Update #3

I'm reading the shortest book I've chosen so far and it seems it's the hardest for me to get through. This book got pretty good reviews on bn.com but I'm just not getting into it at all. I'm wondering if I should finish it since I'm 1/4 of the way in already.

Update #2....

Wow, I don't think I've ever read to books in a matter of 8 - 10 hours before. I did lose some stream earlier in the late morning, early afternoon and took a 2 hour nap. Once I woke up, I went full speed ahead though. I think I finished my second book in about 5 hours give or take. I'm going to try something on the lighter side for my third book.


Statistics:
Book Read: Rippler by Cidney Swanson
Format Read: Nook
# of Pages: 434
Length of time: approximately 5 hours.


Next book to read:
The Name of This Book is a Secret by Pseudonym Bosch

Update #1

This is my first update of the morning. I'm not sure how many books I will be able to complete within the 24 hours but I'm trying for at least one more, maybe two. I'm juggling a busy day today and trying to multi-task. I must thank my husband for coffee and breakfast this morning. He was supposed to take my 5-year old camping but he wasn't sure the weatherman was right about a nice weekend, so he promised to keep him super busy so that I can read.

So for my first update here are the statistics.

Book Read: Graveminder by Melissa Marr
Book Format: Nook
# of Pages: 288
Length of time: 4 hours

Next on the list is Rippler by Cidney Swanson

Ready, Set, GO....

I am up and ready to go. My first book will be Graveminder by Melissa Marr. I've been wanting to read this for quite a while now. I remember it getting pretty good reviews. Updates to come later...

READ-A-THON....

So, I signed up for Dewey's Read-a-thon again this year. I think I may be half crazy. I haven't had a good night's sleep in over a month and I purposely decide to try to stay up for 24 hours reading...ha ha. At any rate, it's for the greater good :-). I'm not going to post which books I have decided to try to read this year. Well, because I haven't really decided. I'm a bit slow on the uptake this year...LOL. But I'm going to try to improve from last year and again have fun doing it :-)

Read-a-thon Update

6:52 pm PST: I'm not even sure what hour it is of the read-a-thon. Considering I started late and not even realizing it started 8EST which is 5 my time. I began at 11 am my time and I just got done with my first book. Quite a bit of distractions, but I will need to take a break to do some school work and then on to my next book.

7:38 pm PST: Getting ready to start my next book - The Red Church by Scott Nicholson 

10:25 pm PST: Not very far into my second book. Have fallen asleep, not feeling well, but I think I got my second wind so I will press on through 

12:00 am PST: I'm still going on. Sleep is calling me but I'm going to try to keep going a little longer. Still haven't put much of a dent in this book. I think because I'm tired and not feeling well.

1:00 am PST: I fell asleep. I guess this means I should go on to bed. 

Here's how I did:
# of hours read: 13.5
# of books read: 2
# of pages read: 521
Books read: Undead & Unfinished; The Red Church


This was a great experience. Hopefully next time I will more prepared. Thanks to all the cheerleaders for cheering me on

24 Hour Read-A-Thon

I've never done a read-a-thon but I've stayed up for over 24 hours before. So what did I do, I signed up for Dewey's 24-hour Read-a-thon but now of course, I'm like YIKES. I am just going to try my best to read as long as I can and as much as I can and try to enjoy myself while reading. 

I have a list of books I'm thinking about and hoping some of you can help me choose a couple to start with. Here goes.
