Challenge 1: Hour 1 QuestionsWhere are you reading from today? home sweet home, and probably mostly on my couch, on my bed and at my desk.
3 facts about me …
I'm a stay-at-home mom
I am a young grandma
I love to read, write, play guitar and listen to music
How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?
Six, one of which I have already read three-quarters of the way through
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)?
not to stress how much/or how little I am reading! I want to enjoy the day. I would like to get through at least 3 of my books though.
If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time?
I am by no means a veteran as this is only my 2nd read-a-thon. The only suggestion I have is to keep track of your reading somehow. It can be so much easier if you have some sort of a spreadsheet or template to use. I picked one up at Fyrefly's Book Blog. Should make things a whole lot easier!
On to reading! Good luck to everyone participating.
Hope you're having fun with your reading!
ReplyDelete(Non)traditional Buddhist readathon blessing:
ReplyDeleteJust as the books fill the shelves,
Pile together on the floor and stack up on the table
So may the joy of the readathon
Flow forth to brighten your day and lift your spirit.
Books already read, books in progress and books yet to be read.
By the power of every word on the page
May your book be delightful,
As scary as Lovecraft’s Cthulhu
Or as sweet as a box of See’s candy.
Let the power of the images evoked by words
Keep you stay awake long through the night
May no obstacle impede
Your day filled with books.
For all of those who are reading today
Who follow in the path of Dewey
May your day be filled with the four blessings
Of fabulous books, tasty snacks, comfy chairs and joy.
