Fraterfest Read-a-Thon: Starting Post, Goals, Updates & Wrap Up!

Fraterfest Read-a-Thon is hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

The read-a-thon starts on Friday October 5th at 12:01 am CST (my time zone that's 7 am) and ends at midnight on Monday October 8th CST (for me ends on Tuesday at 7 am).

You can read whatever you want as long as one book is either a Rhiannon Frater novel or a bump in the night book (vampire, zombie, shapeshifter, ghost etc).

Day 1 Update: I read the graphic novel Courtney Crumrin, Volume 2: The Coven of Mystics (129 pages). I also started The Immortal Rules, but read only 27 pages from it, and I read only 18 pages of the previously started September Lights. So, I read a total of 174 pages for day one.

Day 2 Update: I read only 7 pages from Zafon's September Lights, so a total fail today :(

Day 3 Update: I finished September Lights (170 pages read today) and I read 55 pages of The Immortal Rules, so a total of 225 pages today.

Day 4 Update: I read only 38 pages of The Immortal Rules. 

Wrap Up: I didn't read as much as I would've liked, but I did ok, finished one previously started book (September Lights by Carlos Ruiz Zafon) and one graphic novel Courtney Crumrin Volume 2: The Coven of Mystics by Ted Naifeh. I also started Julie Kagawa's The Immortal Rules, and although so far I've been loving it, I only managed to read 120 pages, so I blame it on the not enough free time for reading! 

So, I read a total of 444 pages (this wasn't done on purpose) and I didn't manage to complete my goals :( 

But, I had lots of fun with this read-a-thon, loved all the mini challenges, I participated in 6 of them and of course I loved the twitter party, so I'm already looking forward to the next read-a-thon!

One big THANK YOU to both Kimba for hosting this read-a-thon, and to all the challenge hosts, as well as the fellow read-a-thoners!
