I participated in the Booktubeathon which took place from Monday, July 24 - Sunday, July 30. Instead of 7 books, which honestly I knew I had very little chance of reading all 7 due to work, I did manage to read 2 full books, and made good progress on a 3rd and 4th. In fact, I finished one of them the day after the Booktueathon finished.
I finished my, what I call the freebee book, which was the audiobook of Born of Shadows by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I also finished a hyped book, which I changed during the readathon from Falling Kingdoms to The Hundredth Queen by Emily R King. These are the only books I finished during the readathon.
I made good progress on Fall of the Dragon Prince by Dan Allen. I'm about half through. Now I just need to find time to finish it. I totally want to. I'm totally hooked. It sounds weird to say, and even I sometimes feel as if I must not actually mean it. But I can't work and read an ebook at the same time. Reading a few minutes - literally maybe 15-30 - each morning only gets so far. And with how good the book is, I don't want to put it down after that little bit. It's torture! So I'm biding my time until I can have more than just those few minutes. I purposely put work to the side for the week at times, using the readathon as an excuse. (Gosh I love my boss.)
The book I finished the day after the readathon completed was the audiobook of Portrait in Death by J D Robb. I had chosen this as my book to be read outside. On the last day, in an attempt to finish one more book, I put that to the side and just tried to finish the book. I was mostly finished, and so even though it was another busy work day on Monday, I managed to get a few hours in which was all it took.
And that was basically my readathon. I'll post the Vlog of my time sometime this week on YouTube. I just need to get a chance to edit the footage and put it all together.
