Once Upon a Read-A-Thon Completion

So now the Once Upon a Read-a-Thon hosted by Pure Imagination, Reading Angel and Candace's Book Blog is finished. What a great 3 days it was.  Since I work 40 hours a week and have to do things for my family my time was limited.  But I did read as much as I could and I enjoyed following the twitter feed and visiting some blogs (I will do more of that as the week continues).

I didn't manage to post daily updates, but I did update on twitter and I am posting my final update.  My goal was to read 3 boks and I did that by lunchtime on Wednesday and that was 3 books from start to finish.  I continued to read this evening but did not have time to finish another book, but did get quite a bit read on Past Tense by Samantha Hunter (who I will be hosting a guest blog for tomorrow).  It was a book I forgot about when listing my books to read for the read-a-thon.


I'm not sure of the total time spent, but I spent 3 hours at the gym reading and then 3 hours of lunches, plus whatever I could get in in the evening.  It helped that DH was gone last night so I got uninterrupted time then (or as uninterrupted time as you can get with a 5-year-old at home).  Tonight the time was more limited as our older son was home (he spends a lot of the week during the summer staying with my parents) and we of course had to watch a few episodes of Lost.

No matter the time spent - I had a blast reading and finished some really good books.  Here is what I finished, I did deviate slightly from my plan, but that is what I am good at.  I realized I needed some easy-going YA in there and so I pulled out This is Me From Now On and it was perfect.


Books Finished:

• Running from the Devil by Jamie Freveletti
• This is Me From Now On by Barbara Dees
• The Van Alen Legacy by Melissa de la Cruz

 

Books started but not finished:
