It is now about 2:30 and I figured now is probably a good time to update! :)
I finished Book 4 a little before 2 and have been updating Goodreads, Twitter & chatting with some other participants, cheering them on. Now, I just need to finish this post and I'll be off to start book 5!
Book 1- Variant by Robinson Wells (started on 103/375)
Book 2- Kane Richards Must Die- Shanice Williams (272 pgs)
Book 3- Anya's Ghost- Vera Brosgol (221pgs, graphic novel)
Book 4- But I Love Him- Amanda Grace (252 pages)
So, it's just before hour 2 of the Read-a-thon and I just finished my first book! :) I figured now was a good time to do the little intro survey & stuff! :)
So-
1)Where are you reading from today?
Idaho
2)Three random facts about me…
I played both Flute and Tenor Saxophone in high school.
I am currently in love with puzzles.
I make some seriously delicious chocolate chip cookies.
3)How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?
Not a set number. I find it impossible to stick to a list, so really, it's however many I can read. I have my whole shelves to choose from. :)
4)Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)?
To read lots of books for the entire 24 hours. :) I think I'm going to set a tentative goal of 10 books... I think I can reach that, so here's hoping. :)
5)If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time?
Read books you WANT to read. Action-y books are good because they keep you interested and eager to read. Now is the PERFECT time for anyone not sure they want to read a verse novel because they read FAST. I can read 600+ pages in less than 3 hours. :)
As for my status- I have read:
most of Variant by Robison Wells (started on page 103/375)

I hope you reach your goal of ten books! I should slip a verse book by Lisa Schroeder. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a seriously impressive reading time! I'll be lucky if I manage 600 pages during the entire read-a-thon, haha.

ReplyDeleteNICE WORK! I'm starting Book 4 now - 3 books in the first 9 hours, but that's leaving me about 2 hours behind schedule. Grr. Shouldn't have made two coffee runs, lunch run, post office run, grocery run... and did I really need to take that shower? Psh.
ReplyDeleteWow, you're doing great! I've only finished one full book, a partial book, and a short story so far! Keep up the great reading!
