Fall into Books Readathon -- Wrap Up

Pages Read: 184 (1491) + 16 (Dark Places)

Pages Read Total: 480

Comments: This readathon was a complete and utter failure. It made me realize that I readathons are not for me right now. Life gets in the way too much. However, I am happy that I finished 1491.

Books Read Total: 1

My goals:

• Read at least 1000 pages -- failed
• Read at least two books -- failed
• Review all books read -- success (although it was only one book...)

My TBR:

• 1491 by Charles Mann  √
• 1493 by Charles Mann
• Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke
• The Fringe Hours by Jessica Turner
• The Maze Runner by James Dashner
• Happier at Home by Gretchen Rubin

• The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron

Fall into Books Readathon - Update #2

Pages Read: 110
Pages Read Total: 280

Comments: Another 100 pages read from 1491. Pretty good considering that it's a dense history book and we had a ton of things to do this weekend. I don't think I'll be reaching my two book and 1000 pages goals, but I'm okay with that.

Fall into Books Readathon - Update #1

Pages Read: 180 (1491)

Pages Read Total: 180

Comments: A slightly slow start to the readathon... I've only managed about half of 1491 by Charles Mann. To be fair, it is a fairly dense (but fascinating) history book. Hoping to finish it this weekend and knock out another fiction book soon.

Fall Into Books Readathon

I'm joining in this month! Can't wait to get my readathon on.

Get your sweaters, cozy blankets, the hot chocolate and pumpkin lattes ready! For the season of autumn I have decided to host my first readathon. This week long readathon will begin on the the Autumn Equinox (first day of Fall) and run Sept 23 through Sept 29.

Rules for the Fall Into Books Readathon: 

• This challenge begins Sept 23 at 12:00 AM and ends Sept 29 at 11:59 PM.

• You may sign up anytime between now and during the readathon.

• Read as little or as many books as you want. I want you to choose your own reading goals. This is a low pressure readathon and meant to be fun.

• You do NOT need to be signed up for the Fall Into Books Reading Challenge to participate.

• You may read any genre for this readathon. I want as many people to participate as possible and I realize not as many will want to do only fall themed books.

• However, if you want to follow the rules of the Fall Into Books Reading Challenge: Ideally books should be fall/autumn themed but this will not be a rule. I found there wasn't very many books with this theme. Here is a list of books that will count for this challenge: include books with words to do with fall, autumn, leaves, going back to school, holidays including Labor Day, Halloween and Thanksgiving, or autumn weather.  Books with things like colored leaves, hot chocolate, harvest, or a fall scene on the cover can count. I will even allow books with the word "fall" in the title. Books for this challenge MUST be specifically Halloween themed NOT general horror. I will be hosting a horror readathon in October.
