The Bout Of Books 14 read-a-thon started yesterday! 😀 I decided to start with Never Never by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher to get up to read-a-thon speed… It’s a short read, so I was able to start both The Martian by Andy Weir and Fairest by Marissa Meyer as well on the same day. Fairest turns out to be not as good as the main series mostly because I don’t like Levana, but I love The Martian so far!
- DAY 1: MONDAY AUGUST 17th
# Pages read today: 159 (Never Never) + 120 (The Martian) + 50 (Fairest)
# Total pages read: 329
# Books started: Never Never by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher // The Martian by Andy Weir // Fairest by Marissa Meyer
# Books finished: Never Never by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher

I actually started Fairest first and then The Martian… I will definitely finish it before continuing with Fairest; I want to know if the main character is able to make it to the end!

Exactly! You get quite attached to him, even if he doesn’t like Disco 🙂

I’ve debated the Martian. I’m not huge into astronauts and space stuff but I’ve heard it’s great!

I’m normally not a fan of space stories either but The Martian is fascinating. Very well written and an interesting plot and main character!

Never Never was definitely interesting, although I didn’t like that it ended with a huge cliffhanger. Luckily I have an e-copy of part 2 so I can continue the story soon…

I know what you mean – I hate cliffhangers, too. They are the only authors I will suffer a cliffhanger for. LOL

I just wish I would have waited with Never Never until the third part is published. I’m pretty sure part 2 will end in a cliffhanger as well and the wait for the third part will be a long one…

It does but it’s not as bad, IMO.
