It's OVER and I actually completed what I set out to do in the fourth annual Once Upon a Read-a-Thon hosted by Lori at Pure Imagination, Angela & Loretta at Reading Angels and Candace's Book Blog. I did not however enter any of the mini challenges--between mystery shopping, bookkeeping client and commenting on others posts------BUT I really read 7 Books in 3 days!! My next personal challenge to myself is to actually put reviews of these books up on Amazon and Goodreads.
First off I'd like you to know that these were books that I got because I really wanted to read them--except for one of them which I did say I would put a review up on my blog-they came from my TBR list and I can honestly say I enjoyed every one of them whether it was a short novella or a full length novel. AND except for the the book I will be reviewing on my blog--I read them all on my computer--my poor eyes and back!! There are actually 8, but one was so short (Free Fall)I felt guilty--
To Catch a Bad Guy - Mary Astor (I really enjoyed this one!!)
Desperate Measures - Candace Hern (if you like Regency Romance this is short and sweet!)
Free Fall-A Prelude to Hidden Order - Brad Thor (I think I may end up reading the full book on this one)
Rational Polemics - Richard Todd Devens (I will be reviewing this one on my blog)
The Taming of Ryder Cavanaugh (a Cynster Novel)- Stephanie Laurens (I LOVE ALL of the Cynster novels!!)
Kidnapped - Christina Dodd (This was a really good read--short and would be perfect for a read on the beach!)
All for Hope - Olivia Hardin ( A feel good book with a heartwarming ending)
Jane's Melody - Ryan Winfield ( A love story you won't want to miss)

Well done you !! I think what you need is a nice long rest after all that xx I like the sound of All For Hope.
ReplyDeletewow awesome, my grandmother whom is in her 70's can read like 2 books a day. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThere is no way I could do that with 2 toddlers. Probably not anyway. I am not a very fast reader though I love to read. The best I've done is to read a thick book (like Harry Potter or Twilight) in about 3 days.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That is a big accomplishment. I like to read but I never make the time for it and I need to.
ReplyDeleteI love reading and I wish I would have more time to do it. I need about 1 week for a book.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great! thanks so much for sharing! xo xo
ReplyDeleteWoot! Woot!
ReplyDeleteYay for you! I should try completing tasks I start. lol
Woohoo! Well done! I don't think I could get seven books read in three days even though I love to read.
ReplyDeleteI think I would love to read the Kidnapped and All for Hope.
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome and a fast reader....I'm still working on a book from last week!! You go girl...this is why you love to review books. YOu are definitely the queen of book reviews.
ReplyDeleteLove reading and I have a book right now that is preventing me from all duties ;) I can't put it down. Seven books - that's quite the record!
ReplyDeletei use to read a lot of books in the past, but these past days i dont read that much too busy to really read..
ReplyDeleteyou have a nice list though, i will try to read some of them in the future..
Wow! Congratulations! You're a speed reader! I wish I could be! I struggle to read one book in one week! Sometimes one month! lol!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! If my internet would go out I could get a lot more read lol!
ReplyDeleteI need to get back into my reading. It is so soothing
ReplyDeleteWay to go! That sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo well done! I really wish I read more I seem to get sidetracked and forget to pick up a book. x
ReplyDeletewoohoo way to go girl look at what you accomplish very awesome
ReplyDelete7 books in 3 days is quite a feat.
ReplyDelete7 books in 3 days, that is impressive. I am surprised you had time for anything else. I would love to have an entire day uninterrupted to curl up with a good book. Three days- I am jealous.
ReplyDeleteWow! 7 books in 3 days! That is great MikiHope. I need to find time to read more books. I have several books on my Kindle and recently I bought 2 novels by my favourite author Danielle Steel. You have inspired me to start reading this weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow - you have earned the most "avid reader award" in my books!
ReplyDeleteI take a month to read a book LOL. (I hang my head in shame).
Wishing you a lovely day.
xoxo
Wow, good run.
ReplyDeleteI have my book app on my phone so I can take it with me anywhere. I read while waiting at the feed store, bank etc.
I haven't read any of those yet, but I will definitely be looking into them! So far I am loving your blog and getting a heads up on some good reads!
ReplyDeleteWow that is amazing to me. I have a hard time getting all the way through one book without skipping around. I don't have the patience but this is something to really be proud of.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the book challenge! I love reading but 7 books in 3 days? That's an amazing accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteWow that is incredible! Congrats on reading that much in 3 days. I love to read also but I don't have enough time to read that much in 3 days. My son could do it though.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed with the amount of reading that you did. I don't think I could ever read that much in the short amount of time you did! Congrats on making your goal
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a lot of readings right there :)
ReplyDeletewow..that's a lot...you must read very fast. congratulation you did it.
ReplyDeleteI have to check out some of these books. However, there is no way my boys would allow me to read that many books that quick.
ReplyDeleteWOW, just wow!! How did you do it?! I have a hard time reading a book in two days (mostly due to having a 5 and a 3 year old boys). Great job!! I am quite impressed :)
ReplyDeleteWow! That's amazing. I wish I have the time to read even just 1 in a month.:(
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful! I admire you!
ReplyDeleteI love reading! I feel like I am in a read-a-thon all the time :)
