This post shall serve as both my weekly wrap up as well as my #read-a-thon wrap up! Following are my final stats;
Books finished: Dead of Night, The Night Eternal, Anya’s Ghost, The Exorcist, You Might Be a Zombie, started Dust and Decay
Running total of pages read: 1992
Total time spent reading: Well, I went to bed around midnight. I wanted to be functional today. I’d say I spent a total of 14 hours read.
I think this was by far my favorite read-a-thon. Mainly, because I didn’t push myself, didn’t get exhausted, etc. So, there really wasn’t a difficult span of time for me. If I got tired, I took a break. Pretty simple.
It also helped that the books I picked weren’t excessively “heavy.” I highly recommend including a graphic novel or two, that certainly helped with me. The different format really broke things up a bit.
I really enjoyed each and every one of the books I read, but my favorite was probably The Night Eternal. I’ve been waiting for this one for so long. It was worth the wait, it lived up to my expectations

Congrats on reading so many pages! I went to bed early too and only read 2 1/2 books but I count that a plus in my first Read-a-thon!

Yay for you! I’m glad you didn’t get stressed out. I think breaks are important, too (as are naps, in my opinion, just generally). I can’t wait to see your review of The Night Eternal!

Wow, you accomplished a lot! I read more books than usual this week, but I didn’t officially participate in the read-a-thon. I read intermittently.
I love Sue Grafton’s books…the last one was U for Undertow, and I’m hoping she’ll give us a V book soon!
Here’s MY SUNDAY SALON POST and

Girl, you totally rocked this one. I’ve got to do a better job of strategically picking my books. Graphic novels are a little hard to get (my library doesn’t have many) but this is the way I’m going to go next time. Those, something from one of my murder mystery series, a YA or two. Have a great restful Sunday!

Way to go! This was my first read-a-thon, and I had a blast! Though it’s kind of a blur to me! I’m glad I took notes on all of my reading, otherwise I’d have no reviews to write! I had a few graphic novels set aside but never got to them!
