24 hr. Read-a-Thon Wrap-up.

Hey Everyone! Well, while I planned to make up the hours I missed by sleeping in, I just have too much to do today, to be able to do so. So I am wrapping it up! While I didn't spend any time with vampires and other supernatural creatures like I wanted to, I still enjoyed the choice of books I did go with. One being a tattered family, and the other a lady scandalized by a rake, with the ton buzzing about it the very next day. (My favorite pass-time.) :p I didn't finish them last night, but I am quite sure I can finish at least one of them tonight.
So thanks to all of the lovely cheerleaders for stopping by, and I hope everyone enjoyed the Read-a-Thon as much as I did!

24 hr. Read-a-Thon (2)

I am taking a (short) dinner break. I say a short one because I have already taken a long unexpected break from reading, convinced to go to the mall and help pick out a birthday gift. Alas, shopping anywhere is my enemy.
Anyhoozer, considering my reading habits of late, the progress I have made is rather good. I'm about halfway through The Secret, but I think I will move to another book after dinner. And hopefully my distractions will be far less. (i.e.: my dog will be too full to move and/or bark so he'll be sleeping. & Everyone else will be getting tired.) So soon I shall have the peacefully quiet night to myself to stay and read until I pass out. If you've made it this far into my post, thanks for reading all my babble! :p
And thanks to the other cheerleaders who have stopped by!

24 hr. Read-a-Thon (1)

Finally. Well, I'm actually just able to start at 1 p.m. I actually ended up sleeping in until 11:30. I can't believe I slept that long! lol. What I'm actually going to do is go on through and not stop reading until 1 p.m. tomorrow, that way it will really be a full 24 hours like everyone else is doing, and I'll get the full fun feel of it. Wish me luck! And thanks to all the cheerleaders who have stopped by already! :)

Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon.

I just signed up for the 24 hour Read-a-Thon. & I can hardly wait to lock myself in my room and just read. But I am not going to start at my 5 AM start time, lol. I've had a tough week and I am sleeping in, then spending the rest of the day with vampires, witches, and werewolves.
I don't have a set reading stack for tomorrow. But I do know that I want to at least start the next Sookie Stackhouse book on my list, and also start the second volume of The Vampire Diaries. I'm almost sure I'll have only one library book left to read, since I'll probably finish The Smoke Thief tonight. (Also a library book.) It feels so good to look at the library stack and see that it is almost non-existent, after being there on my desk staring at me for so long!
Good luck to everyone else who is participating!
