Spring's Serenity Read-a-thon, wrap-up

Spring's Serenity Read-a-thon ran from April 25th through May 1st.
Hosted by:

I tried my best this past week with reading.  But some times life gets cranky.  For the most part I did pretty well until the weekend.  I had planned on reading more over the weekend as my son had 7 boys over for his birthday party sleepover.  What was I thinking!?!  They had me up late with being 8 rambunctious 12 year old boys.  And I wasn't able to get much reading in.  Then Sunday was grandparents birthday day.  And a few stayed later than I had anticipated.  Not a bad thing, just didn't figure they would stay so long.

But, on to what I got through...
I read and completed A Moth in Darkness by Frances Pauli - 212 pages
I finished Iron King by Julie Kagawa - 80 pages left
I started The Sweet Scent of Blood by Suzanne McLeod - 116 pages into

Yeah, not much in page numbers right.  But, I was happy to have gotten completely through A Moth in Darkness so quickly.  And I had only planned on finishing Iron King and reading A Moth in Darkness, knowing all that was going on this weekend.  So I guess in the end I did better than I was realistically hoping. (on the far end of my hopes I was hoping to get at least half way with The Sweet Scent of Blood.)

Spring's Serenity Read-A-Thon

I signed up for a Read-A-Thon that's happening this week. 
It runs from April 25, 2011 through May 1, 2011.
The Read-A-Thon is hosted by:

If you would like to join up you can do so at any time, and you only read what you can.  No requirements, just a week dedicated to reading. :)

I'm not sure how much I will get done this week as I do work full time and have to work all week.  But, I'm hoping (key word... hoping) that I might be able to have a reading weekend at least.  I know we will be celebrating my son's birthday and he will be having friends over.  But with doing this I'm hoping they will all be occupied with each other and playing games now that they are getting older, he will be twelve.  So while they are playing the playstation and such, I'm hoping to get lost in a book.  We shall see...

But I hope to finish The Iron King this week and start A Moth in Darkness.  Maybe even get through A Moth in Darkness, if all works out well for me. ;)
