It is now 10am and huge thanks to everyone who joined in with the Book Balancing challenge, we will contact the winner asap.
I have finished 'The Innocents' by Francesca Segal - 357 pages
Monkey is on 349 of 'Cell' and has read all 289 pages of 'Silver Linings Playbook' by Matthew Quick.
I am moving on to 'Broken Verses' by Kamila Shamsie.
In the meantime we have done more challenges.
The Book Jenga Challenge is on at Curiosity Killed the Bookworm, and here is our stack:
And then incorporating two challenges into one activity here is Monkey participating in the 3-2-1 Action Challenge over at Vonnie's Reading Corner, where you are asked to act out a scene from the book you are reading. Here Monkey is being a plane crash that occurs right back at the beginning of 'Cell' by Stephen King.
We might pop back later if the last few challenges sound fun.
12.30pm The Books Around the World challenge is going on at Esther's Ever After til 1pm. My list is taken from my book review page:
A Pale View of the hills by Kazuo Ishiguro - Asia
Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngosi Adichie - Africa
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy - Europe
A Brief History of the Dead by Kevin Brockmeier - Antarctica
Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut - South America
