The two week long Dusting off the Shelf Read-a-thon has come to an end. This was the best I have done on a read-a-thon! I was able to complete 8 books (7 physical, 1 e-book). I also was able to pretty much complete all the challenges! I just can’t believe that in a two week period I was able to complete as many books as I was averaging for the past few months. This month is shaping up to be my best reading month and starting the 18th I will be participating in the Bout of Books Read-a-thon. Let me know how you did if you participated in this read-a-thon and if you will be participating in the Bout of Books! Now I have to go write a bunch of reviews.

Dusting Off the Shelf Read-a-thon | Three-Quarter Update

August 13, 2014 6 Comments

So far in August and for the beginning of the Dusting off the Shelf Read-a-thon I have continued to dominate! I have deviated from my set TBR and cheating a little by reading some books I got more recently than 6 months and doing some of my review reading. I still can’t believe that so far in 12 […]

Dusting Off the Shelf Read-a-thon | Mid-Way Update

I can’t believe how much reading I have been getting done. As I thought, my reading slowed down a little the past few days. Reality set in and I had places to be and things to do. I would say that I feel like I am slowly starting to make a dent in my TBR pile, but that […]

I decided to participate in a read-a-thon for the end of the month to help motivate me to read more since I haven’t read much this month and have been so busy, so when it was mentioned to me about this one I decided why not! To find out more information about the Too Many Books, So Little […]

Hi Mad Bookers welcome to my monthly wrap up! As you can see I have recently been updating and giving my blog a makeover (I have been trying to gear it more towards the Alice in Wonderland theme!) A lot has been happening this past month down the Book Hole! This post is kind of long (so grab […]
