reading a good book with a furchild by my side
It’s 11:00PM PCT which means I’ve reached 14 hours in the event. Vasilly has challenged participants to:
Find a poem and post it. The length of the poem does not matter.
My favorite poem of all time is Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken:
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And [...]
Here we are at the half way point. Wow, has this day gone by quickly. Dewey has posted the next mini-challenge – the Mid-Event Survey.
1. What are you reading right now? I’m still working my way through Springtime on Mars. I’ve got 60 pages left to read in this book.
2. How many books have [...]
Perhaps it is purely coincidence that the setting sun is a red-orange orb and I’m reading Springtime on Mars – or maybe it is just a reminder to keep on reading! The smoke in the sky has created a gorgeous sunset here and I’m closing in on 11 hours of the Read-A_Thon. I’m slowing [...]
I’ve passed the 8 Hour mark and although I’m a little tired, I’m still hanging in there. Dewey posted this mini-challenge:
This hour’s mini-challenge is something you may feel you really need about this point! I know I do. It’s to go outside for a walk! Get some fresh air. If you run or bike, [...]
Wow it is hard to believe we are now more than 7 hours into this event! Thank you to all who are leaving comments – I usually try to respond to every comment on my blog, but I must admit the sheer numbers are overwhelming me…so, please know I’m reading and appreciating your comments [...]
I am 6.25 hours into the Read-A-Thon and thought I’d give you an update on how I’m doing. Thank you to all the cheerleaders and readers who have stopped by and left comments! Here is my progress thus far:
Book I’m reading: I’m going to read a short story next…not sure which one!
Number of books [...]
And despite my best attempts to be rational, I was afraid. I could feel the house’s atmosphere, that eerie swirling in the corners of the room and the folds of the curtains and behind the furniture. It wasn’t explicit; there was no sudden breathless rush, sucking the air out and dragging the walls in [...]
The time is flying by. I’m nearly 3.5 hours into the Read-A-Thon and this is my third mini challenge. Vasilly has challenged participants to ‘Grab one of your favorite books and post one of your favorite quotes from it.’ This was a no-brainer for me.
The Book Thief, by Marcus Zusak is one of [...]
Nymeth is hosting hour 2 of the mini-challenges and has challenged participants to:
‘…take a break from your book and spend at least 10 minutes reading a webcomic. You can take this chance to catch up with an old favourite, discover new webcomics, or explore this storytelling medium for the first time.’
I don’t typically view [...]
And we’re off! The 24 Hour Read-A-Thon starts now: 9:00AM PCT. To start things off Darcie has posted the first mini-challenge which is a meme of sorts. There are two books up for grabs for participants who do this one and link back to Darcie. So here goes…
Where are you reading from today? I’ll [...]
