#Boutofbooks Read-A-Thon: Starting Line

I am participating in another Read-A-Thon! It's not too late to sign up if you haven't! Hop on over to On a Book Bender!

I'm bad about not reaching goals but this time I will if it kills me!

I want to finish my current read: The Witches of Eastwick, and read two more books. Probably The First Days and The Forest of Hands and Teeth but that may change.

I'll be updating on goodreads/twitter so I doubt I will be updating here.

I hope everyone participating meets their goals! There are always awesome giveaways and challenges to keep an eye out for those as well!

Happy Reading!

Wonderfully Wicked Read-A-Thon Wrap Up

I always set goals beyond what I can accomplish. I used to say I was aiming high, but now I realize I'm just setting myself up, lol.

I finished Special Topics in Calamity Physics though! I made some progress in The Witches of Eastwick too!

I read a total of 184 pages during this read-a-thon, which is good for me. I was filling jewelry orders and running a lot of errands this weekend so I was just please to finish the first book!

Moving straight into the next read-a-thon!

Wonderfully Wicked Read-a-Thon

So I signed up a while back to participate in the Wonderfully Wicked Read-A-Thon hosted by Bex @ Kindle Fever and April @ My Shelf Confessions.

Starting Line:

Pg 377 of Special Topics in Calamity Physics

Pg 87 of The Witches of Eastwick

I hope everyone has a great reading weekend! Don't forget to check out my Saturday Morning Cup feature!

Read-a-thon #FAIL

So I participated in the Frightful Fall read-a-thon at Castle Macabre. Well, participated may be a strong word. I finished one book and barely started another. This week was waaayyy busier than I expected it to be and the few days I expected to read tons, I didn't even get a chance to pick up a book!

Oh well, there is no read-a-thon this week so I'll probably end up devouring books! I know I'll be locked in my apartment tonight because Book Club is tomorrow night and I haven't finished yet. Eek!

To go along with the scary theme, there is one requirement. You must read at least ONE scary book during the read-a-thon. If you are not a horror fan, then make it a thriller or a mystery, as long as the book has some kind of spooky premise to it. Those of us who fulfill this requirement, and sign in at the starting line, will automatically be entered in the participant giveaway. :)

The hashtag for Twitter will be #frightfall

Bout of Books Wrap-Up

So I had a very small goal for this read-a-thon. Afterall, I knew it would be a busy work week, plus a design show with my part-time business on Saturday.

Goals: 3 (and a half) books.

Finish Gotta Have It

The Poisonwood Bible

Obsessed (barely started)

Handle with Care

So basically just one and a half. Oh well, hopefully the next chance I have to participate in a read-a-thon I won't be so busy!

The Poisonwood Bible was amazing though! Keep an eye out for the review soon :)

Big Thanks to Amanda for hosting this read-a-thon and organizing all of the awesome people who hosted giveaways!

Read-A-thon!

I signed up with Amanda @ On a Book Bender for her Bout of Books Read-a-thon! It's going on all week! I am excited, but I've never done a read-a-thon before. I've got a busy week but I'm hoping I can squeeze in AT LEAST an hour a day, and a few days I know I'll have closer to two, and one day maybe three. 

I'll be tracking my progress on goodreads, and twitter. 

My Books:

Finish: 

Gotta Have It

Read: 

The Poisonwood Bible

Obsessed

Handle with Care

I know I only have a week, and a busy one at that, so I will settle for just getting started on Handle with Care, but I am shooting high!

Are you participating? What are you reading?
