Pick Your A Thon: Wrap Up

Everything has to come to an end, and today that is the case for the Pick Your A Thon, hosted by The Book Monsters.

It was quite a successful readathon for me, even though I might not have participated as much as I usually do at readathons. I did participate in the Get Organised Challenge, which was definitely good for my planning skills!

In the end I finished City of Bones, read a big chunck of Feed and started a third book, Alienation. All in all it was a pretty fun!

Pick Your A Thon: Get Organised Challenge

Pick Your A Thon is a fun read- & reviewathon hosted by The Book Monsters. Hop over to their blog to sign up and join in! (:

Update: I finished my first readathon book today, City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, which makes me a happy girl. It was really good, I'm looking forward to read the other books in the series. There are so many plot twists! I also started Feed today. I don't usually read zombie books, so I'm looking forward to see how I like this one. So far, so good.

The Challenge: Today's challenge is to get your reviews a bit more organised. I'm pretty much a mood reader, and tend to be not that great with deadlines. I am trying to keep up with my Netgalley books that I like to review on their release date. I'll just make a list here for Netgalley books that I still have to read and at what date they have to be read and reviewed. Maybe I create a little bit of order into my reviewing chaos!

January 3rd - Alienation by Jon S. Lewis (Thomas Nelson)
January 15th - Touch of Power by Maria V. Snyder (Harlequin)
January 24th - Legacy of Eden by Nelle Davy (Harlequin)
February 14th - The Wolf Gift by Anne Rice (Knopf Doubleday)
March 8th - Katana by Cole Gibson (Flux Books)
April 8th - Ripper by Amy Carol Reeves (Flux Books)

I also added these into my organiser so I remember when to post which review. Turns out I have quite enough time to review al my books. So I'll list some older books that I would like to review upcoming months.

January 6th - Demon's Fall by Karalynn Lee (Carina Press)
January 12th - Stone Kissed by Keri Stevens (Carina Press)
January 18th - Carry by Stephen King (Hodder)
January 21th - Watcher in the Woods by Robert Liparulo (Thomas Nelson)

I'm feeling so organised right now. :D This is definitely on of the most productive challenges I have ever participated in!

Pick Your A Thon: Sign Up

I stumbled across this fun read/review-athon today and I thought I'd give it a try. I might not be able to read that much but I always like to participate in this kind of events. Plus the blog is called The Book Monsters, and you all know I love monsters!




What book(s) are you starting with?
I'm going to dive into all the books I got for Christmas! And maybe get through some more Netgalley books that I have for review.

I hope to read / review:
My goal is to finish at least two books. I'm starting so many books right now but never finish them. Maybe this will be the little push I need to finish 'm (: I don't really have to review them immediately, I still have a lot of reviews that need posting.

Books I hope to read / review or at least will try to get to:
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, Touch of Power by Maria V. Snyder and maybe get started in Feed by Mira Grant.
