Brief readathon update!

Written by Kirsten on October 24th, 2009

OK, we’re entering the sixth hour, and I am feeling like a SLACKER! I’ve finished E. L. Konigsburg’s From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, started Stephen Lawton’s Hood but ditched it after four chapters because it just felt too historical-fiction-y for me (I have a desperately hard time keeping track of all those rulers and lands and alliances), and am beginning The Time Travelers by Linda Buckley-Archer. I also have The Time Thief if this proves to be a winner.

Would love to hear anyone else’s progress – drop a link to your own update post here, or come follow me on Twitter – http://twitter.com/aglaia531 – and I’ll follow ya back to keep up :) Happy reading, everyone, and thank you so much to the hosts and cheerleaders; you all are making this so much fun!

    I don’t think Hood would be a very good read-a-thon book, anyways. It is a bit too heavy. Good luck on your reading!

    Yeah, it wouldn’t have been on the list if I’d been in my own place with my billions of TBR books, but I’m working with what I’ve got today :) Thank you!!!

  3. Trish says:

    The benefit of having a big stack is being able to discard for another one–sometimes the book just isn’t right.

    You’re doing great!!

  4. Kirsten says:

    Thanks, Trish! Wow, I’ve been in awe with every post of yours that hits my feed reader; you are a readathon pro! I’ll definitely be taking notes for next time around :)

  5. Valerie says:

    You are actually making good progress! have fun with the rest of the read-a-thon!

    I read the Mixed-Up Files WAY back in grade school, I think, and now I want a re-read! Thanks for jogging my memory :-)

  7. Kirsten says:

    Thanks, Valerie! Bird by Bird is on my TBR shelves at home; great choice for today!

  8. Kirsten says:

    Aarti, I read it for the first time just a couple of years ago; it’s such a fun read! Glad to have reminded you of it :)

    Sounds like you are doing well to me! Keep it up!
