Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

Once again, I hope everyone had an ahmazing reading week! All participants of either readathon post here your summaries in this topic.

Just give us a brief summary of how your reading went for the day/week. Here's an optional format to post your summary in:

~Books you Read From
~Books You Finished
~Total Reading Time (optional)
~Total Pages/Percent Read (optional) {For audiobooks, this could be the total chapters listened to.}

You can do basically the same setup for Audiobooks if you listened to some of those.


Please only post one time and update your posts. Thanks! (If you want to have a post with your Day-long summary and then another with your Week-long summary, that's fine.)

2.) (3/17-192 pages)

I finished the book I had started before the readathon began.

Rich Brother, Rich Sister Robert Kiyosaki and Emi Kiyosaki 356

I also started another book. I will report tomorrow.

Today (Sunday, March 18, 2012) I didn't read as much as I had hoped. I did however read 112 pages from my current read, The Help. I am really enjoying this book.

Stats so far:

Books completed: 1 (last 235 pages)
Books in progress: 1 (112 pages so far)
Total pages read toward weekly goal: 347
Pages needed to reach goal: 653

I'm sure there's probably some truth to the adage that "The road to hell is paved with good intentions," but I got waylaid by an illness which kept me from doing a lot. It has been a very rainy weekend here in Southern California, so I had a great excuse to read. Here are my final stats:

Books partially or completely read: 3

Rich Brother, Rich Sister (mentioned above)
The Help by Kathryn Stockett
The Brass Verdict by Michael Connelly

with page counts for each for each respectively, as follows: last 235, 451, first 250

Total books: 3 Total pages: 936 (better than last time, but short of my goal by 64 pages)

My only disappointment is that I only finished one complete book.

Shauna-- Remember that you can only have one post in this topic, unless you're going to make one post for the day-long and one for the week-long.

March Read-a-thon

Total Pages Read:1,600
Total Audio book minutes listened:1,804

1. Surrender by Pamela Clare: 368 pages - 3/18/12
2. Archangel's Kiss by Nalini Singh: 586 minutes n- 3/19/12
3. One Reckless Summer by Toni Blake: 370 pages - 3/19/12

7. Glory in Death by J.D. Robb: 589 minutes - 3/23/12
8. Hallowed by Cynthia Hand: 403 pages - 3/23/12

For the day, one book 455 pages (paperback)
for the week 5 books 1679 though One of those was a re-read.. so feel free to knock off 296 pages if you like... by the way, if you say that your books AVERAGE 250 pages per book (which may be low, but one likes to be conservative in such things) Then you need to read 4,000 books to read a million pages... okay just doing some math...

For the one day read-a-thon I read from page 63 to 212 in finishing one book :)

Once again, so close to my goal but not at the finish line yet! Always next month :)...posting with books read is #10.

Great reading, everyone!!!
