The Disney Read-A-Long Wrap-Up!

Hi all! 

Today I will be sharing my wrap-up for The Disney Read-A-Long. I had so much fun partaking in this readathon. Thank you to the TinyBookDragon for hosting! If you wish to learn more about the challenges and my TBR, click here.

I am not providing in-depth book reviews, as they will be featured in my May 2018 Reading Wrap-Up. Instead, I decided to document my progress per day. I hope you enjoy! 

SUNDAY, MAY 6th 2018

The first day of the readathon was very successful. I completed Cinderella by The Brother’s Grimm (24 pages total), which satisfied Challenge #5. I borrowed the entire bind-up of fairy-tales from Overdrive. As mentioned here, I recently watched the animated version, so I didn’t feel the need to watch it again. 

I spent most of Sunday attending a family event. Nevertheless, when I got home, I read 74 pages of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (20th Anniversary Illustrated Edition) by J.K. Rowling

MONDAY, MAY 7th 2018 

On Monday, I was quite busy with errands, which made me incredibly tired. By the time I was done, I napped away the afternoon. I was only able to read 106 pages of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. I had been hoping to finish it but at 33 weeks of pregnancy, I’m finding myself exhausted by the smallest of tasks. 

TUESDAY, MAY 8th 2018 

Today I was super busy. Francis and I got our flu-shots, went grocery shopping and attended a funeral. Afterward, we ate dinner with our family. Still, I’m proud to say when I got home, I completed (66 pages total) Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, therefore satisfying Challenge #1

WEDNESDAY, MAY 9th 2018 

On Wednesday, I ran some more errands and finally got my hair cut. Once again, by the time I was ready to read, I fell asleep from exhaustion. I only managed to read 52 pages of Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde

THURSDAY, MAY 10th 2018 

On Thursday, I got right down to business. I read 210 pages, finishing Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde, which completed Challenge #2At this point, I was pretty happy with my progress, considering the circumstances. 

FRIDAY MAY 11th 2018 

Today was perfect reading weather. It was rainy, cold and miserable outside. I started Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. It is a gigantic book! I read a total of 101 pages. 

SATURDAY MAY 12th 2018 

Saturday was the last day of the readathon. I read as much as I could, but I did not finish Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi, as it is over 500 pages long. I read another 101 pages. 

Over the span of a week, I read a total of 734 pages, completing 3/5 challenges, which in my personal opinion, was a decent effort. I never got to start Undercover Princess by Connie Glynn (Challenge #3) or fully complete Challenge #4 but I still plan on reading both those books before the month is up. I hope you enjoyed this wrap-up. Thank you so much for reading. As mentioned earlier, please stay tuned for my end-of-month reviews. 

Peace & Love xoxo

  1. Congrats on doing the challenge Bec! This is such an amazing effort, and quite an achievement to read over 100 pages on some nights. The last time I read more than 100 pages a night was your second book 😀 Usually I am very slow with books and at most will read 50 pages a night and come back to it the next night or another time. Hope you are well my friend xxxxx

    1. Thank you my friend! It was a lot of fun 🙂 I’m so glad my book was the one that you couldn’t put down – makes me so happy! Hope you are well and see you very soon! Xxx
