Total pages read this week: 234
Total books for the year: 13 of 90.  If it weren’t for listening to Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, I wouldn’t have read much of anything this week.  The Boyfriend and I finished packing up the apartment and completed the 1st half of our road trip to California.  We’re currently visiting his Mom and her Husband in Arizona.  I’m not 100% sure what day we’re leaving, but I’m catching up on sleep, eating food that didn’t come from a drive-through, and generally relaxing.  I also got to hang out with my BFF on Sunday and I already miss her!

Total books for the year: 13 of 90.  Reading time has been nearly non-existent for most of this week.  While I managed to finish one book towards the beginning of the week, I haven’t picked up a book to read instead of pack since Friday.  The Boyfriend and I leave for San Francisco later this week, so I’m hoping to get some quiet reading time once the apartment is finally empty of all our stuff.

Total books for the year: 10 of 90.  This weekend was the 24 in 48 readathon.  I did fairly well and read for a little more than 12 hours and finished 3 books.  I can’t believe I’ve already finished 10 books this month, especially since there are still a few days until February.  I might even finish an eleventh book, but I’m not in any rush.

#24in48 Readathon: Does it Have to Be Over?!

The 24 in 48 readathon is over, and while I didn’t read for 24 hours, I still see it as a success.  Below is my final update.

#24in48 Readathon – 24 Down, 24 to Go!

Normally, I would have done my first update at hour 12 of the 24 in 48 readathon (11 am central time for me), but as I mentioned last night, I was clearing out my storage unit before I move to California.

However, I lucked out a bit by being in the moving van all by myself on the ride to and from the storage unit, which meant I got to listen to an audiobook.  On top of that, everything was done and the moving van returned by lunchtime.  So, I was back home and on the couch with a book by around 2 pm.

Current Reads:

  • Linger by Maggie Stiefvater
  • Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans
  • Ruined By Reading by Lynne Sharon Schwartz

  
Finished:

  • The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett


Pages Read: 453
