Here is my third update for the sixth hour (1 am onwards here in Singapore) of the Dewey Readathon Challenge.

Books read: Anno’s Spain by Mitsumasa Anno

Chapter 13 of The girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson (13 pages read)

Mini-challenges:

  1. I posted another line from Anno’s Spain in the Collaborative Fiction being hosted by Tracy here.
  2. I shared my favorite classic in the ‘Oldies but Goodies’ Mini challenge hosted by A Literary Odyssey. Naturally I picked out a children’s classic: Lindsay’s The Magic Pudding which I reviewed here.
  3. I’ve also left a few comments on other readathoners’ blogs hoping for some company. Hehe.

I have a feeling I’d be turning in pretty soon. It’s quite late here in Singapore. See you readathoners in the morning. Hope to participate in more mini-challenges bright and shine tomorrow.
