That was such a great time! I got more reading done than the June read-a-thon, too, which felt great. I sacrificed the second half of Day 22’s reading time to getting my Camp NaNoWriMo project completed and checking in at the Willamette Writer’s Conference, which I am volunteering at this weekend.
My final count, as of midnight on 31 July 2014, was:
- 61 pages from Detection by Gaslight: 14 Victorian Detective Stories by Douglas Greene [Ed.]. Notes: no update.
- 26 pages from On Looking: Eleven Walks with Expert Eyes by Alexandra Horowitz. Notes: no update.
- 150 pages of A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Notes: finished.
- 141 pages of The Sign of the Four by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Notes: finished.
- 295 pages of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Notes: no update.
- 232 pages of Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel. Notes: finished.
- 111 pages of Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present by Harriet Washington. Notes: this is such a hard read, but I’m learning lots. I totally have to put it down mid-sentence to steel myself for the next topic, though…
- 100 (manuscript) pages of my friend’s WIP. Notes: finished.
- 136 pages of The Seven-Per-Cent Solution by Nicholas Meyer. Notes: finished the paper, but didn’t re-read the whole book.
Final page count: 1,252
