Fantasy Favourites Readathon Wrap-Up Post!

This Readathon has been SO much fun to do and I've really enjoyed being part of it. I have a final summary to display, as well as some questions that I've been asked to answer. Here we go!

Final Summary:

Total Pages Read: 853
Total Time Spent Reading: 670 Minutes (11 Hours, 10 Minutes)
Number Of Books Completed: 2

1) What was your page reading goal? Did you reach it?

Actually yes, I did. I wanted to read these two books for this Readathon making my page reading goal 853 I guess, which I achieved!

2) What books did you read?

I managed 'Cress' by Marissa Meyer and 'The Iron Trial' by Holly Black & Cassandra Clare.

3) What book was your most/least favourite?

'Cress' was easily my favourite, though I thought 'The Iron Trial' was okay.

4) What challenge did you find the hardest?

Probably the Dating Profiles one, I wasn't massively far into 'Cress' and I wanted to do it justice. I become a real perfectionist when it comes to character work and it takes me ages!

5) What challenge was the most fun to do?

Either casting for the movie version or the Soundtrack/Playlist Challenge. I'm a huge film and music lover!

6) Did you make any new blogging friends?

I certainly had a few new commenters with some interesting opinions and ideas that I enjoyed talking to!

7) What was your biggest reading distraction? How did you get over it?

Uhh life? I work 5 days a week and spend the rest of the time eating, doing chores or sleeping. I mostly just had to work round these things and make time.

8) What was your reading schedule? Mornings or evenings? Weekdays or weekends?

Definitely weekends because during the week I work! Also sometimes I work early shifts and sometimes late, so I can't really choose between mornings and evenings. In short: no schedule whatsoever.

9) Are you and Tyrion still friends?

Of course we are! We are totally book buddies!

10) Would you do this again?

Absolutely!

TBR Readathon Wrap-Up Post!

Well I have totally filled in my Update post and I must say I'm slightly disappointed with my results, though completely understand how they came about. The thing is, the weekend that this challenge has fallen upon has been very busy for me. On Friday and Saturday I had work so didn't have much time to read unfortunately. While Sunday and Monday are normally my designated catch-up days, I travelled down to Ashford to spend time with family (Sunday was Mother's Day in the UK) and came back today, Monday. I've had plenty of chores and other things to be getting on with too, so my reading time has been limited. That being said,  promised a final summary, so here it is!

Final Summary:

Total Pages Read: 297
Total Time Spent Reading: 465 Minutes (7 Hours, 45 Mins)
Number Of Books Completed: 1

• The Enchanted, Rene Denfeld

I'm not sure I can even count that as a book completed because I did start it pre-Readathon, so I won't be entering it into the raffle. Still it was a lot of fun and I can't wait to get into my next Readathon, the sign-up post for which went up today!

Six books is a pretty good result for me, I'm fairly pleased with that! My goal was six,so I'm really glad I reached it! I had wanted to try and beat it, but i feel like I did well considering how busy I've been, and the fact that I haven't been well!
