1. What are you reading right now?
2. How many books have you read so far?
Three; two children’s books and one audio-book
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?
I’m really hoping to finish up Promise Not to Tell before I eventually pass out
4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day?
Well I tried to make it a family fun day but my daughter was not as into it today as she was yesterday… Mostly I just tried to fit in as much reading time as possible with my free time I had.
5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?
I had to go grocery shopping so I took my iPod and listened to the Are You There, Vodka? audio-book while I shopped. It worked awesome even though I did laugh out loud a few times and probably looked like a crazy woman laughing to herself in the cereal aisle…
6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?
I am actually really enjoying trying to read on a schedule! I didn’t think i would enjoy it but it’s kind of nice to have an end point in mind for a book.
7. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
Well the Read-a-Thon in general is pretty awesome; I am loving the hilarious blog posts!
8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year?
I need to plan it out better next year so that I don’t have a client project, a craft show and a Read-a-Thon all on the same weekend!
9. Are you getting tired yet?
Kind of but I’m going to try to work through it. Maybe another cup of coffee wouldn’t kill me…
10. Do you have any tips for other Readers or Cheerleaders, something you think is working well for you that others may not have discovered?
Having the mix of an audio-book and a physical book and going back and forth between them has been great. Plus the audio-book allowed me to get up, move around and get some other stuff done while “reading” the book!
Phew, it’s be a really fun day so far and I hope to have at least one more book to add to my finished list by tomorrow morning!
