Not that long ago, I declared myself a readathon free zone. Thing is, however, this week is my vacation–a staycation, really, as I’m not going anywhere or doing anything. Mostly, I’ll be hanging out at home, in front of the a/c and trying not to melt into a puddle of liquid Ruby. I plan to work on blog stuff, but I also want to read, read, read. I need to get some major relaxation time in before the new school year begins. So. Here goes nothing!
Time Devoted to Reading
My Goals
- Read seven books
- Make at least a small dent in my BEA stack, but also read some random books entirely for pleasure
- Listen to one audiobook
- Participate in the Twitter chats (view the Official Schedule)
- Update Twitter at least three times per day
- Participate in some challenges (view the Official Schedule)
Books to Read
Skylark by Megan Spooner- Innocent Darkness by Suzanne Lazear
- Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry (actually, this is one I need to finish)
- The Diviners/Gunmetal Magic/other
- Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
Origin by Jessica KhouryNightshifted/other
Updates
Monday
Number of books I’ve read today: Read one and started another
Total number of books I’ve read: one
Books: Skylark and Origin
Tuesday
Number of books I’ve read today: Maybe fifty pages of Origin?
Total number of books I’ve read: one
Books: Origin
Notes: I was majorly distracted today. I painted my nails and watched My Fair Wedding. There was lollygagging. Whoops. I’ll be better on Wednesday. Promise!
Wednesday
Number of books I’ve read today: Finished Origin and started Nightshifted.
Total number of books I’ve read: Two, starting the third
Books: Nightshifted today and if I finish that, I think I’ll begin Throne of Glass.
Notes: Wednesday went much better. I hit my stride with Origin and read it the rest of the way through. After that, I went out and did other stuff, and ended the day with some more reading. I think this may be the formula that works best for me.
Thursday
Number of books I’ve read today: One
Total number of books I’ve read: Three
Books: Finished Nightshifted.
Notes: I wasn’t enchanted with Nightshifted, so the last half of the book was slow-going. I got through it in the end (after a late-night reading session), but now I’m in the mood for an easy read. Not sure anything on my list really qualifies…
Friday

you did well after all it’s your vacacion you can have some time for you apart from reading ^^
Great pace you have going! I’m just starting on my third book today!! Keep up the great work and make sure you enjoy your vacation:)
WOOT! for hitting a stride. I’m hoping to hit mine, but I have inservice tomorrow. That means I need to pick an ebook to sneak some reading time in.
Good luck with your goals! Throne of Glass is really good, I just got my own copy of it. Have a good rest of the week!
I award you ALL the gold stars for the use of “lollygagging”
How was Skylark? I had that galley and I thought I had all this time to read it but it’s expired now. Wasn’t that supposed to be a September or October release? Or am I making things up?
Throne of Glass!!!! Lots of yays!!!!
