Summer Lovin' Final Day!! Participation Post

Visit Read-a-Thon Central for more information!

I am so sad Summer Lovin' is coming to a close today!! We have had such a BLAST this week hosting this read-a-thon. I truly hope that you had a great time participating and for those of who didn't, were patient with my feed blowing up this week. 


I had a great week reading--though not the books I originally intended on reading this week! I did visit a lot of you and I was thrilled to see so many of you visit here on Love.Life.Read as well.

I managed to read 6 books this read-a-thon. Here is my daily breakdown:

Progress on My Goals:

Number of Books I Read Day 1: 1 and partial of a second
Total Number of Books I Read This Week: 1 1/4 books
 

Number of Books I Read Day 2: finished Just One Kiss
Total Number of Books I Have Read This Week: 2

I also visited many blogs today before and after work.

Number of Books I Read Day 3: 1.5
Total Number of Books I Have Read This Week: 3 and working on my 4th
  • Riptide by Lindsey Scheibe
  • Two of a Kind by Susan Mallery
 *

Number of Books I Read Day 4: still the same as yesterday--3 working on my 4th
Total Number of Books I Have Read This Week: 3

Number of books I Read Day 5: finished up Two of a Kind
Total Number of Books I Have Read This Week: 4

Number of books I Read Day 6: 1

  • Three of a Kind by Susan Mallery


Number of books I plan on reading today, the last day of Summer Lovin': 1 or 2
Total Number of Books I Have Read this Week: 6 or 7
  • Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins
  • Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers
 


So while I did not read the books I fully intended on reading this week, I am happy with my progress. I also had a great time participating in the Summer Lovin' Greased Lightnin' Twitter Chat--did you participate? 

Because I am always looking at ways to improve myself and the things I do, please share your thoughts on Summer Lovin' in my comments below! All the feedback will be used to improve until the next Read-a-Thon Central's read-a-thon. Stay tuned for our announcement for it by following here on Love.Life.Read or Read-a-Thon Central's website

    1. I did not quite get the 6th book finished but I at least started it. Too much to get caught up around the house Sunday to fully get it finished.

      Thanks for participating and Happy Reading!

  6. Wow six books! Thats awesome. Just trying to get one done in a week is a struggle with work! Glad to see Susan was on your list of books this week to read!

  7. I love the Fool's Gold series. They can be read as stand alone books, but once you start you will want to read all of them. Looking forward to reading Three Little Word, coming out on July 30.
