Clean Slate Read-A-Thon | Wrap Up

The Clean Slate Read-A-Thon is hosted by Novel Ink, Lost in Lit & Latte Nights Reviews! So what exactly is the Clean Slate Read-A-Thon? This Read-A-Thon is only for books that we didn’t get to in 2015. Any 2015 release we never got to read. We want to start this year off with a clean slate so let’s get those 2015 releases off our TBR and make run for all of those 2016 releases! The Clean Slate Read-A-Thon will be held from Sunday, January 10th at 12am (EST) till Sunday, January 17th at 11:59pm (EST). 


The Clean Slate Read-A-Thon really helped me take some of those older books off my TBR list. I'd say that I had another very successful Read-A-Thon! But now it's time to wrap everything up. Below I'm just going to post a recap of everything for the past week.


MY ORIGINAL TBR (1/10):

I have quite a few 2015 releases still on my TBR list that I just wasn't able to get to or finish last year, so I thought that the Clean Slate Read-A-Thon would be a great opportunity to get some of them off my list.




UPDATE (1/11):

The End Game is waiting
to be read!
I FINISHED Ascenders
on Sunday!
I will be starting Seduce
tonight!

Imperfect Love is waiting
to be read!

BOOKISH RESOLUTIONS + UPDATE (1/12):

Today's mini-challenge is Bookish Resolutions hosted by Novel Ink!


BOOKISH RESOLUTIONS

There is one BIG resolution that I have that encompasses Reading, Reviewing and Blogging. I need to work on my time management. Last year, I got so behind on A LOT of my reading and reviewing. Blogging wasn't so bad, but there were a few times when some posts didn't go up on time. So better time management is my resolution.


Started reading The End
Game last night! I'm
almost half done!
I FINISHED Ascenders
on Sunday!
I FINISHED Seduce
on Monday!
Imperfect Love is waiting
to be read!

UPDATE (1/13):

I read 7 chapters last night
and I'm now 63% done!
I FINISHED Ascenders
on Sunday!
I FINISHED Seduce
on Monday!

Imperfect Love is waiting
to be read!

BOOK COVER HUNT + UPDATE (1/14):

Today's mini-challenge is a Book Cover Hunt hosted by Latte Nights Reviews!


BOOK COVER HUNT

Since I can't post my answers here, I'm just going to repost the cover fragments so you know what we are looking for. All of these are from 2016 releases!

I couldn't figure out #10 and #11. I looked through Goodreads 2 or 3 times and I just couldn't find them.

UPDATE (1/16): I finally got #10 and #11!!





I was so exhausted yesterday
that I didn't stay up last night
to read as much as I possibly
could, so I only read 7.5 chapters 
last night and I'm now 77% done!
I FINISHED Ascenders
on Sunday!
I FINISHED Seduce
on Monday!



Imperfect Love is waiting
to be read!

UPDATE (1/15):

I FINISHED The End
Game on Thursday!
I FINISHED Ascenders
on Sunday!
I FINISHED Seduce
on Monday!

It's now on to Imperfect Love!
I'm already 40% into the book.
I'm hoping that I can get this one
finished during the Read-A-Thon.
It's another long one like The End
Game. Wish me luck!

BOOKSHELF SCAVENGER HUNT + UPDATE (1/16):

Today's mini-challenge is Bookshelf Scavenger Hunt hosted by Lost in Lit!


BOOKSHELF SCAVENGER HUNT

Here are the five books we need to locate for this challenge: 

 1. A book with a seasonal cover 
2. A book with a one-word title 
3. A book with an animal on the cover 
4. A book with a long title 
5. A book with a couple on the cover


Winterborne (Universe Unbound #1)Reap (The Harvest Saga, #1)The Duality Paradigm (Blood and Bone Trilogy, #1)Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (The Dowser #1)How to Tell a Lie (Truth and Lies, #1)



I FINISHED The End
Game on Thursday!
I FINISHED Ascenders
on Sunday!
I FINISHED Seduce
on Monday!

I read 2.5 chapters last night,
mostly because I wasn't 
feeling well. But I discovered
that taking the % thing off the
corner on my Kindle caused me
to read a bit faster, since I wasn't
focused on how much more of the
book I had left to read. Which is
very helpful for long books like
this one. I am now 47% finished 
with Imperfect Love.

UPDATE (1/17):

I FINISHED The End
Game on Thursday!
I FINISHED Ascenders
on Sunday!
I FINISHED Seduce
on Monday!

I read 8 chapters last night!
I am now 70% done with the
book.

FINAL UPDATE (1/18):

I finished all the books on my TBR! I'm so happy that I had another successful Read-A-Thon that helped me get some of the older books I needed to read off of my TBR. Now I just need to spend this week working on all the reviews!



So that is my Clean Slate Read-A-Thon all wrapped up in a neat little post!
How did your reading go this past week?
