Still reading The Nine Lives of Chloe King. I'm a slow reader and the blogs have taken more time than I anticipated, so I started on page 37 this morning and am now on page 99. So thats... 62 pages? Also, I took some time out to shave my legs, because it just makes the reading experience better. Really.
So far I've tried every mini-challenge. They have actually been totally fun and I think they will be one of my favorite parts of the readathon. Because the reading all day thing.... just feels like normal. Not a bad thing at all.
I've tried to comment on one blog from the Mr. Linky's for each mini-challenge. I'm not an official cheerleader, but I'm all about reading. Someone posted a picture of biscuits. They were in a can, but still. I want the flaky, buttery goodness I know they will bake in to.

Sounds like you're making good progress! I'm a slow reader too. 62 pages sounds great to me! = )
ReplyDeleteAs long as you're reading you're doing great. :-) And a day of reading is just normal to you? Lucky! :-)

ReplyDeleteHave a great workout today :)
(Non)traditional Buddhist readathon blessing:
ReplyDeleteJust as the books fill the shelves,
Pile together on the floor and stack up on the table
So may the joy of the readathon
Flow forth to brighten your day and lift your spirit.
Books already read, books in progress and books yet to be read.
By the power of every word on the page
May your book be delightful,
As scary as Lovecraft’s Cthulhu
Or as sweet as a box of See’s candy.
Let the power of the images evoked by words
Keep you stay awake long through the night
May no obstacle impede
Your day filled with books.
For all of those who are reading today
Who follow in the path of Dewey
May your day be filled with the four blessings
Of fabulous books, tasty snacks, comfy chairs and joy.
