High Summer Read-a-Thon

This week, I'm participating in the High Summer Read-a-Thon hosted by Michele at Seasons of Reading. I completely forgot about this, but luckily it's a very flexible read-a-thon. Basically, you read as much as you want throughout the entire week. My goal is always to read more than I normally would.

I did a lot of reading on Monday night ~ 113 pages to finish The Color of Our Sky by Amita Trasi.

I haven't had time to read since then. My daughter's swim meet took up 7 hours of my evening on Tuesday night (there was a storm delay) and I was too exhausted to read last night since I got very little sleep the night before. So tonight I plan to get back to it with Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger. I started this a while ago but had to put it aside to read The Color of Our Sky for a book tour. I have about 175 pages left in that. My goal is to finish Ordinary Grace during this read-a-thon, and hopefully to make some progress in another book as well.

If you're interested, it's not too late to join me in this read-a-thon!
