#SundayChallenge - Week 5 19th-26th October!

#SundayChallenge - Week 5 19th-26th October!
Read ONE book in a genre thatisn't your usual pick (any length, any format)

So this week, I thought I would delve in at the deep end and read a collection of Essays on NYC, never really read non fiction for fun before, and I am OBSESSED with anything to do with New York City. So 'Never Can Say Goodbye' by Sari Botton seemed the perfect fit for this weeks challenge.

Sadly I never considered the logistics of this book, I could never read more than maybe two essays in one go. I get like this with Short Story anthologies so I should have seen it coming, by Thursday night I had given in and vowed to start a new book on Friday. I will definitely continue to read this as I do enjoy it and actually read about 60% of it, but will take my time over it rather than try to marathon read it and struggle.

So I chose a YA book, 'Between the Lives' by Jessica Shirvington. Friday night came and went and I managed a pathetic 2 pages, and then on Saturday I managed to get 13% of the way through, thankfully Sunday morning really focused me and I managed to complete the rest with about 1 hour to go *Phew*. It was quite easy as it really grabbed me, I was compelled to know what was going to happen, and it didn't turn out how I expected at all!

This weeks #SundayChallenge is to read 1 book that is either an author's debut book, or 1 book that is from an author you haven't read before. 2 Participants will win "The School Gate Survival Guide" by Kerry Fisher.
