WRAP-UP!!
Ok, so here is the link to the goals that i set out to achieve!
My goals
*Try to attend 1 twitter 'party' (I had every intention too, but unfortunately for various reasons i missed all 3 which i was really unhappy about :( )
*To complete 3 books ( Now i have 2 books from my last readathon-1 i am 24% way through and the other i have just started) but i will include the 3 books i planned to read for this readathon. (Sadly i failed on this one but i didn't feel like i had, i feel like i have achieved a lot given the week i had :)
Read;
Two of the books i wished to read in the readathon, these were;
*Speechless by Hannah Harrington
*Confessions of an Angry Girl by Louise Rozett,
( i loved both of them, got through then quickly!!) I also read some more (about 15%) of a book from the previous readathon i did last week)
*Thy Neighbor by Norah Vincent (not enjoying this as much, taking me a long time to read!)
READ PAGE TOTAL= 605!!! wow! just wow!
I have to say that i really enjoyed the readathon (again), this is my favourite readathon because of all the interaction, challenges and link-ups. I was sad to read that the link-up's aren't working for everyone and i hope that these don't stop because of some problems. I am sad that is it over :( but looking forward to the next one.
NOTE TO SAY; I will be replying to all comments within the next few days (kids depending! lol) and also catching up with people's wrap-up posts etc. I have 4 Reviews to get up on here!!! In a review block right now which is getting me down, so i kinda need a break. I need a break from reading too for a few days at least, maybe even a week, i feel sad because of the books i planned to read in August!
Hope everyone enjoyed the readathon :)
Good job on getting some reading and other stuff done!! I know I fell behind in commenting and tried to focus on the reading, and still fell short of my goal. Must make a balance the next time!
ReplyDeleteOoh I want to check out confessions of an angry girl. Great job! I read a lot but I wish I had more access to computers so I could go on twitter more. That's what I need to work in
ReplyDeleteHey girl! Looks like you had a great experience with the read-a-thon!! You read A LOT!!! I managed a little over 200 pages LOL!! Don't worry about hurrying to post follow-up comments. We understand how life gets busy when you have little ones ;). I am also looking forward to the next read-a-thon--and I HOPE that by January I will be in a much better place with balancing work, kids, writing, and reading! :) AND, again, I have NOT forgotten you!!!! :) I miss our little Twitter chats! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou did great Beckie! Given the week you had your page count was impressive. ;) Hope to see you at Bout-of-Books 6.0 in January, but I know we'll be 'talking' between now and then. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou still did well. I'm glad you feel like you achieved a lot. Circumstances are always different depending on what's going on in real life when the read-a-thon comes around. :)
ReplyDeleteSo now what's next?
