24 Hour Readathon: 4 hours to go!


A few more hours to go for this October’s 24-Hour Readathon. Just clocking in to let you know how I’m doing before I do my wrap-up later on.

I read two books last night, but the novel got a bit too scary for me so I took it up to bed around 1am and switched on the reading light. It was a shivery-good tale and so I crawled under the blankets and that was a mistake, because I was snoring soundly until 9 am! The light was still on this morning but the batteries had gone kaput! And then I had to read like a maniac until hour 20 to make up for it!

24-Hour Readathon: The Reading List

I was bummed to have missed last April’s 24-Hour Readathon, so I resolved to join today’s readathon. I’ve joined a couple of readathons in the past and they’ve always been a lot of fun, and I didn’t want the year to end without at least one readathon.

24-hour read-a-thon is an event mounted in memory of Dewey, a blogger and a reader who started the event in October 2007. Dewey passed away in November 2008, and the 24-hour read-a-thon is continued by those who’ve helped Dewey organize the past read-a-thons, and hundreds of book bloggers in the world.

I spent most of the day today in line to see the 17th century galleon replica, the Galeon Andalucia at the South Harbor, and when I got home, I spent the first hour of the readathon starting my first book.

This is a bit delayed, as the read-a-thon officially ended at 8pm (Philippine time) last night, but my internet was on the fritz for the weekend and I couldn’t even post a midway update.

It was a tough weekend for me as I was up late the night before working on a painting, and then I was out all day for several meetings (I had to read through one of them) until I got home past midnight.  And then I was going to update, but found out I didn’t have an internet connection at home!

I’d like to thank all those who dropped by to wish me well on the reading, though, even though I didn’t have any updates posted. Cheers to all the readers and cheerleaders, and hope to see you again on the next read-a-thon!
