We’re getting pretty close to halfway through the readathon! I have to say, my relaxed outlook on the entire thing has made the experience much more enjoyable! After each book read, I take an hour break to watch tv, spend time with my boys, refuel, etc. I don’t feel the pressure to keep reading non-stop. Taking breaks are good!
Progress so far:
- Currently reading: The Mark by Jen Nadol
- Books finished: 2 (Veracity by Laura Bynum & Evil at Heart by Chelsea Cain)
- Total Pages read: 615
- Amount of time spent reading: 6 hours (give or take!)
- Mini-challenges completed: 0
- Other participants I’ve visited: 60
- Snacks: Half a donut (breakfast), grapes, pretzel rods, grilled cheese for lunch. Jellybeans for afternoon snack. Hamburger for dinner.
Ok! Back to reading! I won’t be posting again til the end of the readathon, so check back to see my final totals!

Just stopped here to leave a cheer – “Rock on, Readathon-er!”
A relaxed approach looks like it’s working for you! Happy reading

I’m taking a break too. I like your plan. I had jellybeans too, Mike and Ike ones! Have fun and keep reading!
Wow you are doing so well. 2+ books in 6 hours. I’m impressed! =) Keep up the good work. And I agree, breaks are a good thing. I think I feel another one coming on.
You are doing really well. I find that I don’t read that much when I do read-a-thon. I think I spend the majority of my time posting. Taking a break from it this Spring but I wanted to stop by and say Hi!
You’re doing great! I definitely agree about the breaks. I take a break when I feel I need one or keep reading when I don’t need one. Happy reading!
I love the relaxed approach! No pressure, just fun. Read, walk, eat, watch TV, it’s all good!

Great job on the reading! Can’t wait to see your reviews. I enjoyed The Mark but thought Veracity was just ok.
