The fun has begun! And so has the first mini challenge!
Where are you reading from today?
I am reading from home in Wisconsin where it is a summerlike day...I may be doing some reading outside
3 facts about me …
I love pomegranates..anything pomgeranate flavor and I have to try it.
I love my coffee...the day doesn't start without it!
I brake for squirrels...okay that one is lame but I am trying to get back to reading
How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?

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 be happy getting two books finished but would be really happy if I finished more.
If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time?
This is my third readthon I believe...my advice would be to have a template for updates and get up and move around once in awhile. I read on the treadmill at some point to keep from getting too achy. Most all...HAVE FUN! Let the fun begin!
(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.
I can chant
