Though the Beat the Heat Readathon , hosted by Jessi @ NovelHeartbeat and Reanna @ Phantasmic Reads , ended on the first of September, I'm just now getting the chance to reflect on it.  It's been a busy first week!  This was my first time participating in the readathon, and I like to believe that I was quite successful!  Much more successful than other challenges recently.  I was able to finish six books and read a total of 2334 pages in 3 weeks.  I had a great time participating in the reading portion of this challenge, but didn't really get the opportunity to participate in any of the mini-challenges along the way.  Challenge Stats Books Completed:  An Unnecessary Woman by Rabih Alameddine, Divergent ,  Insurgent , and Allegiant by Veronica Roth, Stuart Little by EB White, and Scotsmen Prefer Blondes by Sara Ramsey Book Started:  Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden   Most Successful Day:  Sunday, August ...

Beat the Heat Readathon   I am a reading challenge junkie...and I make no apologies!  The Beat the Heat Readathon is hosted by Jessi @ Novel Hearbeat and Reanna @ Phantasmic Reads  and runs from August 11th-September 1st.  Since I'm already participating in the Bookish Bingo Challenge, I thought this would coincide nicely.  Here are the rules!

Bout of Books 11 Goals We are very quickly approaching the start of Bout of Books 11 and I'm super excited to be participating again!  I participated in the last Bout of Books Challenge, my first time joining in, and would like to think it was rather successful for me.  However, I want to do more this time!  Here is what I hope to get done Finish the Divergent series by Veronica Roth (this will count for this challenge, Bookish Bingo , and the Beat the Heat Challenge I'm currently participating in).  I'm just starting the first in the series, so I should be able to accomplish this. Read Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden.  This will also count for all three challenges! Read more pages than I did for the last Bout of Books...a total of 779 pages last time. Participate in as many mini-challenges and chats as feasible! I'm thinking this is doable.  If you're interested, there's still time to sign up!  Here's the link . Happy r...
