Bout of Books Read-a-Thon (Goals & Updates)
It has been entirely too long since I participated in a read-a-thon. I was so excited when I saw someone tweeting about the upcoming Bout of Books readathon, and that I didn't miss it.
I think y'all still have time to sign up for Bout of Books 5.0.
To keep things neat, I'm just going to do all my updating on this post or on Twitter (@HauntedOrchid).
My Goal:
I hope to read at least two books. If I'm lucky, I'll find time to read three, but I am so not holding my breath over that.
My List (so far):
Dragon's Tooth by N.D. Wilson *starting today*
Changling by Philippa Gregory (audiobook) *listening to now*
Day One:
Pages read: 440
Number of books: 1 1/2
What I read: Death by Bikini and (1/2) Castle in the Air
Day Two:
Pages read: 100
Number of books: 0
What I Read: Read another 100 pages of Castle in the Air
Day Three:
Pages read: 87
Number of books: the last 87 pages of yesterday's read
What I read: Castle in the Air
Day Four:
Pages read: Actually, I listen to the last twelve tracks of Purity and the first four of another.
