~Bout of Books~ Read-A-Thon Day 3

Bout of Books
Guys! This "back to school" business is killing me! I swore to myself I wouldn't fall into the "yay the kid is on break let's not wake up at 5am now!" trap..but alas..I did! So now the transition back into waking up early is killing me!

I wanted to read about 100 pages in Emma, but I failed. I did read, but no where close to 100 pages. :( I did however make it to my read-a-long twitter chat! I only stayed for part of it because my eyes were twitching, but I made it! Woot!

Today I'm going to aim for 25-30 pages in Emma (pg. 64) and 25 pages of Fall On Your Knees (pg. 162).

Anything over that is gravy. :) Way to aim low huh? lol

Anyways, here's my stats so far:



Day 1 Progress:

Books read: 0
Pages read: 70
 
Day 2 Progress:
Books Read: 0
Pages read: 79
 
Day 3 Progress:

Diet Day 3-2/13

I became a bottomless pit yesterday! I could not get enough food! Seriously! I was told it was my body basically detoxing from carbs and sugars, so I just ate. I ate everything that was "legal" and drank lots of water! I didn't lose a lot but I'm down 0.5 lbs! I wasn't even thinking I'd lose that so YAY!


Diet Goals for Today:
  • drink my 128oz of water
  • 10 minutes of exercises

Cover to Cover Challenge Read-a-Thon! Day 3

This is what I've supposed to do up until now: (Taken from a previous post)
Saturday 21st-
  1. Assassin's Apprentice-I would like to finish it tonight. (almost finished)
  2. The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making (haven't done)
Sunday 22nd-
  1. Catch Up-The Crimson Petal and The White (still need this)
  2. Catch Up-John Adams (i am not part of the read-a-long officially but I'd like to finish) (still need this)
Monday 23rd-
  1. Game of Thrones-finish it (ditto as above)

Yeah so you can see how far behind I am from my ridiculously self-imposed schedule! So what I'm going to focus on today is getting Assassin's Apprentice finished (shouldn't be that hard, it's really good!) and then grazing through these above!

Assassin's Apprentice:
starting: 329
ending: 435
Total Pages:106

I finished! Now onto the next book!

There that should do it! :)

Thankfully Reading Weekend-Last Day + Mini Challenge



Welp, it's the last day! :( I have had fun and even though I haven't been able to read as much as I'd like I'm enjoying myself! :)

Last night I got a good chunk of Thunder and Ashes read. It's a very quick read so hopefully I can finish it and get another good chunk read out of The Distant Hours.

I have work today (woot) so I will take every spare moment and give it to reading!

So to start:

Thunder and Ashes
start on page: 105
ended-156

The Distant Hours
start on page: 361


Today’s Mini-Challenge is hosted by Jen from Devourer of Books:

So what I want to know, is what reading community are you thankful for, and why? Are you thankful for book bloggers? The book community on Twitter? Your spouse or family that lets you ramble on and on about what you’re reading and doesn’t complain (at least not too much) about the myriad of books flowing into the house?


I am incredibly thankful for the book blogging community in general! Everyone I've "met" through my blog has been super awesome and fun! I've always kind of been the "quiet girl in the corner with her books" but you guys have kinda pulled me out of that! I love it! I am eternally grateful for it too!
