Bout of Books Read-a-Thon



I just signed up to participate in the Bout of Books Read-a-Thon.  If you are planning on reading at all during the next week, you should join me by heading over to On a Book Bender and sign up today!

Don't forget to do some updates to let everyone know how you're progressing :)  Just follow the instructions on the read-a-thon main page. Check out events and giveaways here.

  • Complete Between by Cyndi Tefft
  • Complete The Forest of Adventures by Katie M. John
  • Bloodlines by Richelle Mead
  • Crossover by Mireille Chester
  • Meant to Be by Tiffany King
  • Waterfall by Lisa T. Bergren

  • Fated by Courtney Cole

   8/22: Today's goal: Finish "The Forest of Adventures"
            Accomplished: Goal accomplished! Moving on to Between
            Thoughts about reading material: I am heartbroken but OH so glad that Immortal 
            Beloved is being released this week! 
   
   8/23: Today's goal: Bloodlines 
            Accomplished: Ended the day at 52% through.
            Thoughts about reading material: I had forgotten this was being released today!
            Jumped right on  it. About to read some more.
  
   8/24: Today's goal: Finish Bloodlines, Complete Between 
            Accomplished: Bloodlines completed

            Accomplished:  Finshed Between.  Started Waterfall in the wee early morning hours of the 28th.
            I had a social day with some friends and then a date night with my hubby
            Thoughts about reading material: I usually read all the time and the week I sign up for a read-a-
            thon, my time is all screwy. Curse you Murphy and your Law. 

   8/28: Today's goal: Read more of Waterfall
            Thoughts about reading material: I am completely in love with this series already! Time travel back in time to ancient Italy? Boy in armor? Yes, please!


On your mark.  Get set.  READ!


Wrap-up:

This week it was incredibly unusual for my reading time to be so reduced.  I am not sure whether it was in result of the goals I set for myself or whether I have had a reading burn out.  I'm guessing it wasn't the right time for a read-a-thon for myself but I enjoyed what I did get to read.  Most likely won't be writing a review on everything I finished reading but that's alright as well.  Next time, I will try to set more realistic goals to accomplish.

  1. Good job on hitting your goal today! My goal is to simply keep track of pages read. I've never done that before and I'm a little curious. Today, I read 52 pages so far. I may hit a few more before bed but I don't think I'll hit 100.

    I'm trying to find a way to follow your blog but the blogger isn't working too good for followers just now. Belle

  2. Aw thanks. I've turned into a reading speed demon. Plus my Kindle is older and doesn't give page numbers so I was just doing it by percent.

    Thanks for trying to follow. Silly Blogger. Sometimes I have to reload people's pages twice before I can follow.
