Readathon: Update #1: Hour 4

I’m “borrowing” the format of Readathon veteran, “Irish” from Ticket to Anywhere.  I’m altering it a bit to keep things short.

Progress Report:

  • Title of book(s) read since last update: Life as We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer
    • Thoughts on current read: Just finished Life as We Knew it.  Very heartbreaking and haunting tale.  I feel guilty snacking on cookies and pizza rolls after reading the struggle this family endured.
      • Number of books read since you started: 1 books
      • Pages read since last update: 337

      • Running total of pages read since you started: 337 pages
      • Amount of time spent reading since last update: 200 minutes
        • Running total of time spent reading since you started: 200 minutes
        • Location: Reading Chair
        • Snack Intake:
        • Breakfast: blueberry cake donut
        • Snack: cinnamon roll
        • Lunch: Pizza rolls

        I’ll be back in four hours!  You may have noticed I installed a twitter widget off to the left.  I am updating every hour on twitter and you can now see my updates without leaving my blog!

        Thanks to all the cheerleaders for your outstanding support!

          Austen, Hemingway
          Rushdie, Poe
          If they were here
          I’m sure they’d say hello

          Bronte, Tolstoy
          Thoreau, Albee
          They think you’re swell
          And I agree

          Hope all is going well now that we are into the 5th hour of the Read-a-Thon :) Cheering from Copenhagen, Denmark…

          PS. I LOVED Life as We Knew It and went straight out and got the second one in the Moon Crash Trilogy called the dead and the gone. You should read that as well.

          Life as we Knew it was such a good book! I really must read the second book in the trilogy!

          Hey there, looks like you’re doing great so far, the pizza rolls sound like a great snack. Send some over this way!

        5. Hmm, this book is in my pile and I’m not sure what I want to read next. Maybe I should grab it…

          Cheering you on from Florida – Happy Reading!!!

          I’m so glad you enjoyed Life as we Knew it. This book haunted me ever since I read it a few weeks ago! I completely get your feeling of guilt while snacking after reading it, too!

          Anyway, you’re doing great on the readathon! You make me wish I could join the fun! :D

          nice! And I love that format too. Have fun!

        9. Jodie says:

          Pizza rolls sound yummy, hope the readathon is still treating you well. Wonder what you’ll be eating hour 12…

        10. Alexia561 says:

          Congrats on finishing the book! And agree with Jodie that the pizza rolls sound yummy. Curious what book you’ll pick next? Enjoy!

        11. I know what you mean about reading a book involving deprivation and feeling guilty while doing it! But you’re doing great on the reading!
