Summer Lovin’ Read-a-thon Day 5 – Goal Progress & Book Title Scramble

Posted July 5, 2013 by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction in Challenges / 8 Comments

Today is day 5 of the Summer Lovin’ Read-a-thon and we’re supposed to be sharing our progress on our goals (which I’ve been doing every day anyway).  I’m pretty sure I said on Day 1 that I’m not so good at goal-setting; and sure, enough, I’ve veered off the path I set on Monday.  As it turned out, I decided it was more important to read The Copyeditor’s Handbook (since I’m working on my first copyediting job) than to get through all of the fiction books I had planned to read.  And then last night I realized that I really should get started on the Matt Archer: Monster Hunter series because I have to read all three books for my review on the 15th and I hate waiting until the last minute to read review books.  So, my original reading goals have morphed a bit, but I’m okay with that.

Goal Progress

Branded (Sinners, #1)  The Copyeditor's Handbook: A Guide for Book Publishing and Corporate Communications, with Exercises and Answer Keys  Slammed (Slammed, #1)  Matt Archer: Monster Hunter (Matt Archer #1)

Day 1: Finished reading Branded by Abi Ketner and Missy Kalicicki.
Completed Challenges (Introduction and Teaser Tidbit)
Day 2: Read 150 pages of The Copyeditor’s Handbook (okay, it’s not fiction and technically wasn’t one of my goal books, but it’s still reading!)
Day 3: Finished The Copyeditor’s Handbook
Read 152 pages of Slammed by Colleen Hoover
Completed Challenges (Favorite Female Character & Page 99 Test)  
Day 4:
Finished Slammed by Colleen Hoover – This book should have been used for yesterday’s post about books that make you cry.  I cried often in the second half of the book!  Loved it!
Read 60 pages of Matt Archer: Monster Hunter by Kendra C. Highley

This was a fun new challenge.  And it was actually somewhat challenging!  I think I managed to get five from each month, though (I had to check some of the titles on Goodreads to make sure that I was correct!).  Now, no peeking if you haven’t done the challenge yet – That just wouldn’t be fair!!  ๐Ÿ™‚
