Read-A-Thon Update #1 (3 hours in)

readathonbutton

Current selection: Last Night in Twisted River by John Irving. Getting ready to eat a snack and then begin The Last Song for #IHeartTheSpark, coming at you live at noon EST.

Time spent reading: 3 hours, 5 minutes

Page count so far: 128. Irving is wonderful but requires slow, careful reading.

Books Finished: None yet. Irving is an ongoing project.

How’s it hanging? So far, so good.  3 hours of uninterrupted reading time is quite a luxury.

Etcetera:I’m getting hungry, but hubby just got up, so I’m going enlist him to make some brunch. The dog is cooperating (and by that, I mean she’s snoozing happily beside me, instead of causing trouble); my spot on the couch is still comfy; and I’m feeling groovy.  Keep it coming!

    If they were here

    Bronte, Tolstoy
    Thoreau, Albee
    They think you’re swell
    And I agree

  2. Glad to see you went with the Irving… Have fun reading Sparks!

  3. Awesome. Have fun and I hope all goes well throughout the day.

  4. Love your Last Song tweets…I really don’t think I could get through it without lots of gagging!

  5. You’re doing great – keep it up!

  6. Hope all is going well now that we are into the 6th hour of the Read-a-Thon :) Still cheering from Copenhagen, Denmark…

  7. I’m digging the #IHeartTheSpark stuff, but don’t let your brain get too mushy!

  8. Happy reading!

  9. There’s something to be said for curling up all day with a book that requires slow deliberate reading but it does lower the page count (and it might make HearttheSpark that much more dreadful). Glad you’re enjoying it!
