High Summer Readathon Update - July 30, 2011

I am participating in the High Summer Readathon hosted by Michelle at The True Book Addict (see my original post for details as well as my reading list).

I had to switch up my list just a bit, and I've been reading like a demon this week (pretty much switching from heavy to light, then back), as next week I'd like to spend quite a bit of time writing up reviews and setting them up to be scheduled.  I have some eGalleys that are expiring soon, so I wanted to get at least one of those read.  I'm also heading up a discussion on The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley starting August 1, so .. I figured that it might be a very good idea to read it before starting the discussion!  :)

I spent a LOT of time today reading, and I'll read a bit more before bed.

Tomorrow I plan to visit the mini-challenges (nothing like doing these at the last minute!) and on Monday I'll visit more of the participating blogs for their wrap-up posts and to cheer their progress.

Wow! You are reading like crazy! Congrats on finishing so many books and good luck in the final stretch of the read-a-thon! I'm participating too, but wasn't able to start until today :(

I am SO impressed! You are really doing the reading this week. Can you mail me some of your mojo? LOL And don't worry about waiting to do the mini-challenge. That's why it's left open the entire week. Can't wait to see your entry. =O)

I hope you're enjoying Bradley's book. And I agree with JP - you gobble books like nobody's business :)
