"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."

Readathon Update Hour 5
Reading Now: Some amalgamation of The Revisionists by Thomas Mullen, Clarity by Kim Harrington, and Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman (Indeed I am fraught with indecision.)
It's been __67__ pages and __5__ cheers since my last update.
Total Cheers:5
Cumulative Pages Read:67
Books Completed: 0
Eating?: Raspberry Jam and PB toast for breakfast. Then a couple of those aforementioned salted caramel chunk cookies. More recently a couple of fun sized candy bars. Methinks it may be time for something salty.
Okay, yeah, so I'm off to a stellar start. My computer mysteriously restarted itself while I was working on the kick-off meme. After that I was interrupted ad nauseum. Shortly thereafter I decided that The Revisionists, while a very promising read in general, is probably not a good Readathon book. Then I pored over my YA-filled Kindle for a while until I chose Clarity by Kim Harrington and read about 40 pages of that. I think it'll work for the rest of my day probably, so I'm letting Kindle charge while I update and check in with all the unfortunate souls I'm supposed to be cheering for.
I swear, I will get this train back on track, right after I hunt down something salty to eat. And I'm totally going to take a picture to put in my next update.
*wanders off distractedly*
Keep up the great reading, readers!

Good luck for the rest of the day, fellow cheerleader. Have fun! :)
Sorry you had such a bad start! I woke up late and then didn't even start reading until hour 7, so I feel you! But you're off to a great start! Good luck, we can do this! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been taking naps through the day and I am pretty sure I am going to take an actual break for dinner with my family. Read when you can and just have fun. #teambear
