Spring Cleaning Readathon Progress

[Veronique]

It's the morning after for me. Got to read a bit more of Aristotle and Dante last night.

Veronique- How far did you wind up getting overall?

Page 199 Aristotle
1819 in total. Sounds crazy to me. As I said, I never 'timed' myself before. It does depend on the books however. Some can be gobbled up while others required savouring. My reading for 2016, if it carries on at this rate, is going to be the best I have Ever done (usually averaged 55-80 books per year) and it must be because of being on Goodreads, so thanks :0)

Morning After Tally

Finished...
1) Big Magic.
2) Silks.
3) Paying Guests.
4) Brothers in Arms
5) The Viper's Nest
6) The Emperor's Code
7) The Pearl
8) about 25 chapters of Emma

Most were short. All were audio. But I'm quite pleased to be able to say the Readathon helped me catch up to my GR 2016 Reading Goal. I've been trailing since January, so that's a huge improvement.

Nice list! What did you think of Paying Guests? It's on my Everest TBR

[Clare]

I managed 477 pages which is up on my usual 40 pages a day.

[Holly, That Geeky One]

I read:

Bloodline by Claudia Gray (finished)
Annihilation
The Communication Room
Station Eleven

All were great reads and I managed to get the ball rolling with reading again. I fell out of it for a month or so, so it's good to be jumping on the bandwagon again. Not quite on track for the reading challenge, but managed to claw some back!

[Allison, Quest Hound]

Congrats, everyone! Nice work/play!

I ended up reading about 860 pages in all.

The 3rd book I wanted to get to was The Tea Rose. I'm going to knock this one out, too, thanks to the readathon getting me started.

By the way, if anyone wants to jump in on a game of Book Tag, anything you read for the Readathon gets extra points!

Veronique-
I liked Paying Guests quite a lot. Other reviewers said it wasn't up to her usual standard but it's my first time reading Sarah Waters so I wasn't disappointed.

[Jenny, Certified Bookworm]

Good job yall! Interesting books, lots of pages read/hours listened! I managed probably 600 pages total myself. Not bad with sickness, birthday and cleaning all mixed in, not to mention the doggies trying to "help" me read haha

I loved Stieg Larssons writing and i've been put ..."

Clare, I had the same reservations, but I think I found that there were 2 different voices in his 3rd book - as if someone else finished it for him. I found this book to be different in style, but there had been enough of a gap in time, that it didn't bother as much as it did with the 3rd book. I'm glad I read it as I enjoy the characters and their relationship to each other.
