I am so looking forward to this Read - a - Thon. I have been in a kind of slump right now and this is the kind of kick in the pants I need to get me out of it. I never stick to the TBR's I make but there are a couple of books I want to get to -
1. Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote
2. Han Solo Trilogy by A C Crispin. I want to know a little more about one of my favorite characters in the Star Wars world and I've heard these books are the way to go.
3. Anything else that catches my fancy

ShitIHaveTooManyBooks Read - A - Thon: Updates + Wrap - Up

I just completed the Bout of Books Read - a - Thon. I did pretty well, but I was not able to complete my goal of completing a series that I have one book left in. So I am going to enter the "Shit I have too many books" Read - a - Thon being hosted by Regan from PeruseProject on YouTube.

This particular Read - a - Thon starts today, that is, 19th May Monday Morning to Next Monday. It is a week long Read - a - Thon. Anyone interested in joining can use the hashtag - #shitihavetoomanybooks to tweet about it. I am not going to make any TBR or set any goals because I am apparently not up to following it. So I'll just go where my whims take me. I am also going to put up updates on this post as and when I can.

19th May, 2014 -
Update 1 - Because it is Regan hosting this Read - a - Thin I'll probably start reading a Fantasy Novel. I am leaning towards reading Brandon Sanderson's Warbreaker

27th May, 2014 - 
So all I read the whole of last week was Warbreaker by  Brandon Sanderson. But I'm proud of myself for finishing it. I cannot contain my feelings for this book. It was AWESOME & EPIC. And it was a stand alone.

Long story short I completed 1 book for the SitIHaveTooManyBooks Read - a - Thon and read a total of 676 pages.

Here is the video from Regan talking about the Read - a - Thon.

Happy Reading!!

So my last day of Bout of Books was pretty abysmal. I just could not read much. But I did rearrange my books and found more space for them! I mean I do not need that much space for my clothes. I am looking at the positive here. So I read a total of 9 books and started 3. That brings my page count to 1769 pages which is pretty decent. How did your reading go?
