22 on 22 Read-a-thon
This will be my update post throughout the Read-a-thon so check back here throughout the week to see how I’m doing!
If you read my Sunday Post then you know how crazy this week will be but I will be trying to get a good amount of reading in as there are a ton of books I have that I’d love to read! I won’t set a specific goal though I plan to read a minimum of 10 books and based on their page numbers (of the first ten I plan to read) that only averages out to 452 pages/day, easy! Oh and if you want to interact on twitter use the hashtag #22readathon!
*Took time off on Monday night from 5:45 PM – 10:00 PM CST to have some family time
Here are the first ten I have in mind:
As usual I will be doing the following updates for this read-a-thon:
Book I am currently reading: Wheels by Lorijo Metz
Books I have completed: Burn For Burn by Jenny Han, Owlet by Emma Michaels
Pages Read: 441
Time spent reading: 5 hrs 35 minutes
Mini Challenges Completed: Reading Habits
Snacks Eaten: Chips & Salsa, Orange Juice (1 cup), Mixed Berry Nutri Grain Bar (1), Dr. Pepper (3 cans), Pretzels

Reading Habits
Challenge: Answering general questions about your reading habits.
1. What book did you start reading for this read-a-thon? A: Burn For Burn though I was ~40 pages in
2. What is one of your favorite books to re-read? A: The Lord of the Rings books of course!
3. Do you have a strategy for read-a-thons to maximize your time? A: Not really, I just try to read as much as I can and update hourly if at all possible so I have a general idea of where I’m at.
4. Do you snack while reading? A: As you can see from the list of snacks above I certainly do! I am very careful not to allow any of those snacks to leave residue on the books I read though.
Oh wow you are trying to read a lot of pages per day! Good luck with reading all of those great sounding books. I really can’t wait to see what you think of Hold me Closer Necromancer because I have been trying to decide if I should buy the book or not.
Thanks for joining us to celebrate Bianca’s Birthday. Happy reading!

Haha, well I have nothing else to do besides blog at present so that and reading will make up the week. I won the Necromancer books and they arrived yesterday. I would buy them if for no other reason then the covers are BEAUTIFUL. I’m excited to read them too. Happy reading to you as well! ^.^
