Wicked Wildfire Read-a-Thon 2014 (#WWReadathon)

Hosted by My Shelf Confessions

The Wicked Wildfire Read-A-Thon is a time when we all get together to dedicate the days of July 14-24 to as much reading as possible. You read as much as you can in order to get yourself a little further through that huge to-read pile! We know real life gets in the way and even if you can’t participate more than one day, you’re welcome to join in on the fun!

Wrap-Up

Had en enjoyable week and a half of reading. Sadly, I missed the Twitter parties and was a little out of it for a few days. Finished two books cover-to-cover, read a long but very enjoyable short story, and made some progress on Great Expectations. Thanks to April & Kat for a fun, laid-back summer reading adventure!

Goals, Reading List, You Know the Drill

Low pressure, I-need-to-get-work-done, but I still want to read with you all too! Here’s some of what I’ll be reading:

• Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
• Vaclav & Lena by Haley Tanner
• “Every Mystery Unexplained” by Lisa Mason, a hefty “short” story for Deal Me In
• For #COYER – Spirit Slate Writing and Kindred Phenomena by William E. Robinson
• Also for #COYER, a few other short stories.

I’m really bad at sticking to lists. Even short ones.

Progress

Challenges & Notes

Thursday:

• Sad that Wicked Wildfire is over already. 😦
• Happy that I finished a second book! 🙂

Wednesday:

• Did the Tunes This Title challenge! What *does* go with Spirit Slate Writing and Kindred Phenomena?
• DNFed a novel after 14 pages. Too much exposition and know enough knowledge about a subject.

Monday & Tuesday:

• House-sitting & keeping an eye on our nieces. I realized I know very few of my passwords by memory. (WordPress is actually one that I do know!) Not getting much reading done, but that’s mostly due to an arthritis flare-up happening too.

Sunday:

• Read a bit of Great Expectations.

Saturday:

• Took me all day, but read my Deal Me In “short” story.
