Well...I did quite a bit of reading (for me) every day, which was great. I didn't quite reach my goals, but considering all that was going on, I did pretty well, so I'm ok with that.
I'm hoping to finish the Jane Yellowrock series. Ten books and assorted shorts, which I'm reading in the author's recommended order. I'm on book #8 currently. Considering that it has taken me an average of two days per book, it'll be hard to read three books plus the rest of the shorts in just four days. But I'm going to give it my best shot! :-)Progress so far, May 20-23:
May 20 Total:
~8 hrs, 186 pages, Broken Soul by Faith Hunter
May 21 Total:
Read for only about 5 hours. :-( But. . .
Finished Broken Soul by Faith Hunter (143 pages)
and
Started my audio of The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman w/full-cast. (4%)
:-)
May 22 Total:
Read "Not All Is as It Seems" (19 pages; 30 minutes) in Blood in Her Veins: Nineteen Stories from the World of Jane Yellowrock and
Started Dark Heir (166 pages, about 6 hours), both by Faith Hunter.
May 23 Total:
Read about six hours and
Finished Dark Heir by Faith Hunter (197 pages).
Progress Total for W4W Readathon, May 20-23, 2016:
711 pages plus 4% of an audiobook
25.5 hours (roughly)
Books Finished: 2 + a short story:
(one short only)
