#Readathon Wrap-up

First of all, my husband rocks. He pampered the hell out of me over the weekend. He kept the kids away so I could read all morning, got me my own hotel room for the night so I could read in peace, and then treated me with a 1 hour massage the next day. 

I got up at 5am on a Saturday to read books.  

I'm pretty sure that solidifies my geek status. 

I read for just over 18 hours...with a few breaks to eat (although I tried to eat while reading) and shower. 

I finished "Limbo" by Dima Zales. This was given to me to review through the same program that gave me "Oasis," the first book in the series. It was pretty good. I don't normally pick up sci-fi but the plot and relationships are interesting enough to keep me engaged. 

Next up, I picked up Volume One of the Night World collection....a book with the first 3 singles in it. I'd forgotten just how much I love these books. I closed the volume and found myself sad that I didn't have the others. I gladly would have read the entire series that day. 

I had a NetGalley release copy of "Just a Girl" by Ellie Cahill. Remember that book "Call Me Maybe" I LOVED? Same author! 
​
After that, I read books 4-6 in the Rebekka Franck series. I guess you'd call it crime something? I don't know the exact genre. I think they're translated from Danish...so there are a few spots where the translation doesn't totally work but I could make sense of it. 

I ended up going to bed close to 11pm. So, I didn't make it the full 24 hours...but 18/19 hours and over 1600 pages is still pretty damn impressive! 

I have another readathon (Bout of Books) coming up the second week in May! I'll be making those posts soon.

As I type this, my clock is clicking over to 5:17am and I've decided I've probably lost my mind. 

Because only someone missing a few marbles would wake up at 4:45am JUST TO READ BOOKS ALL DAY right? 

Meh. I accept this. 

I'll post at the end to wrap up, but you can follow me on Twitter (@KasMorin) or Snapchat (Kasmorin) to keep up with my updates!! 

​Now then....

Where I've Been....I'm Still Here!

You've probably noticed I've been absent from the blog world. 

If you haven't....hi. Don't click back to see the time difference between the last few posts. 

I wish I had good excuses. I mean, I guess I do (that's what this post is all about) but mostly...I just haven't been writing. 

Last week I got the worst migraine I've ever had. Normally, I'm somewhat functional because, thanks to my horrendous periods, I can compartmentalize pain. This one, however, had me curled up in a dark room praying I didn't throw up. I'd fall asleep and wake up feeling okay until I moved and the pain would start up again. I wasn't able to EAT so I couldn't take anything. I ended up in Urgent Care desperate for *something* to make me function again. It sucked so bad. 

The next day I was still icky feeling but better. 

The day after THAT...I woke up with pinkeye. Now, the night prior I 100% know I got cat hair in that same eye. So, I don't know if it triggered something (that lasted for days) or if I caught it from the school and the timing was a coincidence. 

Either way....screw this "childhood illnesses as an adult" crap. 

In other news: I'm on a new medication dosage because the 40mg Prozac was blocking me creatively. The 30mg seems okay. 

Mostly...I'm worn out. I can't even really describe how I'm feeling. It's not the lower med dosage talking. This has been building for quite sometime. 

Plus, you know, a massive migraine followed by pinkeye makes for a pretty crappy week. That will knock anyone on their ass. 

So yeah. I have a few blog plans in my head. I just have to write them.
