Mystery Lover...but overall a very eclectic reader. Will read everything from the classics to historical fiction. Biography to essays. Not into horror or much into YA.

Fall Catch-Up Read-a-Thon Wrap-Up
I have just finished up the Fall Catch-up Read-a-thon hosted by Michelle at A True Book Addict. Although I did read four books as anticipated, I didn't quite meet my goal. My fourth book was intended to be The Divine Comedy III: Paradise by Dante--but as you can see below, I didn't make it. I did give my self an extra few hours on the read-a-thon. My co-rec softball team needed me for a double-header this afternoon and I decided I deserved the extra time for not letting the team down. (It's 8 pm somewhere...right?) This was a great read-a-thon...really made me keep working on the first two books of The Divine Comedy.
Here's my list. Books read have the date and reviews may be found by clicking on the titles.
1. The Divine Comedy II: Purgatory by Dante Alighieri (trans Dorothy L Sayers) (read 9/26/10)
2. Strong Poison by Dorothy L Sayers (read 9/20/10)
3. The Divine Comedy III: Paradise by Dante Alighieri (trans by Sayers & Barbara Reynolds)
4. Soulless by Gail Carriger (read 9/22/10)
5. Cat Among the Pigeons by Agatha Christie (read 9/26/10)

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
Great job, Bev! It's perfectly okay to add hours on. I do it all the time unless it's a read-a-thon with strict time constraints...mine was a very laid back readathon. I hope you enjoyed it and that you will join me for my next one!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I didn't meet my goals :(
