Bout of Books 7.0: Tuesday

Books I've read from:  
The Pirates! in an Adventure with Napoleon by Gideon Defoe
Pages read today:
162
Books finished today:
1   
Running total:
  258 pages, 2 books   
Today #insixwords: 
A cheaty book; I've earned it.

So today I've read the fourth book in the hilarious series by Gideon Defoe. You can read my review of The Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists for a more thorough introduction, but they're tiny books full of dry British humour.

It does feel slightly McCheatery classing this as a whole book read in the counter thing above, but in my defence I did kick off with a reasonably heavy non-fiction so I won't feel too bad about it.


Another busy day for me today though, so I would like to have read more. I've been working at the Court today and ended up running the office on my own until 12pm. Cue a slightly frazzled Hanna.

Then after getting home, I had a legal Opinion to write for tomorrow whilst getting distracted by a vaguely psychotic Twitter conversation with Hannah, Charlotte and Ellie.   

I might get a little more reading done tonight, but I doubt it. I'm up early tomorrow and I'm super tired tonight.

Once again, I haven't got any reviews written. The plan was to write one when I'd finished this post but I've just ripped the emotional plaster off my current Drama and it hurt more than I expected, so I might postpone than until tomorrow.

  2. Hey, who're you calling psychotic? WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHY AM I TALKING TO THE WALL?!

    Just so you know, I too am stealing that GIF. I don't know why I don't have it already really, but there you go. Also, YAY PIRATES! That totally counts as an entire book - it's no more not an entire book than a pretentious novella, for example, plus it's a damn sight funnier which is always a plus point in my book. ARRRRRR. *more hugs for good measure*

  3. PAH, there are no cheaty books! Especially if you enjoyed it. That is all that matters! *cuddles you some*

  4. You so deserve a cute little hilarious book! And it totally counts. If it has a pages between a cover, it counts.

    Hope Wednesday is easier on you!
