Well, the April 2010 Read-a-Thon is almost over. I hope everyone enjoyed it! I’ve been reading some more of The Warden this morning and am almost finished now, so my total for the read-a-thon is one and three-quarter books. I knew I wouldn’t read as much as a lot of other bloggers, so I’m quite happy with that. It was fun anyway – I took part in a few mini-challenges and was even chosen to win a prize in Hour 11!
Thanks to all the read-a-thon co-hosts, mini-challenge hosts, cheerleaders and everyone else who was involved in making this such a great event!
Hour 10 Update
Hour 10 already! The book I’m currently reading is The Warden by Anthony Trollope. I’ve been wanting to read something by Trollope for such a long time but for some reason have just never got round to it until now.
I’m going to have to go to bed soon, but since the read-a-thon doesn’t finish here until 1pm tomorrow afternoon, I should have plenty of time to continue reading in the morning. Good luck to everyone in a different time zone or who is planning to read all night!
Mini-Challenge
This hour I also took part in another mini-challenge – Where in the World Have You Read Today? hosted by nomadreader. We were asked to place a pin on a map to show the location where the book we’re reading is set, so I posted one in England which is where The Warden takes place.
Hour 6: Update
1/4 of the way through the read-a-thon now – and I’ve finished my first book, Our Promised Land by Michael T. Darkow. You can look out for my review of that one later in the week, as I’m not planning to post any reviews during the read-a-thon.
Mini-Challenge
I couldn’t resist taking part in this Mini-Challenge hosted by Bart’s Bookshelf. For this challenge we were asked to put together a sentence formed by the titles of three or four books – here’s what I came up with:
Wild Swans Haunted The Italian
I hope everyone who’s taking part in the read-a-thon is having fun. I’m going back to my books now!

Hey, you sound like you're doing well… and having fun! That's awesome~ XDHaha, yes, rest is good. I went to bed too, but the Read-a-Thon ends at 20H here, so that's not too bad, I suppose. XP Whatever time you wake up, I'm sure there'll still be hours left to catch some last minute reading in. ;)And you know, it actually doesn't matter how much reading you get in as compared to how much fun you have doing it. 😉 So, here's to more happy reading~And, it's a bonus that you won the Reader of the Hour picking~ CONGRATULATIONS! XDAnd now, back to your regularly scheduled program. XPKihana
I know, can you believe we're half way through?? Keep up the great reading 🙂
I'd like to read Trollope, but I feel intimidated by the length of his novels. I'm sure that once I started, I'd be OK…just a mental block.
You're doing great! Keep it up!
