Somewhere in here I finished Forgotten Bookmarks which was wonderful but a bit hard to read with my tired eyes because of small print. I think I prefer the blog if only because I can increase the font size.
I also took a couple hour nap, started Killer by Jonathan Kellerman and paused to read a bit of relaxing fan fiction which has been my reading of choice since I've been depressed lately (Fan fiction works when my brain isn't up to following books because it is based on something I'm already familar with so doesn't require quite as much brain power for imagination)
So far I've read 3 books and 760 pages.
Hour 12
Ended up reading Nurk: The Strange, Surprising Adventures of a (Somewhat) Brave Shrew
Mid-Event Survey

Two
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?
Haven't decided yet.

Not really.
6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?
Found a children's book to read by looking at someone's blog. Didn't expect to find a different book than the ones I had already picked out but thanks to e-books I was able to read it today.

Nope
8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year?
Nothing that I can think of right now.
9. Are you getting tired yet?
Was since I got up way too early but I took a nap.

Nothing I can think of.
Hi! It is so cool to 'meet' another Elisa! Vernon manages to write books that are fun for kids but still manage to be really amusing for adults too. I am glad that you liked Nurk. Her graphic novel - Digger (which is for adults) is quite good too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning the graphic novel. I'm always trying to find a graphic novel to read during the read-a-thon but the traditional ones don't always work for me. I will definitely check Digger out for October. If it's half as good as Nurk it will be a winner!
