I must say, I had a lovely sleep. Unfortunately, it has left me with only an hour of reading time left. Oops. I will add though, that my dreams were full of references to A Tale for Time Being. It was as though spending all those hours reading it were not enough and it refuses … Continue reading Readathon Oct 2013: Hours 13-24

Pages read: 67% … Continue reading Readathon Oct 2013: Hours 7-9
Apart from dozing off a bit, I'm doing alright. Had some lunch, made by my fiance - yummy sandwiches and a packet of Worcester sauce crisps. The book I am reading is For the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki. It's on the Booker Prize shortlist 2013 and is about a woman in Canada who finds … Continue reading Readathon Oct 2013: Hours 4-6
I'm running a tad late for this readathon, but better late than never! I am spoilt for choice with books, and have a huge selection of ebooks and paper books to choose from. 1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? Sunderland, UK. From the comfort of my fiance's house. 2) … Continue reading Readathon Oct 2013 : Getting started! Hours 1-3
I really need to update more regularly. Ahem. It is that time of year again. It seems hardly a few weeks since the April 2013 Readathon, but it has in fact been months. Prizes have been delivered, and now it seems the next one is upon us. I've moved jobs since then. I happen to … Continue reading Coming Soon: Twenty-four Hour Readathon (October 2013 Edition)
It is after 1pm now. I can't quite believe it, but I made it. I lasted the whole 24 hours and read 5 whole books (plus 91 pages of a 6th book) *Obligatory wrap up post* Which hour was most daunting for you? Probably round about hours 14/15/16 as it was waaaay past my bed … Continue reading Readathon – Hour 24 – Crossing the finishing line!

I really am silly. I just posted my mini challenge an hour early! It's down now, stored in waiting for the next hour, but my confusion arose from the fact that I thought I was posting at 9am GMT - which is true, but I forgot that due to daylight savings time, the UK is … Continue reading Readathon Hours 20-21 – Oops!
I am alive! I logged off the laptop for a while as even in standby it was making a noise that was giving me a headache, so saved some energy and my sanity. Plus keeping the darn thing on distracts me from reading a bit too much - blogging and participating in games is awesome … Continue reading Readathon – Hours 15-19 Did I sleep? I don’t think so…
