Ending Thoughts

Hi guys,
So I just wanted to write a bit of a wrap up for the week. I had so much fun taking part in bout of books again this time, so I'd like to say a big thank you to the hosts of this fantastic read-a-thon. It's helped me get my yearly reading goal of to a great start.
Next I'd like to say that although I didn't quite manage to complete all my challenges. (I didn't finish a series, read a classic, or get 200 pages a day. Fail.) I still had a great time taking part, and I read some pretty great books, and it's gotten me into a total reading buzz, which is a great place to be at the start of the year.
As a side note I'd just like to add that all the books I read during this read-a-thon, will be reviewed this coming week. I've already written up the reviews, and they're scheduled to be posted one a day until I run out. So if you want to see what I thought of the books, then please subscribe to my site, or keep checking back.
I'd also like to say a quick thank you for all of the comments I've gotten over the course of the read-a-thon. I've enjoyed reading them, so feel free to let me know how you did during the read-a-thon.

Until next time,
Hannah

    1. Thanks. I have to go out and pick up new glasses today, so I won't have as much free time, but hopefully I won't watch so much TV and I can get over 200 at least.

    1. Bout of books is fantastic. I've done a few now, and it always helps me get a lot of reading done. It's a great way to start the year.
      I did like Insurgent. The review will be posted sometime next week, so make sure you're subscribed if you want to see that, or just check back.
      I'll have a look at your progress now.

    1. Thanks, it was tough going and I had to slip a novella in at the last minute to get the six, because I realised I wasn't going to be able to complete Allegiant or Nineteen Eight Four in time, but I'm glad that I got six in the end.
      I had a great time taking part.
