High Summer Readathon 2017 Wrap-up




The High Summer Readathon was hosted by Seasons of Reading. It ran from July 17th to July 30th, and boy...It flew by!

 I thought I was going to finish more books than I did since it was a two week readathon, but my personal life was too distracting. I really need to have this sign posted every time I read:

So what were my goals for this readathon? 

TO READ

Yup. Plain and simple. After finishing up a two-year program of study filled with textbooks, I was in a reading slump the whole months of May and June. It was so bad that I did not care if I knocked off more than one book. I simply wanted to find my enjoyment for reading again. And guess what? I did! I am so glad that I joined this readathon because it sparked my reading passion again. And no...I was not reading as fast or as much as I used to but hey, I actually read some books!!!

 I read 1 physical book, 1 ebook, and 2 audiobooks:

I also participated the Christmas in July Readathon during the last 48 hours of the HSReadathon (I actually participated the last few hours because I forgot about it. Whoops!).


I ended up reading this novella for this portion of the readathon:

So not bad for getting out of a reading slump, huh? 

How did you guys do?

      Thank you!

      I listened to the audio of The Other Einstein. It can be slow but it's very interesting. I hope to post my review of it by tonight.
