Readathon Sixth Hour Update

The readathon got a mention last night at Crooks and Liars.

Cool beans.

Finished The Fire Gospel. Memo to self: remember to find out later if Faber was intentionally giving a nod to Tobias Wolff's "Bullet to the Brain" in the later portion of the book.

    Go, Susan! Go!

    My 9 year old daughter read 673 pages in less than 24 hours earlier this week, when a box of books arrived from Amazon. I should have had her wait for this read-a-thon. Of course, she needs a new prescription (again!) and has an appointment at the optometrist next week.

  3. That's awesome that we got a mention! Wish I were actually reading though. I've now decided that I MUST join the next one. Cheering has been fun though, since I've gotten to meet so many of you great book bloggers! Good luck with your reading...and I hope the migraine stays at bay! I hate them. Best of luck! :)

  4. She should definitely participate next time, Margaret. 673 pages in a day is an impressive amount to get through without any outside motivation. She'd manage to put everyone else to shame if she decided to get competitive.

A bang, not a whimper

  Two months into L.'s retirement, and I'm finished with the stockpiling of books. No more book purchases! Or at least, no purcha...
