Current local time: 11:15 AM PST
Estimated time spent reading since 5 AM: 4 hours.
I was away from reading for over an hour starting around 6:30 AM (showered. got dressed, walked the dog), and have taken shorter breaks (5-10 minutes at a time) throughout the morning, including checking in on Twitter.
Pages read: 282
I don’t usually track that, but it seems appropriate to the occasion.
Book completed: Love the One You’re With, by Emily Giffin (I started it on Wednesday and was on page 60 at the time the Read-a-thon kicked off)
What now?
- Return visits from cheerleaders and visit a few other Read-a-thon participants at their blogs
- Make notes for review of Love the One You’re With
- Get back to reading again within the hour!
What to read next?
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
What’s after that?
- Another update post in a few hours
- Possible change of reading venue (taking my book to Starbucks)
- Hoping my husband and the kids are enjoying their day out and about in LA (they went to Universal CityWalk, and may go out to Santa Monica later – it’s a beautiful day, and I’m in the house reading!)
How’s YOUR Read-a-thon going?

Congrats on finishing your first book! And The Hunger Games is a perfect choice for readathon.
I'm an unofficial cheerleader, dropping in on the friends in my reader. I've been following your tweets, too.
sheesh. I sound like a stalker. I'm not trying to be one!
Carrie K – Thanks! I'm just getting started on The Hunger Games.
Susan – You don't sound at all like a stalker to me, and Read-a-thoners can use all the cheering they can get!
I have Demo Tapes 2 in the stack for later on…just FYI :-).
The Hunger Games is great!
Hope all is going well now that we are into the 8th hour of the Read-a-Thon π This is Louise cheering from Copenhagen, Denmark…

You are doing great. I got a little thrown off schedule this am, but Iβm back on track now. Keep up the good work!
I will surely need a nap a bit later unless, I walk around the house constantly until I fall over from exhaustion…LOL
