It wasn't a chore to complete; I didn't do very good about remembering to track my start time with a book (or to post/total all of them here until today to catchup). Next time, I think I'll do better to track manually on paper then post here on goodreads later.

Not my first RAT, not really different, and I didn't plan books in advance beyond knowing I was doing Bookshelf BINGO so would be using those books to serve double duty. Would do another; challenges like the Readathon and BINGO get me to read those books/authors been planning on for a long time and to clean up the TBR slightly.

Dan Simmons and Katharine Kerr were both new authors for me. I read alone, all ebooks on nook or via overdrive library loan.

I Did a rat before for a week with the stand and read a good chunk of it
