With Easter, we had family coming over for dinner. I did get in a bit of reading in the morning and another bit before bed. The driving down to get the boys took it out of me. I wanted to read more before bed, but figured posting this and getting to sleep would be the better choice. So, I'm officially ending my Readathon with this post. Here's what I got accomplished today:
- Finished and reviewed Death's Excellent Vacation
- Started Love Finds You in Pendleton, Oregon
- Time Read Today: 2 hours 45 minutes
- Pages Read Today: 306
- Total time read: 10 hours 10 minutes
- Total pages read: 1241
Overall, I'm very happy with my readathon progress this weekend. Having twin boys, family obligations, and a sorta social life, I don't usually have time to read for hours upon hours during the day. But I did get in some quality uninterrupted reading time throughout the weekend. I only watched one movie and a few Doctor Who episodes. So I cut down on my TV and movie watching and increased my reading. Good progress. I didn't get around to reading any science fiction, but hopefully I can add that in soon. I really tried to hit some of the library books that are almost due. I knocked quite a few off my piles. Now to enforce my "no more library books until I read the ones sitting on my floor" rule. Wish me luck with that! I really enjoyed taking the time to focus on my reading. I think I should do a readathon at least once a season. I think I'll shoot for July next.
My goals this weekend:
Finish Hungry for Your Love (that stubborn book!)- Read at least 4 other books -- Read 3 others and started a 4th
- Include some science fiction in my reading -- Didn't get to it, but next on my list
Write reviews for all books readBlog about my progress once a day
