48 Hour TBR Read-a-Thon: Saturday

It is time for an update. I have got to say, I don’t know WHAT I was thinking. EIGHT books? :shock: I blame my kids! LMAO Anyway, I’ve decided to make my goal a little more realistic. Instead of the EIGHT books I had listed, I’ll plan to read the first four, namely:

  1. Manifest
  2. Blind Hope
  3. Good-bye to All That
  4. Katy’s Debate

I will also hope to read – or at least begin – the next two on my list:

  1. Final Touch
  2. The Julian Game

That will make me happy. ;-) That said, I’ve already finished two, and that’s why it’s time for an update. Progress:

  • Read Manifest last night. (248 pages)
  • Read Blind Hope today. (208 pages)
  • Total pages so far: 456

What’s next?

  • Shower, then lunch and maybe some housework
  • Read Good-bye to All That

This is the only post related to the read-a-thon for today. So, when I take a break to update, I’ll do so right here! :-)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~UPDATE~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

And now for my update. I don’t really have much to say. If you’re wondering why, read my latest post. I spent most of the day after my shower catching up on my TV shows. I know, pathetic, but I just needed to veg. My husband took the kids away this weekend so I could relax, rejuvenate, and get some things done. Reading wasn’t really one of those things. I have started Good-bye to All That, but not gotten very far at all. I’ll get it done tomorrow, then it’s time to work on the house, something I’ve been really wanting to do (without half-pints under foot) for a while.

    Yes, and believe me, we all listed more books that we will read. I've only read one and a half (and the one I read was only 97 pages! ha!)

      LOL Maybe I should've picked shorter books like that! ;-)
