I read less on Sunday than on Saturday, but still did pretty well. I didn't listen to any of my audio-book. I did visit 3 new-to-me book blogs. I also helped TRR make a batch of raspberry beer.
I finished the Ngaio Marsh mystery I started Saturday and read about half of Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald. TRR read 145 pages of NOS4A2 on Sunday.
Overall I had a great time doing the readathon and I feel like I met my goals.
Overall I had a great time doing the readathon and I feel like I met my goals.
- I finished Anne of Green Gables and Speaking from Among the Bones, both of which count toward the Canadian Book Challenge 6. This leaves me with 1 more book to read and write about by July 1st to complete this challenge.
- I didn't finish my audio book, but was within 20 minutes of the end on Sunday night and listened to the rest on Monday morning.
- I also finished Lord Edgware Dies and Death in a White Tie.
- On closer examination I decided that the business-y books I had checked out of the library didn't interest me that much and they went back unread.
- I visited 3 (new to me) participant blogs each day, and a few other ones that looked interesting and were linked from the participant blogs I visited. I discovered that there are a lot of very nice book blogs out there talking about whole genres of books I have no interest in (I had no idea there were so many vampire romances being published!) I also found a couple very well-written blogs that seem to have a lot of overlap with my reading interests and which will be added to my blogroll shortly.
- My husband (TRR) did a great job with his goal to finish the book he was reading, Path of Daggers, and read as much as possible of NOS4A2 (500+ pages read).
How are you finding Z? I have a copy of it and can't wait to start it!
ReplyDeleteGlad that you managed to meet your goals :)
I am liking Z. I think I might like it better if I knew less about Zelda F's life. I know what is coming and it makes it all a bit harrowing. It is similar in a lot of ways to Loving Frank.
DeleteI'm glad readathon was successful for you! It's nice that your husband semi-participated too, my boyfriend definitely tends to read more as well when he sees me nose in the book often. :)
