Read-a-thon opening post


This is my first read-a-thon, and this time it's more for fun, some time I really want to do it all ;) But as for now, it just started and it's 3 PM here. And tonight we are going to my parents for dinner so not much reading then. And gotta sleep during the night, the antibiotics makes me sleepy. But At least I am gonna visit blogs :) And perhaps update on twitter, blodeuedd83

Ok meme time.

Where are you reading from today?  Demon from the Dark by Kresley Cole

3 facts about me … From Finland, loves chocolate, would like to become an author

How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours 1..ok 2 (but that one is a maybe)

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)? No, just going to go out and have a good time

 If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time? First time, but I have been a cheerleader. Just have fun


Update: Hour..dunno, time: 11.20 PM

  4. (Non)traditional Buddhist readathon blessing:

    Just as the books fill the shelves,
    Pile together on the floor and stack up on the table
    So may the joy of the readathon
    Flow forth to brighten your day and lift your spirit.
    Books already read, books in progress and books yet to be read.

    By the power of every word on the page
    May your book be delightful,
    As scary as Lovecraft’s Cthulhu
    Or as sweet as a box of See’s candy.

    Let the power of the images evoked by words
    Keep you stay awake long through the night
    May no obstacle impede
    Your day filled with books.

    For all of those who are reading today
    Who follow in the path of Dewey
    May your day be filled with the four blessings
    Of fabulous books, tasty snacks, comfy chairs and joy.
