A Winter's Respite Read-a-Thon: My Updates #WintersRespite


In case you haven't heard, I'm hosting my winter read-a-thon, A Winter's Respite, over at my Seasons of Reading read-a-thon blog.  If you haven't already, why not sign-up and join us this week?  I'm hoping I will have time to get some good reading in this week.  Seems like the last few read-a-thons have been a total bust for me.  I say it's time for a game change!

WRAP-UP
As you can see below, I only updated once and that was because I didn't get shit read. *frown*  Well, I did manage to finish the first half of Les Mis...400 some odd pages.  But nowhere near what I had hoped.  Oh well, I enjoyed it anyway.  Interacting with all of my lovely participants is enough reward in itself! Looking forward to Spring into Horror in April!

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. It means so much.

I apologize for word verification, but as soon as I changed the settings from only users with Google accounts, I started receiving a ton of spam comments...within one hour of changing the settings. The bots are on high alert apparently.

  1. Best of luck! Also, love your new background. Really fits with your header.

  4. You have an impressive and varied list. Les Mis and Shakespeare have always intimidated me so go you! Have a wonderful week of reading Michelle.

  6. Loved The Night Circus. And Les Miserables is my favorite book (that and To Kill A Mockingbird), but I could never have finished it in a week. I think two or three is more like it for me, so I applaud you!

    I hope you have lots of down-time this week to enjoy all those goodies!

  8. Lots of great reading there especially the Shakespeare. I am unfortunately very bogged down with projects and thus unable to join.

    Have fun!
