(Did you do it?)
Now - thoughts. So, of course, loved this readathon. I definitely spent more time on social media commenting and such this time around, which I'm 100% okay with because it's something I want to get better at (I'm bad at commenting - blogs, social media, YT - mostly just because of crippling social anxiety).
It was a ton of fun. I love seeing people talking about what they're reading, which is one of the reasons I think I love readathons so much? Because just everyone in the hashtag - and a lot of people I follow - are just constantly taking about what they're reading (or what they're snacking on, which is just as fun. And more delicious).
I did get a lot read this time around - caught up to where I needed to be to hit 100 books this year and everything - but I also feel like I could of read more. However, I'm was still and still am recovering from a cold. And, honestly, haven't been reading a whole lot period. I'm hoping to continue to ride the readathon wave to keep me reading until Bout of Books.
I DNF'd a book this time, which is something I almost never do outside of a readathon - and I might go back and try to finish it in a few days, it was the last thing I tried to read and I don't know if it was just my brain hitting it's too many words point or what. Either way, at the moment, I'm glad I did because I was getting ready to hit myself with the book instead of reading it.
So - onto what I did read (I have some general thoughts on all in my update post, or goodreads, but I'm not going to talk about thoughts on the specific books here).
Books:
- The God Engines by John Scalzi
- Binti: Home by Nnedi Okorafor
- Injection, Volume 1 by Warren Ellis
- Injection, Volume 2 by Warren Ellis
- Lumberjanes, Volume 6: Sink or Swim by Noelle Stevenson, Shannon Watters
- Giant Days, Volume 4 by John Allison
- Second Kiss by Chelsea M Cameron
- One Hot December (Men at Work #3) by Tiffany Reisz
- Forest of Memory by Mary Robinette Kowal
- The Girl in the Park by Mariah Fredericks (DNF)
Books Finished: 9
Page Count: 1,200
Time Read: 8 hours, 12 minutes
Time Read: 8 hours, 12 minutes
Overall, considering how long I was awake, 8 hours seems like a ridiculously small amount of time to have spent reading on readathon day. I guess I've got to cut myself some slack, though I did read 1,200 pages and 9 things. And, also, taking into account I haven't exactly been reading too much physically. At all.
Anyway - enough of me rambling on. I love this readathon a whole lot, thanks for the co-hosts and also the people who jumped in to host for a few hours on twitter - it was a ton of fun, as always, and I hope you all had as much fun as I did.
Please link me to your wrap ups (or update posts) whether they be blogs, videos, whatever. And happy reading!
I had to DNF a book too. I realized I was just hate-reading, but in a grumpy way, not a fun snarky way. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe worst, especially because snark hate reading books can be fun.
