My "Once Upon a Read-a-thon" Day 1 Update!


The "Once Upon a Read-a-thon" has begun!!! 
{See below for my daily updates!}

hosted by Pure Imagination, Reading Angel and
Candace's Book Blog
A big thank you to Lori, Angela and Candace for hosting :) 

The read-a-thon started early this morning and will end on the July 11th at midnight. 

I'm setting my goals up pretty high since there are quite a few books that I have been wanting to finish reading and dying to re-read because it has either been a very long time since I have read them or another book to the series is coming out really soon! And I have a rule -> all books that I keep must be re-read at some point AND when sequels come out, it only makes sense to read the books to refresh myself. (And yes, every time a Harry Potter book was released I would re-read them all! lol) 

The books I hope to read are: 
- Insignia by S.J. Kincaid (currently on page 116)
- Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas (currently on page 84)
- Witches of East End by Melissa de la Cruz (currently on page 136)
- Goddess Test by Aimee Carter 
- Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter 
- A Pug's Tale by Alison Pace 
- 29 by Adena Halpern 

I will be updating this post before going to bed until the read-a-thon is over...  

7/9th
Number of books I've read today: 2 
Books read: A Pug's Tale by Alison Pace and finished reading Insignia!!!
My thoughts so far... 
Lately I have a hard time just sticking with one book, lol! They all sound so good, I want a sneak peek - so I just keep picking up books thinking I'll read a chapter or two... this is obviously not the time to start doing that ;) 
I read A Pug's Tale started very early this morning, paused for a wonderful afternoon with family, finished it at dinner! As soon as kiddos were asleep, I dove right back into Insignia and just finished it! WoW!!!... 
And while I decide whether or not I should jump back into Throne of Glass or start on the Goddess Test, I'm going to take a quick shower, hee hee! 
Hope everyone is getting far and having fun reading too! I hope to catch up on a few blogs in the morning! xo
