Spring into Horror Wrap up

This read-a-thon was really slow at the beginning as I was in a reading slump, but thanks to Dewey's Read-a-thon I was taken out of that slump and I ended up reading quite a few pages.


In 7 days I read 449 pages which is about 64 pages per day.

Book Finished:
Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson.










Books Started:
I'm around 170 pages into 44 Cranberry Point by Debbie Macomber and enjoying the books.

I read 77 pages of Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi for this read-a-thon. Unfortunately I didn't really enjoy the book and ended up giving it up on page 102.

April Read-A-Thons and Event Sign Up Post

Spring into Horror Read-A-Thon hosted by Seasons of Reading. Despite the name you are allowed to read whatever you want. This read-a-thon will overlap with the other two read-a-thons I plan to do this month so expect similar posts. Despite the name you do not have to read horror books. I won't be. Seasons of reading promotes reading any book you want. 

Busy on the weekends that is okay Rebecca @ Love at First Book and Alison @ The Book Wheel are hosting a weekday read-a-thon for your reading pleasure. This event will take place on April 24th, 2013. I will be a person that only pops in at night and maybe in the early morning since I do have school that day, but  I think this is a great idea and would love if they would continue to do them every couple of months. 
I will also be also be participating in the famous Dewey's 24 Hour Read-A-Thon. This read-a-thon will take place on Saturday April 27th, 2013. I'm not going to a crazy reader and start right up at midnight, but will start as soon as I get up in the morning and read until late at night of course taking breaks in the middle. 

All books on My April TBR list will be eligible to be in these read-a-thons. 

Really wish I found this event sooner, but I'm glad I found it anyways. Thank you to Sandra @ The Musings of a Book Addict for hosting this challenge. The point is to list all the books you plan to read up until June and make some dent in the list and having a wrap up post at the end. Although I don't overly plan what I'm going to read I have a bit more since I started this blog. Below I will list a few books that I know I will read before June. Then my wrap up post will contain all I actually accomplished. This event actually started on March 20th so get your sign up posts up and begin. 

1. Cinder by Marissa Meyer
2. Scarlet by Marissa Meyer
3. Splintered by A.G. Howard
4. Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson
5. Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
6. Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick
7. Warm Bodies by Issac Marion
8. Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah
9. The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult
