I am super excited that I am able to participate in this one! Lately I've been working through most of a big chunk of the last few readathons (because they typically start in the morning) but this one will start 7pm (my time tonight!) I will still have work but I will stay up late tonight and also include Sunday into mine! My saturday shifts are broken up into two, so there's some in-between time to cram in some reading. I will be ingesting SO MUCH caffeine lol
Here's my stack:
I am of course already reading Prophecy and a book on my kindle (The House at the End of the World) but I think these selections (plus whatever is on my kindle) are a good grazing selection.
I will not make it all night long tonight but I am excited to get a good bit read.
I will most likely update in chunks of 1-2 hours a piece. I will only use this post to update.
Block 1 7pm-9pm
Book: The House at the End of the World by Dean Koontz (ebook)
Pages: Starting page: 153
Pages: Ending page: 272
Total Pages Read: 119 pages
Notes: Got coffee and water, will try to hold off on snackage til later for a little extra boost of energy.
I am loving this book. It didn't completely pull me in at first, but after it got going I was entranced. It's got that great mix of horror, human drama, science-y fiction and some humor that is just awesomeballs. I am a slow reader but I am clipping through this one pretty quickly. I may even finish it by the end of next block.
Block 2 9pm-10pm
Book: The House at the End of the World
Pages: Starting Page: 272
Pages: Ending Page: 342

Notes: I can't hang any longer, my eyeballs were starting to cross. I even tried a little shakey butt dancing to get my blood flowing, but alas. I am off to bed. I will get up early in the morning to resume reading.

Notes: Good morning! It's 6:25am CST here and I am wide awake, getting caffeinated, fed my furry children and have myself a breakfast cookie..okay it's just a normal cookie but it's breakfast time! So that counts! I'm working today so this first block is going to be pre-work, then I have a 10-12 shift then a 2 hour break (expect a block of at least 1 hour then) then it's 2pm-6pm. Afterwards I'm on full blast reading mode until Sunday evening.

Book: Prophecy
Pages: Starting page: 254
Pages: Ending page: 277

Block 5 7:30-9:30
Book: Prophecy
Pages: Starting page: 277
Pages: Ending page: 333
Total Pages Read: 56 pages
Notes: I am continuing my readathon into tomorrow. I won't be able to stay up all night tonight, but I will try to stay up as late as I can. Prophecy is very good, but I find myself reading slower when it's a fantasy novel. I think the descriptions are what slow me down a bit, everything in a fantasy novel is so vividly detailed, etc. I like to slow down and paint it all in my head.
Block 6 10-11pm

Notes: I've had a chill morning, but now I'm taking a short break to get some cleaning done. Sunday is my "get all the things" done day so I will condense all my wacky shenanigans into about an hour or so.
I will be back to read more.

I'm joining in too! I like that this one starts at night. I may steal your update idea...though I'm terrible at updating. lol My writing community is having their online writing retreat this weekend too so I'll probably join in on some sprints tomorrow. Good luck with your reading!
ReplyDeleteI am ridiculously excited (and caffeinated)!
