I may just be crazy. Why? Because I am going to attempt to read 10 books in 10 days. That's right! I am #ReadingForGold."Summer is coming to a close and it’s time to get through those books that have been sitting in your TBR pile while you’ve been at the beach this season! Are you ready to read 10 books in 10 days? Take the #ReadingDecathlon challenge and see if you can power your way through ten books in less than two weeks! Pshh… easy right?" ~ Epic Reads Blog

The Results
I did it! I read 10 books in 10 days! I can't believe it. I almost didn't finish since in those 10 days I only had 2 days off of work. I read a total of 3,648 pages during that time! I'm feeling good. I had a lot of fun with this reading challenge and it was the hardest I have ever done. Between working two jobs, house stuff, and taking care of my puppy it was hard to set all that time aside to read. I honestly couldn't have done it without the help of my husband. I didn't really blog this week, but hopefully I can get back into the swing of things. So there you have it. Have you done this challenge yet? Are your going do it?
Ah I'm so tempted to do this but I have no idea when the best time would be! haha. I have so much random junk coming up that I dont feel like I'd come close D:
ReplyDeleteIt was a challenge that is for sure!
DeleteThis is really such an awesome idea. I'm feeling inspired with all the Olympics going on for sure! After the re-readathon I am (sort of) participating in, I'm thinking 10 days of graphic novels and other short reads sounds like a perfect challenge for me :)
ReplyDeleteThis was fun! We both rocked it. :D
DeleteWhat! This is so amazing! you must be so proud. I hope you enjoyed each and every book :D
ReplyDeleteI did! I didn't read for several days after. hahahaha
