As it’s now officially the fifth hour of the read-a-thon, I thought it was time for an update. I haven’t read incredibly much: I managed 2 chapters in a sourcesbook (approx. 60 pages) and the end of part 1 of Solar, as well as part 2 of Solar by Ian McEwan, which comes to about 100 pages. I have not finished any books. I might finish Solar before sleep, or I might pick up a lighter read. It is 6.30 pm here and around dinner time. I am however staying over at my unofficial parents-in-law (since I’m not married) and am bound to their dinner-times as well as their friendly conversations. I’m just going to wait and see how the next couple of hours go, but I will try to post another update.
I am enjoying Solar so far, it being my first Ian McEwan read. I’m glad, I have 3 more books by him on my shelves waiting to be read.
I have not yet visited any other participants, but I’m going to try and do that now.
Happy Reading to everyone!









It’s been so nice getting to know you…always happy to discover another Janeite. Good Luck on the Read-A-Thon! I have a wedding in the evening so I am going to have to take a little break as well!
I have never even heard of SOLAR before. Not sure how I missed out on that! Happy reading!
Hi Iris: I’ve shooing away my toddler to read. I’m having lots of fun. Family does get in the way
Enjoy. I’m off to tend to my toddler and will be back in the morning GMT.
