Fairy Tale Read-A-Thon Progress

Day 1 March 9th

pg 0 to pg 54 in The Host by Stephenie Meyer

So far The Host is pretty confusing, but it is getting better and I'm quite liking the story.

pg 5 to pg 8 in Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie

The Disney Movie wasn't too far off with Peter Pan.

Unfortunately my to-do list a mile long so I don't have overly a lot of time to read. A fun weekend of Girls State Basketball came to an end last night. Like I said in an earlier post my high school was competing in State this year. We came in as the number 7 Seed and we were playing the number 2 Seed on Thursday night. It was a hard fought game and we were able to come out with the win. On Friday night we were the last team of the night to play and we played the number 3 Seed. We played an okay game, but that team was tough and we weren't able to pull through. We lost on Friday night and went on to the final round on Saturday night to compete for 3rd or 4th place. I'm really proud that we got that far. We were taking on the number 6 seed. The number 6 seed plays really tough defense, but I also think they play a lot like our team. I thought it would be a lot closer than it was, but with one of our players getting injured Friday Night it was hard for us to keep up. We didn't win that game and we ended State Championships with a Fourth Place Title which I'm still very proud of. I can see us coming back next year and competing in State again.

Hard day for reading. I have just had a to do list a mile long with getting my senior slideshow done. I listened to Peter Pan while I scanned pictures yesterday so that is how I got so many pages done. My senior slideshow is done so now I just have my research paper for English to go. Then after I get that done I should have some quality reading time.

I stayed up late last night to finish Peter Pan and write my no spoiler/spoiler book and movie review which I will be posting during fairy tale fortnight hosted by the book rat and a backwards story. This review is by far I think the best review I have done. It is for sure the most creative post I have done on my blog. I only was able to read a few pages of The Host, but every little bit counts. That marks the end of the fairy tale read-a-thon so look out for my wrap up post.
