I decided to join Amanda from On a Book Bender in her Bout of Books Read-a-thon. The read-a-thon started Monday, 10/24 and ended Sunday 10/30. I am proud to say that I actually accomplished my goals for this read-a-thon!!
Read-a-Thon Goals
- Get caught up with my review books.
- I’d like to finish two books. I’m still working 40 hours this week so I think I should be able to do this.
Books to Knock Out
Hades by Alexandra AdornettoAll These Things I’ve Done by Gabrielle Zevin
Other Books I’d Love to Get to
- Promises, Promises by Erica James
- Tall Dark and Cowboy by Joanne Kennedy
- Lady Sophie’s Christmas Wish by Grace Burrowes
How Much Time I Intend to Read I’d like to get in 3 hours a day. It’d be ideal to get in more than that but I’m trying to be realistic.

Well I met my goal for a read-a-thon for the first time ever! I guess it helps to be realistic about what I know I can accomplish. I really enjoyed the two books that I read and liked catching up with some of my favorite characters in short stories. It was a good reading week! I didn’t have the chance to participate in any mini-challenges though I wish I had. Overall, I can’t wait to do it again. Thanks Amanda!!
