Ides of March Read-a-Thon: Start + Reading List + Mini Challenge + Wrap Up!

The Ides of March Read-a-Thon is hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer!

 
The read-a-thon starts on March 13th, and ends on Monday March 17th!

 
To join the read-a-thon, visit the sign-up post HERE!

 
The goal of this read-a-thon is to read books from our own TBR piles, and at least one book published before March 1st, 2014.

On Twitter we'll use #TBRreadathon.

You can check out the start-up post HERE!

There will be a Twitter Party on Sunday, March 16th from 4 to 5 pm EST, hopefully, I will make it.

 

I don't know how much I will be able to read, but I'm hoping I'll read at least one book from my TBR pile. Since I'm late with my starting post, I already read some & finished the previously started Goliath by Scott Westerfeld, and I also read some from Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake, which is actually a re-read for me, and I also started it before this read-a-thon.

From my TBR, I'm hoping to read something from these books:

  

I'll just update this post with my reading progress, and I'm hoping to participate in some of the mini challenges, as well as the Twitter Party!

  

Spine Poetry:

 

 "Girl of Nightmares,

Up From the Grave,

Flesh & Bone, Fire & Ash,

Where She Went.

Days of Blood & Starlight,

on a Blood Red Road,

Ashes on the Waves,

the Harbinger of the Storm."

I used the following books from my TBR pile:

 

 

 

 Wrap Up:

Ok, so compared with how I usually do when participating in read-a-thons, I was a total failure this time.

I almost missed the Twitter Party, I catched the last 15 minutes or so (I totally forgot about it).

And I also didn't read any book, meaning, I didn't start & finish 1 book while the read-a-thon lasted. I still did read, I finished one book from my TBR that I had started before the read-a-thon: Goliath by Scott Westerfeld, and I also finished the previously started Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake, which was actually a re-read, so not from my TBR pile. And I did start 2 books from my TBR pile: Witch Finder by Ruth Warburton & The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa, and even though I enjoyed them so far, like so far this month, I haven't been feeling up to reading (or blogging), so I didn't finish them for the read-a-thon.

But, on the positive side, I did participate in all the mini challenges, so at least in that aspect I wasn't a failure ;)
