I'm a bit antsy about what books I choose to read close to bedtime; Dracula definitely wouldn't make my shortlist because it's so atmospheric (but I did really enjoy it, when I read it in full daylight!), so I can understand why you'd find that an awkward choice if your read-a-thon-ing time is in the evenings. Good to know that Small Island reads quickly: that one's on my list. I found that The Tiger's Wife wasn't a really quick read either, but I have a habit of choosing slow-moving novels for read-a-thons and then wondering why I've not read as much as I thought I would! Glad you had fun with it all though!
Oooh, I can definitely see Dracula giving me trouble sleeping as well! I started it a year ago, but of course got distracted by something shiny. :) Yay for read-a-thons!

You did great! I have Tiger's Wife and Small Island in my home library. I've heard both are excellent. Yeah, I know all about heavy reading. I was reading Anna Karenina. LOL!
Thank you for joining me and I hope you will be with us again for FrightFall in October.
Dracula is on my TBR list for this year, but I'm going to listen to the audiobook.
Congrats on all the reading you got done!! Over 750 pages is a lot!
You did great! I finished one whole book and finished a book I had already started reading. I also started another book. I'm getting there LOL!
