When I started this thing, I said I’d be okay with only getting one book finished… Unfortunately, I came up a few pages shy of even doing that!
So here are my final stats for the 2019 Tackle Your TBR Read-a-thon hosted by Wishful Endings:
Pages read on days I havent already posted about:
Day 3: 41; Day 4: 69; Day 5: 50; Day 6: 50; Day 7: 24
Total Pages Read: 343
Total Books Finished: 0 😢
Oh well. I guess there’s always next year…
I managed to read a little bit more yesterday than in Day 1 of the 2019 Tackle Your TBR Read-a-thon hosted by Tess at Wishful Endings. Here are my stats at the end of Day 2:
Beautiful Revolutionary by Laura Elizabeth Woollett
This was the only book I read yesterday (other than some very short children’s books). I don’t actually know much about Jim Jones and his cult, but so far this story is amazing in a creepy sorta way.
Books Read Day #2: 1

So I’m trying really hard not to compare my first day of the Tackle Your TBR Read-a-thon to last year, but I’m not succeeding! I currently have 4 kids under the age of 4 here so it’s silly to think I’ll be reading entire books every day… Yet my competitive nature still produces an inner voice that says I must constantly be improving and doing better than before. So I’m really struggling to just be happy with what I can do right now.
Because the idea that I should be anywhere near the page count I was at last year is a ridiculous lie.
The truth is, every page I get to read is a victory! So without further ado, the following is my Day 1 Update:
Beautiful Revolutionary by Laura Elizabeth Woollett
Pages Read: 28
The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
I hadn’t actually planned on reading The Wizard of Oz during the read-a-thon, but the kids found the copy My husband got me from The Folio Society for my birthday and they were obsessed with the pictures so I decided might as well read it to them! We got through 14 pages together.

Well, the 2018 Tackle Your TBR Read-a-thon hosted by Wishful Endings has officially come to an end. I didn’t get a chance to post for the last couple of days, but I didn’t get to read much either so I guess it’s okay. I had a great time participating and am excited to do so again next year!
I was able to get 5 books, which is short of my original goal of reading 6 books during this week. However, knowing how difficult it was going to be with the babies and birthday parties happening I was smart… I set a secondary goal of 100 pages per day, which I definitely managed to pull off!!!
Here’s my wrap up:
Total Books Read: 5
Total Pages Read: 1,399
Finished Books: Hunting Annabelle by Wendy Heard, Get Weird by CJ Casciotta, A Home for the Redeemed by Sue Behnke, Auschwitz Lullaby by Mario Escobar, and Not the girls your looking for by Aminah Mae Safi
I totally forgot to post an update yesterday for Day 4 of the 2018 Tackle Your TBR Read-a-thon hosted by Wishful Endings! So…I’m just combining my days 4 & 5 together into one post.
So here’s how Days 4 & 5 – September 20 & 21, 2018 went for me:
Books Read Days 4 & 5: Auschwitz Lullaby by Mario Escobar and Not the girls you’re looking for by Aminah Mae Safi
Pages Read: 375
Total Books Read: 4
Total Pages Read: Unsure thanks to a glitch on my Kindle
Finished Books: Hunting Annabelle by Wendy Heard, Get Weird by CJ Casciotta, A Home for the Redeemed by Sue Behnke, Auschwitz Lullaby by Mario Escobar.
Looks like I should be able to meet my goal of finishing 6 books during the Read-a-thon!!!
(A side note…If you’re wondering why my posts look a little funky, it’s because I’ve been updating from my phone and I have no idea what I’m doing! Just bear with me while I try to figure out how to format my posts using the app. Eventually I’ll figure it out…I hope!)
