Today I am participating in Bethany’s Read. Read. Readathon. You can find out more here. Not too late to jump in!
It’s 11:31 and I’m starting off with Sarum. Maybe I’ll finish it today? We’ll see.
12:31 pm – I do not recommend reading books with tiny print for a readathon. It makes your reading totals look dismal. Taking a quick break for some laundry and to grab some lunch.
2:12 pm – Sarum was just not holding my attention for any length of time and the 8pt font wasn’t helping either. So I started a new book. No Country For Old Men. It’s been in my “to read” pile for a while and now I’m going after it. LOVE. IT. Fast paced and such great writing.
6:20 pm – So…I took a nap. Back to reading though! I’ve knocked out 110 pages of No Country For Old Men. Can’t wait to see the movie now.
7:28 pm – Reading in the bathtub. It’s the way to go. Oh, and I had some chocolate Malt-o-Meal earlier. I love that stuff. It’s like hot chocolate in a bowl. That you eat.
10:40 pm – I am turning in for the night. It’s been so much fun meeting and interacting with all the bloggers participating today. There are so many blogs I have added to my feed reader today and I just can’t wait to do this again! Goodnight, all!
Time spent reading: 260 mins
Total pages: 240 pages
Taking part in I Heart Monster’s Breaktime Shindig. I typed “Sindig” on accident, but fixed it. That’s a totally different thing.
- Lose Your Cred – I love the colors she uses on her blog! They make my heart smile. What a bright, cheery place.
- This Bookshelves of Doom lady? Hilarious. I mean, you can kinda gather that from the header. But yeah, I think she’s really funny.
- Okay, Emily says that we don’t have to take her too seriously, but there is just something about the header at Seriously Reading that makes me feel like I should. I’m loving the header. The red is so striking against the black and white. Hey, Emily? I don’t have anyone to talk books with either. Glad we both have outlets for that!
- tuulenhaiven has some awfully serene colors going on over at her blog. I love it.
- Brown Girl has got some clean lines going on and I LOVE clean lines. A sucker for them even.

For the last read-a-thon I read mostly YA books which are all printed in, I swear to you, 80 pt. font. Also, most of them are around 250 pages. I felt like a Reading Champion.
I think you are doing just fine. You have read more than I have
Keep on keepin’ on.
I love your blog, TONS.
Glad you’re enjoying it!
Your blog is so cute. You reminded me I have some hot chocolate and I think I might make some. Happy reading!
I’m turning in as well…good night!
You did a great job. Have a good night
I based my header on my favorite designer’s work (Barbara Kruger) — so glad I have someone new to talk books with! Enjoy the rest of your readathon!
Thanks for the link-love! Hope you’re still going strong. I’ve discovered that tiny print is also no good for late night reading – it all blurs together…!
You did a great job! Thanks for participating in the meme!
Congratulations, you did great! I’ve had No Country for Old Men on my stack for a while, so I’m glad to hear you’re really enjoying it. I hope you’re having sweet dreams!
