Autumn Read-a-Thon 2013


Some years I devour books, some years... not so much.  This has been a slow year for me.
The last book I finished was in August.  I did read in September, but I didn't finish any books.

I'm signing up for Dewey's read-a-thon so I can perhaps make a little progress and get back into the habit of reading more often.

I will NOT be able to read for the whole 24 hours, but I pledge to read as much as possible (that is my only goal for this read-a-thon).   :-)

Hi - Just thought I would check in and see how the reading's coming along.

Haiku -

Read-A-Thons are fun
Snacks with books are dangerous
Read harder! Read More!

Hope you're still plugging away there on the books you have in mind for today.

A little inspiration to keep you in the pages!

“If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.”
― Oscar Wilde

Back again - just checking in. How's your stack coming along? Any favourite's that you'd like to mention?

I'm on Infinite Kung-Fu - not really a serious read, but nicely entertaining. :)

Another quote to keep you going:

“Reading is the sole means by which we slip, involuntarily, often helplessly, into another's skin, another's voice, another's soul.”
― Joyce Carol Oates

I'm making my way around again - seeing who's still hanging on and who's been reasonable and actually gone to sleep. :)

Went for walk? - Check
Had a Shower? - Check
Yawned a billion times? - Check

A quote reasonable for this hour.::grin::

“Sleep is good, he said, And books are better.”
― George R.R. Martin

My last reply for the event. Congrats on all the reading you did! We didn't really stay up for the whole thing as we wanted to, but some of us made it to about 3 in the morning.

Hope to see you again next year! Happy reading. :)
