So yeah, I didn't make it through the whole 24 hours of the Read-a-thon. Quelle surprise. I started watching North by Northwest with some Twitter people and after 2 hours thought, "Hell, this is a long movie. I'm going to bed." I couldn't drag myself out of bed this morning to read anymore either.
So my reading stands at 2 books read (half a graphic novel).
I did want to tell you that I bought some books at the library sale.
Our Village by Mary Russell Mitford
To the Lighthouse Virginia Woolf
The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
A Room with a View by E.M. Forster
The Reverse of the Medal by Patrick O'Brian
That's it for me. Peace out!
Great stash you got there! Enjoy your Sunday!
ReplyDeleteSome great choices there, I loved Remains of the Day, and To the Lighthouse is a real classic.
ReplyDelete2 books in one day is pretty darn good, if you ask me!
ReplyDeleteI didn't make any serious goals this year, so I was pleased with my 4 books read.
ReplyDeleteThat's a terrific pile you found at the library sale!
ReplyDeleteLovely book finds--and congrats on your read-a-thon accomplishments. We are taking it real easy here today--

I'm jealous of your buys! You've made me want to rewatch North by Northwest-- just not when I'm too tired!
ReplyDeleteI didn't see North by Northwest until some time last year - terrific movie, but you do have to be pretty alert and attentive (i.e. not tired) when you watch it!
ReplyDeleteI made it through two books during Readathon too - I'd hoped for a little more, but I really liked them both, so it's not too bad.
I made it through 18 hours, but I couldn't make it any farther. You did great!
ReplyDeleteGood pile of books -- enjoy!
