A Winter's Respite Read-a-thon - Wrap Up Post


Well, I think this is the first week long readathon that I actually finished!  Didn't do as well as I wanted, but did finish two books - so that is pretty good.

Total read: 6 hours 15 min (Boy, not even an hour a day)
Pages read: 504 pages
Books finished: Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi
First Love by James Patterson

Hard to say which was my favorite book as I loved them both!

A Winter's Respite Read-a-thon (Jan 27 - Feb 2)


A Winter's Respite Read-a-thon starts tomorrow and runs through Feb 2.  I had been waiting to sign up to see how my week was going to look and whether or not I was going to have my glasses.  Well - Both of the places I work at are closed tomorrow due to the weather (and most likely Tuesday as well), I got my new glasses today!!  and my son is having a friend over to play tomorrow for a few hours so this all adds up to EXTRA READING TIME!  

The read-a-thon is hosted by Seasons of Readings and is pretty loose as far as rules.  You can read anytime throughout the week - novels, novellas; adult, young adult, children's books also (as long as you have read some adult books!)  You should sign in at the sign up post and do a wrap up post at the end. There will be a starting line sign in that you must sign in at.  

I hope to finish these books this week:




And possibly start these:




Happy Reading Y'all!

A Winter's Respite Read-a-thon Wrap-up!



Tonight was the last night for the Read-a-thon, and while I didn't participate in any of the mini challenges, I do feel like I got some reading done this week.  I read three books this week:
Come Back to Me by Melissa Foster
Pyxis by K.C. Neal
In Search of the Rose Notes by Emily Arsenault

I made a good dent in Prophecy of the Sisters as well and should be finishing it up by tomorrow night.  I have to review In Search of the Rose Notes yet, but the other two have been reviewed as well.  I am happy with my progress this week!

It's time for another Read-a-thon!  A Winter's Respite Read-a-thon is being hosted by The True Book Addict and is starting tomorrow, Jan 23.  It will run through next Sunday, Jan 29.  Tomorrow is my full day of work so I am posting tonight with the hopes of being able to spend some time reading tomorrow night.  She is going to have some mini-challenges and there will be a giveaway for everyone who signs in at the beginning and does a wrap up at the end - but mostly it will just be a week of laid back reading.  You will already be reading right? So why not sign up!?   Oh - and you don't need a blog to participate - you can sign up through Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, etc.  so go check it out!

I hope to read and/or finish the following books:
