The HUGE TBR Readathon Wrap-up

Thanks to Kristen at Bookworming in the 21st Century for hosting this event. Although it was a busy week for me, I focused more on reading and less on blogging. I spent time at the pool with the kids and did some reading there and in between chores. I did better than I thought.

Here's how I did:

Finished reading:
Countdown by Deborah Wiles

DNF:
Pocket of Guilt by Dora Lee Thompson (stopped at p.128)

Read from start to finish:
Trackers by Patrick Carman
How to Make a Bird by Martine Murray
The Book About Tony Chestnut by Laurie Monopoli

Started:
Julia Gillian (and the Dream of the Dog) by Alison McGhee
I Survived The Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 by Lauren Tarshis
The 39 Clues Book 8: The Emperor's Code by Gordon Korman

I did not tally up my hours as I read in spurts a lot of the time. But I enjoyed taking part in this readathon, and I would be willing to do it again.

The HUGE TBR Readathon

Kristen over at Bookworming in the 21st Century is hosting The HUGE TBR Readathon to tackle the pile of books she has to read. Are you in the same boat? I am joining in to get a full week of reading. I have finished teaching my workshops and I have more free time (or at least I think I do!)

When: Monday June 14th 8 am (whatever time zone you are in) until Sunday, June 20th - midnight!

Where: Bookworming in the 21st Century or on your own blog.

What do I have to do? Read, read read. Kristen is not doing any special activities, but if you're reading this week, join on in. She will have a Mr.Linky up here where you can leave a link to your post if you decide to join.
