High Summer Read-a-Thon-Wrap Up

Photobucket

Books Read: 2 (What a Demon Wants and The Girls of Murder City)

I didn't track time read or pages most days so I don't have those stats, but I did have lots of fun! I always plan to read more than my real life can allow me, though. I should know better by now! I would like to THANK Michelle for hosting! You be awesome!

Today is the last day of the 'thon and I'm going to squeeze as much reading in as I can! I have finished 2 books so far and want to finish at least one more! I've got work today so I probably won't get much more than that done.

I'm still trying to finish:The Eyes of the Dragon

It started last night at midnight, but I'm old so I am starting it now! It's 7am and my reading time is beginning with the book, What a Demon Wants by Kathy Love on my Nook!


I have work today but only for a few hours plus a trip to the grocery store, but after that I'm seriously getting down to some action. I'm planning on reading my butt off this 'thon! I'm probably not going to do a lot of updates, but I will update everyday! :)  PS-use #HSreadathon on Twitter to chat with us as we read!

My update format will look like this:

A Winter's Respite Read-a-Thon

Well what do you know? The First read-a-thon of the New Year is just about 3 days away! I can't wait! Here are the dates and times for the read-a-thon: Monday, January 17 at 12 am until Sunday, January 23 at 11:59 pm (your time of course!)

The 'thoners will be using the hashtag #readathon on Twitter so definitely join in on the conversation!

This is a pretty flexible event so you can read as little or as much as you'd like. I have to get my stack ready but I plan on really diving in and getting a GOOD chunk done! I will most likely skip this upcoming week's (17th) monday meme and post my reading stack! :)

So you know you wanna join! I know you do! Click the button up top and that ought to take you to the sign up page on The True Book Addict's blog!
