We’re sad to see it end, but it’s been a super fun 3 weeks for Reanna and I! I’m pleased (and astounded) by how many people signed up and participated. It was great hearing your feedback about the challenges and seeing your progress, and I’ve had a few people say we should do it again next summer. I definitely agree with that! I just want to take a moment to thank all of YOU for making this readathon so much fun. You guys are awesome!!
And a very special thanks to my lovely co-host for making this possible. THANK YOU! Thank you for everything you did and for putting up with my crazy OCD. You’re amazing, lady!! <33
I’m going to give my final 3 week wrap up for my progress, and I definitely encourage you guys to do the same…we’d love to see how you did!

Sadly I did not meet my goal, but I’m trying not to look at it as failure because I still read more books in 3 weeks than I usually read in a month!
If you made a final progress post, leave your link so we can see how you did!!
Wow! You did pretty great. : ) Lots of sequels and some of my most anticipated future releases (3:59!!!) I didn’t do /as well/ as I’d hoped but still pleased. Thank you so much for hosting – it was a blast!

Ahh you made such awesome progress! Even if you didn’t meet your goal at least you read a lot at that’s always fantastic news, right? :)
I’m glad that this readathon went so well and was so fun! I’m kind of sad I didn’t join in even though I would’ve had no time sigh D:
Good job Jessi! You actually did way better than me!! :D I think I got in 6 or 7 books? Haha. I’m glad you read some awesome ones! This was so much fun!! I’ll do a wrap-up soon and link that in! <3333 Inky
You read more than I did. Great job, Jessi! Oh look at that, we both read Not a Drop to Drink during the readathon. My wrap-up post is up already.

I think as long as you’re happy with what you read then it’s a success. Thanks so much for hosting and I can’t wait for next year!
