Here we are, a quarter of the way through Readathon. It was time for me to stand for a while, so I’m listening to The Maze Runner while updating here, then I’ll do some stretching and barre exercises to get the blood flowing.
So, I read The Fault in Our Stars. As expected, it was devastating and beautiful, and John Green has a new fan in me. Next up, I think I’ll go with Anton and Cecil, Cats at Sea – it looks fun, light, and like a simple, swift read, which are all perfect for Readathon (and necessary after the heaviness of TFiOS). I’m pretty certain I can finish that in short order, and then I’ll switch to audio to shower and get ready for my evening out. I really, REALLY wish the concert was any other night, but it’ll be a lot of fun, give my eyes a break, and boost my fundraising total. AND, it’s not like the books are going anywhere! Hope you’re all having a great Saturday, whether you’re reading, cheering, or going about other fun weekend business :)
Oh, and here are my in-home cheerleaders. Their energy is contagious. Which means I’m sleepy just looking at their lazy bones :)
I recently bought The Fault in Our Stars–not sure if I’m going to read it for #readathon or not. My in-home cheerleader happens to be a canine and she’s begging to go out and play. Maybe we’ll see you on line after the concert? Have a great time!
I’ll be around shortly after the encore is over – though if there’s an opportunity for an autograph, I may stick around; it’s a small venue :) And now I want to add Shirley Jackson to my list for today, reading your post – too many books, not enough hours in one Readathon day!
All our cats are cheering you on, Moxie is in my lap right now!
Yayyyyy, thanks everyone! xo
Um, that was me. I wondered why it emailed me that someone commented, lol… Guess I wasn’t logged in as admin on my phone :)
TFIOS is definitely devastating. Love your reading companions. Keep it up you’re doing great! :D :D
Thank you! They’re more awake now, watching with interest as I get caught up and back into the swing of things post-concert :)
The Fault In Our Stars is so wonderful! What a perfect readathon book!
It definitely kept me reading at breakneck speed from page 1 to the end!
you are so AWESOME!
No, YOU are! :) Thank you!
Ugh. I WANT to start TFIOS, but I’m not sure I have it in me for Readathon. Not in the mood to cry! Sounds like you are having a blast. Happy reading and enjoy the rest of Readathon! #TeamHughes
I didn’t sob/ugly-cry the way I expected to, but it definitely isn’t entirely lighthearted – I’d hold off if you’re unsure! Happy cheering/reading, and thanks for coming by!
