Read-A-Thon Overview

Well, here is the tally: 1 full book (Dark Taste of Rapture); the end of "Awaken Me Darkly"; two chapters of "The Word and the Void"; and two chapters of the Sookie Stackhouse book #1.

All things considered, I'm not disappointed. I am a single mother of twins and have a full-time job, so there wasn't much time to spend on books regardless. And I took the twins to the zoo on Saturday which sucked up 3.5 hours at the zoo and 3 hours just driving to and from the zoo.

Now I can settle back and take my time with the rest of the books I have stacked around the house awaiting my attention.

And, I can get back to writing. In a couple of days I will share my thoughts of the muse Terpsichore, the Muse of Dance. I may put in some time on my historical romance rewrite or get back to the intimate scene in my paranormal investigator novel. Only time will tell what I feel like digging into.

I do know my physical activity level for awhile will be low. I currently have a severe case of tennis elbow. I must have just been overdoing the lifting at work and at home, so now I am paying the piper. This is a first for me, so if I'm whining a little too much, don't worry, the next time I get it my comments on it will be abbreviated to a byline.

Happy Monday, Readers!

Day 4 of Read-A-Thon

Day 4 of the Read-A-Thon: I gave up on the behemoth. Sorry, Mr. Brooks. I love your Landover series and could polish those off without chewing, but your "The Word and the Void" book takes a lot more chewing than I'm willing to put into a Read-a-Thon.



So, I purchased "Dark Taste of Rapture" on my way home from a seminar yesterday. I'm already on page 195. This is the third day it has been available to the public and I'm loving every word.




I just got the Sookie book from a friend at work. That book will be after my current obsession.




Summary: 1.5 books read




After the Read-A-Thon, I will be posting on the Muse, Terpsichore. She is the muse of Dance.




Happy reading!

Bout of Books Read-A-Thon

Ok, I signed up for this yesterday. As my first goal, I hope to finish "Awaken me Darkly" by Gena Showalter for tomorrow. I'm currently on page 244 of 358. Then I should have the first book of the Sookie series from a friend that I intend to read over the new two to three days. I'll keep everyone posted on if I will finish that one by the end of this Read-A-Thon. Until then, I'm going to watch the last two episodes of True Blood Season 2. Happy Sunday!
