Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 1552 comments 1. How did your Readathon go overall? -- Okay. Lots of fun but went fast and I slept a lot in middle. 2 full books, half of two others, one short story. Was hoping to do a bit better but had fun.

2. Are you continuing to read for the rest of the weekend?
Yes, getting back to reading after updating and should finish at least one more book tonight. Also still going to do the book bath and facial now that the weather has cooled off a bit as its getting later. Also will read tomorrow


3. How many books have you read in this Readathon? How many have you finished? Which was your favorite?

**1. How did your Readathon go overall?**
It went well though I think I didn’t read as many pages as I’d hoped (still need to do my stats). Part of the problem was not having prepared my TBR, so I didn’t have very easy books to read. Also normally I read a couple of books up to about 100-200 pages before the end and then finish them all during the Readathon. I feel like I’m always less prepared for the reverse readathon though as usually I’m away on holiday.

**2. Are you continuing to read for the rest of the weekend?**
Not really. The readathon took place during the whole Saturday. Sunday I’ll be out for most of the day.

**3. How many books have you read in this Readathon? How many have you finished? Which was your favorite?**
Read from 4 books, finished 3.

**4. Do you plan to do other reading events or readathons between now and October 18th (our next Readathon)?**
Yes! I participate in a readathon every month. Different ones than this one though. This month I’m participating in 2 competitive readathons, next month as well, in September I’m doing the Magical Readathon (Orilium)

**5. Have you added any tempting books to your TBR during this Readathon?**
Nope…

As well as could be expected based on me being ill and unable to read much. :( I'm still glad I took part though!


2. Are you continuing to read for the rest of the weekend?

Yes!


3. How many books have you read in this Readathon? How many have you finished? Which was your favorite?

I've read 2. I finished My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante and read 100 pages of See Me Rolling by Lottie Jackson. (I had already started My Brilliant Friend though.)


4. Do you plan to do other reading events or readathons between now and October 18th (our next Readathon)?

I am doing Reset-a-Thon Level 3 at the moment, and I plan to do ShARC Attack in August.


5. Have you added any tempting books to your TBR during this Readathon?

I ended up reading a book that wasn't on my TBR for the readathon. I'm reading See Me Rolling by Lottie Jackson.

Lena (nlgmcr69) | 235 comments 1. How did your Readathon go overall? Overall, it went pretty well. I slept more than I planned to, but I did get over 12 hours of actual reading time in.

2. Are you continuing to read for the rest of the weekend? I read every day so of course I'll be reading

3. How many books have you read in this Readathon? How many have you finished? Which was your favorite? I only finished 1 book, but I started or read part of 5 others. I am really enjoying All the Other Mothers Hate Me but am only half way though.

4. Do you plan to do other reading events or readathons between now and October 18th (our next Readathon)? Probably, it will just depend on what events I find or see online.

5. Have you added any tempting books to your TBR during this Readathon? not yet, but likely will as I read everyones wrap ups, etc.

Not as much reading as I hoped but it was a very good night and day in general so I can't complain.

Always. And I finished all 3 books I had either started before or during the readathon.

I didn't really "shop" around other people's reading so no!
