Tackle Your TBR Read-a-thon Wrap Up

September 24, 2017 by Suzie Waltner 2 Comments

It’s going to be a busy week here on the blog. Lots of reviews and a few giveaways (including your chance to win Matt Redman’s new CD, Glory Song) so be sure and stop back by often. Don’t want to miss anything? Subscribe to blog updates by entering your email address in the box on the left sidebar and hitting the SUBSCRIBE button!

And not on to my Tackle Your TBR Challenge results. Bragging rights are firmly in place. If I learned one thing during this Read-a-thon, it’s that having a challenge placed in front of me keeps me on point with my reading. In fact, I not only read the seven books I’d hoped to read during this two weeks, I read a few more!

Most of these reviews are scheduled for future dates on my blog (starting tomorrow) so I’m including the links to my Goodreads reviews if you want to check them out sooner

Tackle Your TBR Read-a-thon Update

It’s Sunday everyone! One more week until the TBR read-a-thon ends. I thought I’d give everyone an update. Here’s the news: I’m ahead of schedule!

There were seven books total I wanted to read over the next two-week challenge and I started book six yesterday (hoping to finish today). Oh, and I also finished an extra one not on my list. So, yes, there have been a couple late nights this past week!

If you’re interested in joining us, there’s still time until Sept 23. You don’t have to have a blog, just somewhere to record your books, even if it’s just in the comments. Visit the readathon here for more information. Thanks to our challenge host, Tressa over at Wishful Endings.

Here’s my official update:

DAY OF THE CHALLENGE/DATE: Day 6, September 17, 2017

Currently Reading: A Priceless Find by Kate James

Total Books Read: 7

Finished Books: Waiting for Butterflies by Karen Sargent; Happily Ever Afters by Rachel Magee; Almond Street Mission by June Foster, Blind Spot by Dani Pettrey, Too Far Down by Mary Connealy; and The Engagement Plot by Krista Phillips.

Looking forward to knocking a few more off the long list this week!

Happy reading!

Tackle Your TBR Readathon – Sept 11 – 24, 2017

I don’t know about you, but my TBR pile doesn’t seem to shrink at all. Nope, it just keeps growing so the Tackle Your TBR Readathon, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, provides not only motivation but giveaways as well. Plus, if I’m successful, I’ll have some bragging rights!

How much reading can I get done in two weeks’ time? Well, I may be a little optimistic with this but I’m going to try and get through the following books during that time frame (thankfully I requested a couple extra days off work toward the end of the readathon so that will me out as well.
