Starting the Readathon

Today is the Read-a-thon!

Where are you reading from today?

my home

3 facts about me …
I love reading.
I love blogging.
I am NOT a morning person.
How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?
I haven't made a separate pile for the read-a-thon. Yet. But I'm hoping to read from some of my library books. Namely Behemoth by Scott Westerfeld, Inside Out by Maria Snyder, and especially Fahrenheit 451 graphic novel. I'll also be reading some of my own books.

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)?
I'd love to read 1,000 pages. 

If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time?
Remember it's about enjoying books--not rushing through them. So if you're not enjoying a book--even if it's oh-so-short--put it aside. Find a book that you really, really want to read. Loving what you are reading will keep you motivated.

  2. Oh the places you will go today
    The people you will meet
    Your books will be your gateway
    Adventure your retreat.

    And if I may, I’ll follow
    As you read and read so more
    Until this day turns to the morrow
    Cheering you on with a loud exuberant roar!

    Best wishes all day through

  3. Wow, I'll have to find a copy of the Fahrenheit 451 graphic novel! I've never read the original book, it intimidates me, but that might be a good place to start.

    *shakes her pom-poms*

    You've got some great goals there, keep reading and have fun!
