I'll update this post with my reading progress as I read. Of course I won't read all of these, but I am a moody reader, so I have to have choices. Let's just hope I won't stray from my reading list ;)

 

Update #1:

 

In the first 4 days of the read-a-thon, I finished 3 previously started books: Good Omens, The 5th Wave & Alif the Unseen. I also particpated in the Name That Cover mini challenge. Now I decided to start some new books, although it seems I'll probably stray from my reading list ;)

Update #2:

  

Since my last update, I read 5 books, but I totally strayed from my reading list ;) I read Bloodsucking Fiends, Alice in Zombieland, Allison Hewitt is Trapped, Her Favorite Temptation (this one is actually prequel novella, but since it's almost 170 pages, I'm counting it as one book, although shorter one) & Her Favorite Rival. Unbelievable, but it seems I'll manage to complete by goals ;) I also participated in the other 2 mini challenges.

Update #3:

Ok, so this should've been wrap up, but it isn't. I haven't been around the blogosphere these days, so I missed that Jessi & Reanna decided to extend the read-a-thon for another week, so I was still working to finish my goals in time, and I'm actually glad to say that I did complete them, so YAY for me ;) So, since my last update, I finished 2 more previously started books: Splintered & Spanking Shakespeare.
