And I can't almost believe I'm wrapping up another read-a-thon. I started doing them through a blogger friend and now I love to do them! The signing up, the figuring out what books I'd like to read, getting to read those books, updating my progress, entering the challenges, getting to know some new blogs and what they did for the challenges... it's so much fun to get a week dedicated to reading.
I like to set reachable goals, and so, I believe I've accomplished my goals for this read-a-thon:
- I read everyday, and I *think* I did so for at least a couple of hours
- I entered almost all of the challenges
- I updated everyday, even on the day I didn't enter that day's challenges
- I socialized - I visited some blogs and commented on them, and I entered the first Twitter chat - what an overwhelming endeavour, lol, but I'd like to check out another Twitter chat in the next read-a-thon
- I read 3 fiction books from my first pile, and 3 comic books from my second pile
And statistically:
- I read 1648 pages (an average of 235 pages per day, higher than my daily average page count this year, up until the end of April, which is 151 pages)
- I read 3 fiction books - Starters (Destinos Interrompidos), Lissa Price; Second Grave on the Left (Segunda Campa à Esquerda), Darynda Jones; Time Between Us (O Tempo Entre Nós), Tamara Ireland Stone - and curiously, all were the Portuguese editions
- I read 3 comic books - Simon's Cat (O Gato do Simon), Simon Tofield; Simon's Cat: Beyond the Fence (O Gato do Simon Pula a Cerca), Simon Tofield; Kick-Ass, Mark Millar, John Romita Jr.
- The longest book was Starters (Destinos Interrompidos), by Lissa Price, with 352 pages, and the shortest book was Kick-Ass, by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., with 216 pages - the 6 books I read average 275 pages per book, so I guess I could say there's a tendency for me to choose books this length, not short but not long either... I would say books between 200 and 400 pages are ideal to read in a read-a-thon, at least for me
I did good this read-a-thon, and I had fun, so count me in for the next one. Thank you to the hosts and everyone who hosted a challenge.
Below are my posts for the read-a-thon, both the starting post as well
as the daily update posts, which contain my progress and my answers to
the challenges.
Meu Deus, correu mesmo bem! 235 páginas por dia é a loucura :D
ResponderEliminarCorreu, sim. :D Mas a BD dá um empurrãozinho, se não fosse esta, teria lido bastante menos. xD
