Hour 3 Check In
I'm just taking a break for waffles. I'm lucky that my husband makes waffles every weekend. So at least one meal is taken care of for the Read-a-thon.
How are you all doing? I'm close to finished Prisoner of Dieppe which is a quick and interesting read about a young man's experience in World War II.
A couple of other things:
Andi's Mini-Challenge Hour 3.
A six word celebration of the Read-a-thon. I'm not very good at this but here's mine:
Today we read like a mother!
Hour 1 Challenge Questions:
Where are you reading from today? Specifically various couches in my house. Generally, Nova Scotia, Canada/
3 facts about me … Oh man, never good at the facts... 1. I love waffles. 2. I love fuzzy socks. 3. I love coffee. (Sounds like a elementary school project! I'm not up for deep thoughts.)
How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours? I have 5 books and 2 audiobooks lined up.
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)? Nope, just read as much as I can. When things get tough, visit blogs and Twitter.
If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time? Pick short books, take breaks, occasionally talk to humans.
I love special readathon breakfasts! Jason made us breakfast tacos this morning, mmm...

Fuzzy socks rock for sure. And I'm much more of a pancake person, me thinks. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree--I always try to tweet or bloghop when the reading is hard.
ReplyDeleteHope you have an awesome reading day! I'll be back around later.
And hope you enjoyed your waffles! Yum!
Love your answer for the mini-challenge! Keep reading!

I thought I'd still stop by and cheer you on:
ReplyDeleteWe love Bronte,
Austen too!
We love reading!
How about you?

A thought to mull over: “The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts.” -- John Greenleaf Whittier
