It was nothing at all like I thought it would be going into it. The storyline, the characters and the writing itself were all beyond my expectations.

I got mostly caught up on my goal and I'm really proud of the progress I made this week. I think everyone did fantastic and I can't wait for the next read-a-thon so we can do it all again!

I had one day with a wicked sinus headache and I couldn't bare to read anything at all. The day after I was recovering but it was a slow day still. I had hoped to reach 1000 pages but I fell about 101 pages short. Ah well, maybe next time. Speaking of which, do you know when we might have another read-a-thon?
Probably not for a few more months, Amy. Summer time. Maybe July? That's the best info I can give you now.
The last two days of the read-a-thon weren't really productive for me, because of work, the finale of Top Chef France and a work dinner (no, I'm not looking for excuses ;) )I read 43 pages in two days, which amount to a total of 715 pages for the read-a-thon. I thought I would read more, but that's ok, I finished two books (The Husband's Secret & The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and started a great one (A Criminal Magic), so I'm happy.

Yesterday was an alright reading day. I was more so keeping an eye on one of our dogs who got really sick. Luckily, she took naps so I was able to read here and there. I was able to knock another 164 pages out!
Overall I feel like I was quite successful in this read-a-thon! I definitely reached my page goal and was able to knock quite a few books off of my TBR!
