My story

Follow the Blog for Updates (here)

As of 19 August, I have gotten around to blogging about the last chapter I'm up to, Chapter 6. When the total has reached £131, I'll be committed finishing Chapter 7 and blogging about it. To see my progress, and what I think of the story so far, follow the blog.

What I'm Doing

It's been a while since I read a novel, not since school in fact - I prefer non-fiction books about science and computing.

For ever £1 you donate, I will read 1 page of 'Twilight' - a vampire-themed young-adult fantasy romance novel by American author Stephanie Meyer. If I meet the goal of £434 I'll read the entire book (as there are 434 pages).

My chosen charity is Room to Read, which focuses on literacy and gender equality; helping girls in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Tanzania, Vietnam, and Zambia to complete their education. Check out the description and link to the right.

Hi Lee, Hope this helps you on your way... I estimate that this should be around 1% more of your book you have to read.... :-)

I've never read 'Twilight' - so don't know whether you'll enjoy it or not - but it's a worthy cause. Enjoy your 10 pages!
