"She has spent most of the day reading and is feeling rather out of touch with reality, as if her own life has become insubstantial in the face of the fiction she's been absorbed in."

Read-a-thon Hour 3 Update
Reading Now: Sparrow Road by Sheila O'Connor
It's been __86__ pages and __89__ reading minutes since my last update.
Total Time Spent Reading: 1 hour 29 minutes
Cumulative Pages Read: 86
Books Completed: 1 - Blind Faith by Ellen Wittlinger
Eating?: Bowl of cereal, pack of peanut butter crackers, 1 glass orange juice, 1 glass water
Blind Faith is the book I've been reading all week, so I only had those 86 pages to go when I started the Readathon this morning. I kind of like this starting with a book already in progress. I didn't have to waste time getting over the hump in terms of introductory chapters before you get into the meat of the story. It definitely gave me a boost at the start!
I enjoyed Blind Faith quite a bit. It's a good story about dealing with death, figuring out what to believe, and how to be what the people around you need sometimes. It even had me almost crying a couple times, which is a good thing, but maybe not for the Readathon because almost crying always makes me a little sleepy.
Now for a bit of cheerleading, and then onto the next book! Happy reading!

Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI'm also a big fan of starting the read-a-thon with a book in progress. It makes me feel so accomplished when I finish it relatively quickly!
