I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

Back to School RaT wrap-up




Back to School
Read-a-Thon
Wrap-Up


Thank you to Melissa at Must Read Faster, this was fun.

My original post

My goal was to read 1,520 pages.

Did I make it? No.

If I had finished Beautiful Sacrifice I would have met my goal, and then some. I took a nap after donating blood instead. This is the third RaT that I've had to same goal and missed. Looks like I really need to put some effort into the next RaT if I want 1,500 pages!

Final Stats: 7 books finished, 1 book started, no reviews. 1,282 pages read. 1 re-read, 1 non-fiction, 3 short stories.

See you next year!

edit: ahem, so I typed this up upstairs. Beautiful Sacrifice was sitting on the desk so I'm sure that's the only reason I remembered I was reading it (sleep muddled?) because we I went downstairs and sat in my favorite reading chair.... Running on Empty by Marshall Ulrich (47 of 244 - without multiple Appendix) and the Double the Pleasure anthology (on page 174).

sigh

1,282 plus 174 plus 47 equals ... 1,503. Much closer to my goal but 325 were from three unfinished books.

Revised Final Stats: 7 books finished, 3 books started, no reviews. 1,503 pages read. 1 re-read, 1 non-fiction, 3 short stories.
