Well, we're one week in! How's it going? I hope everyone is getting lots of reading done and enjoying the new longer format. I know I am because I know I have another week to dig in and reach my goals. Universe abiding!

So far I've managed to finish up two books (Motherhood is Murder by Diana Orgain & Life, the Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams), a folktale/story collection (The Grandfathers Speak by Hitakonanu'laxk), a poem collection (Then Come Back: The Lost Neruda Poems by Pablo Neruda) and So Long and Thanks for All the Fish by Douglas Adams.
ReplyDeleteSo far, I've finished one book. Now I have two more to go.
ReplyDeleteHere is my update link: http://floodbooks.blogspot.com/2017/01/a-winters-respite-readathon-check-in.html Two books down so far! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteSo far I've only finished on book - Love Does. Hopefully will finish P&P and In the Bag next week.
ReplyDeleteI am not doing as well as I was hoping. :(
ReplyDeleteI finished an audiobook and I started reading an ebook, a physical book, and another audio. I was doing well, but I stopped reading on Friday. Things got a little busy for me this past weekend. Now, the semester has begun and I have no idea how my reading game is going to be. I think I need to change my reading goals. :/
I have done better than expected and I am sure I am going to read more than my goal. I started the week having to read 2 books if I wanted to read them before returning them to the library. And finished the week by taking part in the 24 in 48 Challenge where I read for 25 hours.

I read the second half of Hidden Figures and then about the first half of No Man's Land by Simon Tolkien, which I'm really enjoying. I didn't do any reading at all over the weekend, though, so now I'm getting back to it tonight.

HapPy reading week 2 everyone ...
I'm not doing so well as I hoped since I just started my new job and it's requiring a lot of my time away from home. Hopefully, the next few days, I will catch up on my reading and finish my book Wicked Intentions by the last day of this readathon! Here's my updates so far:
