So I was like "I'll read my next book in ebook format! That way I'll be more inclined to read it, since it's on the computer!"

Turns out it doesn't work like that. Internet, you're a filthy temptress.

Yeesh, I thought this one would never end. To say it's a book about accidental time travel, Time Traveler's Wife is... surprisingly dull. Also the text size is TINY so I SWEAR I've read like an extra 200 pages. BUT WHATEVER.

Books read:
The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins
Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins
Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins
The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger

Pages:
454, 472, 456, 518 = 1,900 (Mmmm round numbers are my FAVOURITE.)

Onto some autobiographies, I think. Nom.

How cruel was the Victorian Poor Law?
