Wicked Valentine’s Read-A-Thon – Goals, Challenges & Updates #WWReadathon



From the WWReadathon page:

The Wicked Valentine’s Read-A-Thon is a time when we all get together to dedicate the days of February 7-14 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!



In the meanwhile, we will be hosting book-related challenges where you can win some awesome prizes and have a Twitter party at the hashtag #WWReadathon! You can posts updates on your blog, Twitter, Goodreads or Facebook — as long as the profile is public and we all can enjoy your reading progress! Sign Up Here!


GOALS 

  • Participate in all of the challenges
  • Participate in at least one of the Twitter chats
  • Visit and comment on other readers posts (meet other bloggers and make new friends:)Add me on twitter: @myeclecticbooks
  • Read, Read, Read:
    • Beautiful Lies - Jessica Warman
    • Destiny Rewritten - Katherine FitzMaurice
    • Unfurl - Cidney Swanson

My Dress-so gorgeous and so floaty...I can almost believe that I could dance in a dress like this!:


My Date-Wes from Falling for her Fiance-I am a sucker for the best friend who can always be counted on and who ends up being so much more:



Our Transportation-What better manner of travel then soaring upon the back of Pegasus?:

No progress made...I haven't been getting home from work until after 10pm...so no reading time, no challenge participation and I missed the twitter chat :(

Thursday, February 14th 2013

Read nothing today as it was Valentine's and since I've been working so many extra hours this past two months I wanted to spend some time with the hubby!  

Big fail this read-athon...as I didn't even finish one book...oh well :(

  3. I appreciate the post on readathon, I signed up as well and it's my first time participating. I am listening to the audiobook of To Kill A Mockingbird right now. It's narrated by Sissy Spacek and I love it. Good narrator makes all the difference. Hope you can make the next twitter chat. I won a prize at tonite's...yippee!

    Good luck with your goals.
