy in exchange for a honest review from AuthorAmp.com Night of All Evil was a good gothic horror novel about a witch named Freya that has a dark past that comes back to haunt her and her family. Freya was my favorite character and I really enjoyed reading from her point of view. The thing I liked about her was how she acted in the situations she is placed in. She also is just an interesting person that also happens to be a super powerful witch, which is pretty cool. In fact once I started this novel, I had a hard time putting it down. While I really enjoyed reading the story, the character development was just okay and it was kind of predictable. However, it was still a good read that grabbed my attention and kept me entertained.                        ...
