Design: From Flab to Fab
Megan contacted me for a little design for her blog - she was ready for a new look and a new name. She told me she loved chevrons and gave me a few colors she wanted to use and then she let me loose! I've been wanting to try a no-header blog design for a while. I really love the way it turned out.
Before
After
One of my favorite parts of the new design is her siggy!
Visit Megan's blog and see the design live!

You can see my book list and goals here! I'm ready to go! Woo :)
Friday 6/7
Current Book(s):
Pages Read: 6% to 47% (Obsidian - 118 pages) = 118 total
Books Finished: 0
Thoughts: 12PM Today has been pretty busy so far. I dropped of my son at school and got 30 minutes at home before having to turn right back around and go to his Kindergarten celebration. I've been trying to catch up on all the fun computer stuff I do daily before I get to my reading. I have read a teensy bit today though. I also did the Jigsaw Puzzle challenge. SO fun :) 4PM Did the Title Scramble challenge too
Saturday 6/8
Current Book(s):
Pages Read: 47% to 100% (Obsidian - 152 pages), 1 to 26% (Beautiful - 83 pages) = 235 total
Books Finished: 1
Thoughts: 8AM I slacked a little yesterday with so much going on (car problems, visiting a friend, 1/2 day of school plus a kindergarten celebration), but since today's plans aren't gonna work out (I'm not walking 5 miles with two kids in the rain and with the rain, the drive-in is a no-go)...we're gonna hang out indoors. 1PM I forgot to say that I participated in the song challenge yesterday too. Hoping to find a good song for Beautiful Disasters once I start reading. That meets my 3 challenge goal, so that's awesomesauce.
Sunday 6/9
Current Book(s):
Pages Read: 26% to 63% (Beautiful - 118 pages) = 118 total
Books Finished: 1
Thoughts: 9AM Curious to see where the second half of Beautiful Disaster goes. I stayed up entirely too late to read though lol
Monday 6/10
Current Book(s):
Pages Read: 63% to 100% (Beautiful - 118 pages), 1% to 62% (Walking - 302 pages) = 406 total
Books Finished: 2
Thoughts: 9AM I have some weird thing going on with reading 118 pages. Starting Walking Disaster and excited to read Travis' POV. Did the cover lover challenge today too! 10PM I may be able to finish Walking in what's left of today (fingers crossed). Picked another song out for the song challenge for Walking.
Tuesday 6/11

Pages Read: 62% to 100% (Walking - 186 pages), 1% to 38% (Apple - 134 pages), Storm - 3 pages = 323 total

Thoughts: 11AM Finished my 3rd book of the readathon and I'm going to start 2 more. Storm is going to take me a while to read, but I did want to start reading a few chapters a day anyways.
Wednesday 6/12
Current Book(s):
Pages Read: 38% to 66% (Apple - 98 pages) = 98 total
Books Finished: 3
Thoughts: 10AM Hoping to get more reading done today - finish book 4 and maybe knock out another book tomorrow (:

Current Book(s):
Pages Read: 66% to 100% (Apple - 116 pages), Storm - 23 pages, Love - 36 pages = 175 total
Books Finished: 4
Thoughts: 7AM Today's goal is to really get it. Yesterday I was lazy and didn't read as much as I wanted to. I really need to crack down today and read. 12PM Finished Apple Turnover Murder, starting Love the One You're With 9PM I still have 3 hours to read, but I'm turning off my computer. Will update in the morning with today's final page count :) Can't believe how well I've done during this readathon.
Friday 6/14
Current Book(s):
Pages Read: Love - 20 pages, Eleventh - 27 pages, Storm - 2 pages = 49 total
Books Finished: 4
Thoughts: 2PM Putting Love the One into my Did-Not-Finish pile. I'm 50+ pages in and it hasn't captured me yet. Gonna start Eleventh.
------------
Finish Line:
1522 pages read and 4 books finished. My original goal was 1556 pages and 4 books finished, but I'm just fine with what was accomplished :) I cannot wait for the Summer Lovin' Readathon (you can find a link to the sign up/info page on my sidebar!
