I totally forgot that I had signed up for Remarkable Read's Wrapping Up 2011 Read-a-thon... So, I'm a bit late, but I'm hoping to jump in now and use it to motivate myself to actually get some reading done. :)I did read three books today, and I'm totally counting them, even though they are Roald Dahl's versions of picture books (definitely for the older kids).
For the rest of the year, I keep debating between trying to actually meet my 2011 GR Reading goal of 260 (which currently means I'd need to read 19 books by the end of the year) and just reading books that I really want to read, because some of the books that are really catching my eye right now are larger & not so conducive to the whole- read 19 books in 9 days, 4 of which are holidays (I am totally counting my birthday as a holiday...).
So, my list of what I'll end up reading is going to fluctuate drastically and I have no idea, right now, what I'll end up picking. AND, another blogger friend talked about having a read-a-thon on the 30th & 31st, which I'll be participating in (if she does it) so it's going to be like reading BLITZ for me. Maybe I'll actually be able to meet my goal... :) We shall see what happens!
I allllmost signed up for this but with all the Christmassy stuff going on, there is not enough time to read! I'm for a 30-31 readathon though, you guys should totally do that cause I want to join in! :D And happy upcoming birthday (birthdays totally count as holidays).
ReplyDeleteGlad you signed up for the read-a-thon. It is a nice way to wrap up the end of the year. I say go read what you want to read and no worries about the 19 books in 9 days. Sometimes you just have to let yourself enjoy what you were most looking forward to.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! :D And good luck with your reading goals.
ReplyDeleteI'm bad at sticking to lists too, though I did set one for myself with this read-a-thon. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI hope your doing good for the readathon! I'm pretty satisfied with what I'm getting read.
ReplyDeleteI've read 209 books so far to my goal of 150 so I'm ahead of the game for numbers of books read. But I have not read some of the books I really wanted to, like some HUGE ones I've had for years that I WANT to read but just have preferred the nice faster reads. Next year I definitely need to work harder to get to them though.
