24in48 Results

I only managed to read 4 hours and 45 minutes during the 24in48 readathon. I did get six books read, however, and I enjoyed all but one. I can't wait until the next one.

My 24in48 Start

I just got home so I will be starting the 24in48 readathon now. My first book will be Love Me Forever by Johanna Lindsey. I won't even get close to the 48 hours, but I'll read what I can.

24in48 This Weekend

I have to work this weekend, but I'm still hoping to read 24 hours.  I'm 7-3 both days, so that should leave me plenty of time.  I'm still working on a connections challenge on Goodreads, and I hope to get close to finishing that.  This is my second time starting it, because for some reason when I put books together to read in a row, I lose interest, and want to read something else.  I'm hoping to complete it this time. There have been a few books I've forced myself to finish due to this challenge. At least it got them off my shelves.

Good start so far

I read three books Monday since I was off.

So far, I've read 4 books, and 1123 pages.  I'm about to start Joe's Girl.

Readathon

Today starts A Winter's Respite Readathon, which lasts until the 29th. I probably won't update every day, but I will try to at least every two or three.
My goal is to read at least a book a day, and more on my days off. I'm hoping to finish most of the  connections challenge I am doing on Goodreads. Each book has to link to the previous one, by title, author, or publication date.
I am starting with A Dark and Brooding Gentleman by Margaret McPhee, which linked to Margaret Mayo.
