I had lots of fun doing my first read-a-thon hosted by Katie's Book Blog from August 16-20. I did pretty good with my goals. I didn't read all of the books I was hoping for, due to life getting in the way, but it did get me out of the small reading slump that I was in at the beginning of this month.
This is what I finished:
Moloka'i by Alan Brennert, Smooth Talking Stranger by Lisa Kleypas, and A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray (Click on titles for my reviews)
This is what I got started, so I hope to finish soon:
I am very happy to know that I made some good progress during this read-a-thon and I am looking forward to another soon.
The total pages read: 893
The total hours listened: 10 hours and 23 minutes
You can visit my progress and see how I did :)
Great job! I've been meaning to read A Great and Terrible Beauty for a while now. Hope you had fun read-a-thoning!
ReplyDeleteHi Honey, I'm home!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed your whole read-a-thon thingy.
Looks like you did good!
I chose not to read Moloka'l because it got such mixed reviews. And then you go and give it such a great review?? I may have to think about this one some more.
I too was hesitant about Moloka'i but I am so glad that I read it! It's such a great book! I read A Great and Terrible Beauty right after Moloka'i and it was too easy and simple. I came to appreciate Alan Brennert's writing even more.
DeleteCongrats on the read-a-thon! I'm glad it got you out of your reading slump. That's always a good thing!
