#readathon: 12 hours!

I finished Patient Zero… awesome. Took me longer because I kept stopping to think about which of these characters are in the YA Rot & Ruin series I’ve already read. I need to go back and read the last book again, I think. Lol

So — 962 pages, so far (I’ve been reading Bleak House off and on a bit, too.) Moving on to graphic novels and children’s non-fiction/poetry from the Cybils shortlist.

I’ve eaten all of the foods… more pimento cheese, some brie & fig wonton things. Some sort of mushroom phyllo things. ALL the foods.

Now I’m off to cheerlead a bit (and do a little work since I am working today.)

Read on!

Updated: I forgot about the mid-event survey so here are my answers:

1. What are you reading right now? — Still reading Bleak House, moving on to graphic novels, children’s poetry and non-fiction.
2. How many books have you read so far? — I’ve finished two.
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon? — If I have some energy, I’m going to read a book written by a friend. It’s called Winter: Cricket & Grey.
4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day? I couldn’t free up the whole day, I’ve had to pull spam for work off and on all day.
5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those? Nothing big — a grouchy teen and the spam pulling. 15 minutes or so every couple of hours.
6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far? I’m more tired than in past years — I blame the puppies and the kids.
7. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? No, it’s awesome.
8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year? Eat less, haha.
9. Are you getting tired yet? I’m very tired.
10. Do you have any tips for other Readers or Cheerleaders, something you think is working well for you that others may not have discovered? It’s working great for me to have my home page set up to open Dewey, the cheerleading page, etc. I’m glad I thought to do that yesterday.
