It’s the last day of the 2013 Summer Lovin’ Read-a-Thon. I can’t believe it’s already over. This week, like the rest of my summer, has gone by so fast. I’m glad I signed up, it’s been tons of fun and I got to talk to some cool new people who share a love of reading. To me, that’s great, especially since I live in a small town where this is conversation when someone finds me reading.
“Is that for school?”
“No. I like to read.”
“….. why?”
Sigh, they just don’t get it. Anyway, moving on.
Today’s topic is Graduation Day:
List your accomplishments, big and small.
Did you make some new friends? Call them out.
Read-a-Thon goals:
Going Under: COMPLETED
The Fetch: 20%
Reckoning: 10%
okay, I didn’t finish those goals. I ended up reading other books because I just wasn’t feeling The Fetch or Reckoning just then, so my unofficial goals.
Truly, Madly, Deadly: COMPLETED
Lola & the Boy Next Door: 60%
At least I got two, almost three books done. That’s not too bad. I may end up finishing Lola if I get my butt off the computer and go read before all my shows start later, because then I will be useless.
I also got to chat with some really awesome bloggers yesterday on Twitter, such as:
Libby @ Libby’s Fun Books
Francine @ Bookworm and Boots
Michelle @ Unraveling Books
Stephanie @ Love. Life. Read.
Jess @ Such A Novel Idea
Well, that’s it! I had a great week and hope to enter something like this again soon! xx

/ July 8, 2013How frustrating to have a town full of people who don’t read for fun. Reading is the best. Seriously. Great job this week even though you didn’t reach your goals.

/ July 8, 2013Very frustrating. My town is super small, I actually think I have more books than the YA section in the public library here. Thanks! I’m just glad that I finished two books, that’s good enough for me.
Jessica
/ July 8, 2013First of all-I LOVE your blog colors! Second-I’m glad you had fun and got to talk books! I know it’s hard not being able to talk to others about them in real life. 🙂
Lillian Verlaine
/ July 8, 2013Thank you! It definitely is, thank goodness for the friends I’ve made online who share the same love for it and don’t judge me when I swoon over fictional characters.
Francine Soleil
/ July 8, 2013I deviated from my reading goals too. Haha. And I didn’t finish either. I started some books but didn’t finish them even though they were good. XD Anyway, congratulations on your progress. It was great meeting you. 😀
Lillian Verlaine
/ July 8, 2013You, too! I know the feeling, I just cant get into them sometimes no matter how good they are or how much I’ve wanted to read them.

/ July 12, 2013What did you think of Lola???
Lillian Verlaine
/ July 12, 2013Blah, I need to review that book, keep forgetting and being lazy. It was alright. I didn’t like it half as much as Anna, but I’d like to read Isla. Lola just didn’t have same zest, and I could not stand the name Cricket.
