Weekend Read-a-thon Wrap-Up

So, this post is a little late, but I've been super busy. Because of the busyness I only read just over ¾ of a book. My plan was to finish Black Dawn by the time the read-a-thon started, but that didn't happen, I was only able to make it ½ through. Once I finished BD on Saturday, I started Trial by Fire, which I only got a third of the way through before time was up. I'm very disappointed by this read-a-thon's results, especially considering I still have to finish Trial by Fire. *sigh* I hope the next read-a-thon goes better.

Weekend Read-a-thon [May 19-20]

So as I said in this post I'm going to have a read-a-thon this weekend. It will be from 10:30am on Saturday till 10:30pm on Sunday. As like last time updates will be on my goodreads & twitter accounts. The books I plan to read are . . .

1. Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter
2. Trial by Fire by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
3. Mistwood by Leah Cypess

I'm shooting for 3 books, though I don't think I'll get through them all. This list is all based on if I am able to finish City of Lost Souls and Black Dawn by the weekend. So hopefully by Monday I'll have finished at least 4 books. *crosses fingers and toes*

Reading Slumps & Read-a-thons

I've found myself in a bit of a reading slump lately. I have to keep reminding myself whenever I have downtime to read, otherwise I would be on my computer all the time. The good thing is that it's not as bad as one of my previous ones. I was barely reading at all, taking 2-3 weeks to finish a book instead of 2-3 days.

To try and get out of this slump I think I'm going to have another Weekend Read-a-thon. This weekend I might be visiting my aunt for Mother's Day, so the read-a-thon will be next weekend, May 19-20. Early next week I'll make an official post about it.

I don't really know what else to say, but this post feels unfinished. Hmmm . . . now I've forgotten what I was going to type, so have a good weekend!

Weekend Read-a-thon Wrap-Up

So, I didn't make my 3-book goal and, honestly, I didn't really expect to. I knew that if I set my goals higher I would be more likely to read more to try and get closer to my goal. The books I finished were Frostbite and Shadow Kiss. I was going to read The Iron Knight, but when I finished Frostbite, I didn't want to leave the VA world just then. Actually, now that I think about it, I'm quite surprised that I was able to finish Shadow Kiss on time. V kept popping up, and I had to concentrate to keep her out of the story. Nonetheless, I finished 2 out of 3 books, when I expected only 1½ to be read. ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!!

Weekend Read-a-thon

While I was browsing through my blogroll today, I came across a couple of read-a-thons going on this weekend, and about an hour ago I decided I was going to have my own read-a-thon this weekend. Starting at 10:30am until 10:30pm today and tomorrow, I am going to try a read as much as I can. My goal is to read 3 books this weekend, and the ones I plan to read are:

1. Frostbite by Richelle Mead

2. The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa

3. My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincent

I'm thinking that every so often I'll have one of these, and I'll put the cute little button I just made on all related posts. I'll post progress updates over on my goodreads & twitter accounts, and then do a wrap-up post here.
