Once Upon a Readathon wrap-up

My first ever readathon is now over and I can't help but be disappointed in myself. Usually much of my day is spent reading. I read like, all the time. So I thought having a big TBR list was no sweat. I go through books like nothing. Except I kind of had a social life this week. Between college admissions calls , actually seeing my friends and *le gasp* going outside I haven't had all that much time to read. Also, the TBR list was daunting for me and really made me want to read less. I mean, it felt like I was giving myself summer reading. Yikes. So I have to say that I loved the whole idea of a readathon, but they just really don't seem like the thing for me.

Anyway, the stats:

Books started>

Incarceron by Catherine Fisher
Hunger by Michael Grant

Books finished>

Incarceron by Catherine Fisher

Total pages read>

866

So yeah, that's my first, and last for at least a while, readathon wrap-up. Do you enjoy readathons? How many do you do annually on average? Let me know!

Isn't it odd. I usually have tons of time to read as well and yet this week I suddenly had invitations to the cinema, computer emergencies and an appointment I was waiting on come through as well as a long tiring meeting. So although I've not yet totalled up my page count it is hardly more than I'd do on an average 3-day period. Still without the read-a-thon I might have only done much less.

As for numbers, this is my first go at a three-day one but I have when not clashing with other things done Dewey's 24-hour Read-a-thon that takes place in April and October each year.

That literally describes my last three days. Way more eventful than I'm used to!

I think the 24-hour readathon might be interesting. That would probably be easier to manage things around. Thanks for the comment! :)

You're a hero in my eyes for even starting a read a thon in the first place! I get all stressed out and I can't read, so I always admired people who do read a thons.
Also, yay!You read one book :D And a huge one at that!

Ha, well thank you! *bows* I'm afraid I'm not doing another one anytime soon though. It was so much pressure! And that book was HUGE. Felt like I was running a reading marathon.
