Well it seems to be an unseasonably warm day in Wales today, which means that everyone has decided to go outside. This means that shopping for groceries and whatnot takes significantly longer than anticipated, and as such, I've not managed much reading.
I'm currently reading Feast of Souls by Celia Friedman. I've already read about 100 pages prior to this challenge, and since the challenge began I've read 31 pages (a poor effort I think). I've been reading on the bus whilst traveling back to the house, so there's not been much time. I'll more than make up for that though.
Here's a shout out to a few fellow bloggers who are taking part:
Ruby Loves Adventure
Katrina's Reads
Best of luck to you, guys!
This is also my entry into the first mini challenge:
Where are you reading from today?
Swansea, Wales
3 facts about me:
I was born with 6 toes on my left foot
I once had an imaginary pet monkey named Chichi
I can both read and write ancient Egyptian.
How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?
5 books altogether (see the tab above for my list).
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)?
I'd like to finish at least 2 books and post reviews of them before the day is out. Other than that, just read as much as damn possible! Plus I hope to make some new acquaintances on here.
Well, best get back to reading, got a lot to catch up on!
If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, Any advice for people doing this for the first time? This is my first time, but the best advice I'd give is that coffee is now your new god.
Page total: 31 pages.
Good luck with your reading today, I didn't even attempt to go into town today, the sunny weather brought out everyone - and lots of pasty legs - here in Essex yesterday.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Readathoning!
ReplyDeleteI once had an imaginary boyfriend named Todd. I made the mistake of telling my daughters and my actual boyfriend about him. They will never let me forget about him now.
Good luck! And Wales... ::jealous::
ReplyDeleteOh wow, 24 hours straight? I don't think my brain could handle that. I'm impressed. And the fact that you can read Egyptian is very cool. I'm going to try to learn a little bit this summer.
ReplyDeleteOh! And thanks for commenting over on my blog :)
