I’m having fun! I like how this challenge allows for breaks to blog and read other people’s posts and participate in reading challenges. The time is flying by! I have decided not to go to the wedding reception as the winds have really picked up here and the sky is dark and threatening thunder/lightening. The fear that we will get more lightening strikes and fires; and that the fires burning around us (although contained right now) could flare up, makes us want to stick close to home. The good news is that it means I can read more!
= Excellent
= Good/Very Good
= Okay read
= Not recommended
= Ugh! Don't waste your time.
I know, I can hardly believe I’ve been reading for this long already! I feel like once the hour gets late, visiting other participants will help keep me sane.
I have the house at midnight in my TBR! Enjoy your reading!
Raych: I know what you mean! When I get tired of reading, it is great to visit other people!
Amy: I’ll look forward to reading your thoughts on it!
Congrats on being reader of the hour! Have fun!
Oooooh, I didn’t know I was the reader of the hour! I guess I need to check my google reader
Wow! I am impressed you finished a book AND wrote a review:) Happy reading!
I skipped a few events this weekend in favor of the readathon, as well. :p
I’m glad that you’re having fun. Happy readings!
I am with you I love the fact that people are cheering us on and that we can blog for others too!!
It seems like today is a record setting day for blog traffic!! Good luck with the lightning.
YAY – keep at it!
I’m glad you’re having fun, Wendy!
Yeah, your one of the readers of the hour. I have also decided to read a couple of short stories this hour. They are a nice break after finished a novel.
Happy Reading!
I find myself enjoying reading the blogs as much as reading the books. I’m afraid I’ll miss a good book suggestion or an idea!
Enjoy your short story! Happy Reading!
I like how the read-a-thon is set up too!! And I’m still crossing my fingers for you about those fires.
Keep up the great work!
Reader of the Hour surprised me, too! Congrats! And enjoy the extra reading time you’ll get, not going to the reception. Oh, and thanks for the reminder! I had meant to read some short stories, too!
This is such an awesome read-a-thon…I have been having so much fun!!!!
Congrats on your reading thus far…keep up the great work!!!!
Seems to be scary weather everywhere tonight….I’ve heard a little thunder now and then here….You are doing great!
Bummer that it’s too scary to go out – but yay for having more read-a-thon reading time! Color me impressed, too, that you managed to sqeeze in the review of the book you finished along with all the reading/reading updates and the visiting other people and the mini-challenges! Keep up the great reading!
Time does fly when you’re having fun, no?
What an organized update! My updates are just rambles, and are bound to get more rambly and incoherent later, when sleep deprivation sets in!
Time is flying by isn’t it!! I’m glad you’re having a good time and congrats on finishing a book already! I look forward to your thoughts on the short stories. (Trish from Trish’s Reading Nook–I think there was some confusion before with the comments you responded to)
House of Midnight sounds intriguing. I admire you for taking the time to write a review.
