My blog has been bare bones for a while now, and now that my home remodeling project is just about complete I'm very ready to build more book-blogging-friendships. What better way than through a readathon? This weekend happens to be a rare low-key weekend for me: perfect timing.
I pulled out a bunch of possibilities for reading material, focusing on lighter reading as well as a few I need to get read sooner rather than later (a couple pre-reads for my 11yo, and my next book club pick).
Since the readathon officially began at 5am Pacific Standard Time, an ungodly hour for a long-awaited Saturday, the first part of my day went like this:
Hour 1: sleep
Hour 2: wake up and go back to sleep
Hour 3: sleep
Hour 4: sleep
Hour 5: wake up and speed through an R.L. Stine book
Now heading into Hour 6, it's time for me to make some coffee and get serious about settling into a book. And charging my laptop.
I'll be balancing out my first read with the new Indiespensable pick from Powell's Books: Did You Ever Have a Family by Bill Clegg. So far, (just barely into it,) I'm enjoying my first readathon!

ReplyDeleteYeah! I'm glad you joined. I'm doing pretty well with The Warden by Trollope. I had to take 2 hours off to help an elderly lady to the bank. It took 2 hours. :/ But, I've made good progress for me.
