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....

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.
