DAY 1; Saturday 4th August......We have kick off!!
Books read today; Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry.
Books completed so far; No books completed yet, it is only day 1 :)
Today's Progress; I am reading this on my kindle and at the start of the readathon i was already 70% of the way through. Today i read 20%, and there is around 384 pgs so i read approx 76pgs.
Feelings/updates; Today didn't get off to the best start readathon wise because i was super busy with housework and having fun with my 4yr old daughter whilst my partner had taken our son to a football tournament. I did some tweeting in between but reading wasn't my priority. In the afternoon whilst she laid on the sofa to recoup and watch a film, i did some reading woohoo!! I also managed to read in the evening when the children went to bed and i think i did really good progress wise; i really wanted to finish this book today but it was getting late and i was exhausted- only 10% left.
Aim for tomorrow; to finish this book and to read around 60 pages as a total.
Today's challenge; Absolutely amazing challenge, LOVED IT, still ongoing and can be updated till the 12th- post here.
