Even though I’m starting a little late and don’t plan to read the entire 24 hours, I’m still excited about Dewey’s Read-a-Thon and catching up on some reading today. And getting back into the habit of blogging. Here is my introduction post for anyone visiting from the Read-a-Thon site. Happy reading!
1)Where are you reading from today? My comfy reading in chair in my living room.
2)Three random facts about me…I love hockey, I’m going to London this fall and one of my favorite books is Vanity Fair by Thackeray
3)How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours? My goal is to read four Shakespeare plays because I’m behind in the reading I want to do before my London trip, a few chapters in The Story of Art for breaks, and Part 1 of Atlas Shrugged. My second tier books for if I can’t take that much Shakespeare in one day are Moby Dick (I’m halfway through and know I won’t finish today, but progress would be nice), The Anglophiles, Prince Caspian, By the Shores of Silver Lake, Reading Women, and Excellent Women. And I’ve got a whole slew of other books to choose from if I don’t get into those.
4)Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)? I mentioned my main goal above – the Shakespeare and Atlas Shrugged. I hope to read for about 8-10 hours, maybe more.
5)If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time? Don’t feel like you have to read the whole time to participate, or participate in every mini-challenge and update every hour. Then you’d spend more time blogging than reading! They are great for checking in when you need breaks though.
