August 9th, Sunday, 9:30AM
I have some catching up to do today if I am going to hit the goal of reading mysteries for 12 hours. First some general news updates:
The first book giveaway has been announced – Shannan won The House at Midnight by Lucie Whitehouse.
The second book giveaway is still underway. Readers have until noon PST today to leave me a comment on that post to be eligible to win Theft of the Master (hardcover edition) by Edwin Alexander.
I’ll be posting how readers in the Mystery Read-A-Thon can win the last two books (Malice by Lisa Jackson AND The Secret Scroll by Ronald Cutler) sometime after noon (PST) today.
Okay, here are my current stats for the event:
Number of Hours Spent Reading: 4.0
Number of Pages Read: 190
Number of Books Read: 0
Current Read: Best Intentions by Emily Listfield
I hope to finish Best Intentions this morning and then I’ll choose my next book.
= Excellent
= Good/Very Good
= Okay read
= Not recommended
= Ugh! Don't waste your time.
Congratulations to Shannan!!
I was not able to participate in the read-a-thon at all yesterday. I have set the goal to read for 6 hours today, though, and hopefully finish Three Bags Full.
Enjoy your mystery-reading Sunday, Wendy!
Thanks for running all of this at the last minute, Wendy! I have about five more hours of reading to do but first I need to go grocery shopping …
Congratulations, Shannan!
Thank you so much for hosting giveaways and memes for the readathon, Wendy! It definitely makes it more fun.
Molly: Sorry to hear you were not able to participate the way you wanted to…maybe next time!
Kristen: You’re welcome … it has been fun to do
Heidenkind: You’re welcome – I’m glad it made things more fun!
