Wicked Wildfire Read-a-Thon: Day 4 and Day 5 update

Wicked Wildfire Readathon
Day 4
I started the Novella Reading Week challenge today, so I started a few novellas.
Read today:
Prodigy 8 pages
One Day More 3%
What Really Happened in Peru-listening to it, on chapter 4
My Soul to Lose 21 pages
Opal 5%- This was unplanned reading. I needed something to read while I ate lunch and the only book I had on my phone was Opal by Jennifer Armentrout, which was not on my reading list. Oh well, it is a pretty quick read so far.

Day 5
I finished two novellas today!
What Really Happened in Peru- finished!
My Soul to Lose- finished! 32 pages
Opal- 2%
One Day More- 24%
I did not pick up Prodigy at all, so fail there. I now want to read the rest of the Soul Screamers series, so my TBR list just grew a bunch.

Wicked Wildfire Readathon
Day 2
I continued reading Prodigy and read 40 pages yesterday. I also browsed a few other lists to see what people are reading this week. As usual I found more books I would like to read! No mini-challenge today.

Day 3
Still reading Prodigy and picked Girl with the Iron Touch back up. I really like Cross's Steampunk Chronicles.
Girl with the Iron Touch: 12%-26%- 54 pages
Prodigy- 12 pages
I also participated in two mini-challenges.
Kriss @ Cabin Goddess's Challenge: Songs for the Summer
 Laura @ Music Plus Books' Challenge: Cover Lover 
I chose Beneath Your Beautiful by Labrinth featuring Emeli Sande for Girl with the Iron Touch.

Wicked Wildfire Read-a-Thon: Day 1 update

Wicked Wildfire Readathon

Well I did do the Title Scramble and Jigsaw Puzzle Challenges, both hosted by My Shelf Confessions. However I only read 6 pages in Prodigy. A busy day of work combined with a cold and sunburn took its toll on my reading. Hopefully Saturday is a better day!

Library Books Read-a-thon

This is hosted by Rachael at Rachael Turns Pages. The goal is to read books you have checked out from the library. This Read-A-Thon will start at midnight on June 21 and will go until midnight of the 28th. You can sign up at this link. Obviously working in a library means I have too many books checked out. I also check out books from the county library where I live. This means I have lots of books from both libraries, so this read-a-thon will be really helpful. I will post a reading list a little closer to time. Thanks to Rachael for hosting!

Wicked Wildfire Read-a-thon

Wicked Wildfire Readathon

Wicked Wildfire Read-a-Thon is hosted by April @ My Shelf Confessions. You try to read as much as possible to get through your TBR pile. There are also fun mini-challenges and they also have a Twitter Party. I am way behind on my reading! I am also participating in the Novella Read Week part of the time, so a few of my choices will be novellas. My list of books/novellas to read from are Prodigy by Marie Lu, Girl with the Iron Touch by Kady Cross, If I Should Die by Amy Plum, Achieving Apollo by Rachel Leslie, The Prince by Kiera Cass, My Soul to Lose by Rachel Vincent, and One Day More by Aprilynne Pike. I hope to finish at least one book and one novella.

Novella Reading Week

Novella Reading Week
This challenge is hosted by Mindy of Magical Urban Fantasy Reads and Rachel at Fiktshun. The goal is to read novellas and post reviews of them. I definitely have a few novellas I bought or borrowed from the library that I need to read. I finished Die for Her last month and I hope to have a short review of it. This month I would like to read The Prince by Kiera Cass, One Day More by Aprilynne Pike, Before Legend by Marie Lu, My Soul to Lose by Rachel Vincent, and What Happened in Peru by Cassandra Clare and friends. Hopefully I can finish a couple of them and review them in the Novella Reading Week.
