#crushyourtbr wrap up

Sorry it took me this long to write this wrap up, I've been ill since Sunday and am only today feeling good enough to write this. If I do write something that doesn't make sense, blame the sickness. :)

Okay. My goal on Friday was to just finish George Orwell's 1984, which I did. I read the last 93 pages I had left of that book. Then for the rest of the weekend, I just focused on reading Resurrection by Steve Alten. I didn't feel the need to read something else to break it up a little bit, so I read almost the whole book during the read-a-thon. On Saturday, I read to page 134. On Sunday, I read 324 pages.

And the thing that annoys me the most is that I finished the book 15 minutes past midnight. I only had about 15 pages left, but, the read-a-thon ended at midnight, so I'm not counting those 15 in my total page count. Which is 552. I think I did okay. I had a small enough tbr for the weekend, and I read what I had planned to read. I feel like I could have read a little more, but I don't ever want to force myself to read. It's supposed to be fun, and I want to keep it that way.

1948 was really good, I gave it 5 out of 5 stars. I might write a review for this later this week, or maybe next week, so stay tuned for that.

Resurrection was not that good. It was okay, and good enough that I read it in about two days, but not great or anything. There was too much going on, and it tried a little too much. The surprises weren't that surprising, and the cliffhangers were mostly just stupid. The idea for the story was good, but I really didn't enjoy how it was written. 2 out of 5 stars.

It was a very interesting first read-a-thon, one really great book and one not so great. Next time, maybe I'll do a week-long one.
