Final update.
Somewhere along the way, I did the math wrong for number of pages read. I was off by 84 pages. The error probably occurred when I was reading Catching Fire. I may have even misread a page number due to the font Scholastic used for the book — zeros had a slash through them and if you looked too quickly, they looked like 8s.

Wrap-Up:
This turned out to be a great event for me. I didn’t think I was going to do well because I was only reading a few hours a day, and I didn’t read for two days there in the middle. I think I enjoyed this more than the 24 hour read-a-thon. Had I not skipped a few days, I would have read over 24 hours and I could have finished one more book.
I put aside Bespelling Jane Austen in favor of reading Christmas-themed books, so I still feel I met my goal. I was more concerned with finishing the other two books. Bespelling Jane Austen is an anthology, so I can pick it up again at any time to read the other stories.
I would definitely participate in more of this type of read-a-thon in the future.
