And we've passed the midway point, so the mid-event meme!
1. What are you reading right now? Mostly The Future of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler
2. How many books have you read so far? I've finished one, but I didn't read all of it today.
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon? I'm not sure how much of the second half of the Read-a-thon I'll be awake for, but really I'm just hoping to finish at least one of the books I have started - The Future of Us and Dear Bully
4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day? Not really. And I didn't quite free up the *whole* day...
5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those? Hmmm, my mom interrupted me to chat this morning just when I was getting started. I yelled at her but ended up chatting anyway. Then there was a quick trip to Pumpkinpalooza where I soothed my anguish at stepping away for the Read-a-thon by eating lots of yummy food
6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far? I don't know why, but I'm always surprised at how little I manage to get read in a very long time. Newsflash - Read-a-thon day doesn't actually make you a faster reader.
7. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? The Magic 8 Ball says "Ask again later."
8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year? I think maybe next time I won't read, and I'll just sign up to cheer. I love the reading, but I like to feel more connected to the internet-y goings on, too!
9. Are you getting tired yet? Not really. I may have had a short power nap this afternoon that got me back on track!
10. Do you have any tips for other Readers or Cheerleaders, something you think is working well for you that others may not have discovered? Nothing I can think of off the top of my head!
Cheering you on for the second half of the RAT. Hope you get in a few more hours of reading!
ReplyDeleteWHAT is Shoofly pie?! And yes, over the past few readathons I've been finding myself online more than with a book. For me that's the excitement. I blame twitter. Evil twitter.
ReplyDeleteDid you decide on a book? Hope so!!
Looks like you're doing great, Megan! Thanks for stopping my blog earlier. Hope you're having fun (and still awake!)
ReplyDeleteI love the title of I Carry You Back To Me!
ReplyDeleteIn case you're still up fighting the good #readathon fight:
You're eyes are sleepy,
but your fingers keep turning,
I'll supply the cheer,
to keep your readathon fire burning!
Team Lucky
You have done well. Keep it up!
