Hour 3

Oct 9th 2010October 2010

So how’s everyone doing?! I can’t get around to all the blogs, so feel free to leave a comment letting me know what you’re reading and eating. I like to live vicariously through everyone else on the day of the readathon!

You’ll have WAY more interesting hourly posts from the hosts who will come after me. I’m not a morning person and my cinnamon rolls haven’t come out of the oven yet!

Mini-Challenges

Six Word Celebration hosted by Andi from Estella’s Revenge. You’ll be coming up with six words to celebrate the readathon! Winner gets a book of their choice (up to $15) from Book Depository.

Winners Announced

Since Life As List hasn’t approved all the moderated comments, I’ll announce that winners as soon as I can see comments. The winner from Sweet Reads is Virginie from She Reads Books. Congratulations! Please email deweyreadathon@gmail.com with your choice of one book from the prizes page.

    I haven’t had anything to eat yet, and just got around to doing a few of the memes! I should do that. I have chocolate chip muffins waiting for me.

    Your cinnamon rolls sound much better than the egg/cheese sandwich on whole wheat that I had. I was going for the protein but would much rather have enjoyed an cinnamon roll. Next readathon!

    Yay! Several people have already put in their six-word celebrations. Keep ‘em coming!

    Have fun everyone!! I didn’t sign up because I can only participate for part of the day, but I’m still loving the read-a-thon! I’ve never done one of these before.

    Thanks to all for hosting. :-)

    I’m having so much fun so far. Had a breakfast while I was reading the first part of Love Stargirl! I’m so excited to see what everyone else is reading so far.

    Congratulations Virginie! The challenge looks fun. Laughing my way through my first book!

    I’ve had lunch.
    I ate a ham sandwich and some yellow soup. I think… Yellow-ish. It was good though. It was on the fridge.

    Good luck everyone!

    Congrats on winning, Virginie! :D

    Darn it takes me 20 minutes to think of my 6 Word for Read-a-Thon! Wahaha. Continue Reading!

    I’ve had a cocoa and a granola bar and I’ve been reading Sharon Kay Penman’s The Sunne in Splendour!

    I’m eating a combination of bagel chips, dark chocolate waffle cookies, and earlier I had veggies with ranch. Drink wise I had a bottled Frappacino, vanilla flavor and I’m currently making my way through a non-caffeinated Root Beer.

    Reading wise, I’m going through New Grub Street by George Gissing – Yay for 19th century novels I need to finish for class and write papers on. I have three of these to read this weekend anyways, so reading them, but making breaks between them with more fun books.

    Save me a cinnamon roll! :-D

  14. Guta Baueron 09 Oct 2010 at 6:50 am 14

    It’s almost noon here in Brazil and we are just going to hour 4. Hope i can keep going later in the day!

  15. A.M.Yon 09 Oct 2010 at 6:54 am 15

    Half way through The Search for WondLa by Tony Diterlizzi. I knew I should have taken a break at 9 a.m…. forgot all about the prizes and mini challenges!

    I’ve moved to the “den” in order to keep better track of that stuff!

  16. Allieon 09 Oct 2010 at 6:56 am 16

    I’m finishing up Lolita with some cinnamon oatmeal and a mug of English breakfast tea. Not too fancy here!

  17. Sarah @ Loving Bookson 09 Oct 2010 at 6:58 am 17

    I just finished Touching from a distance and am making a cup of constant comet tea before I start How Did You Get This Number. So glad i’m finally getting to do this!

    Congratulations, Virginie!

    I’m still on my first book, Mockingjay, but the reading time has been broken up by life for me .. still having fun with it, though!

    Julie @ Knitting and Sundries

    I’m about to make my mock screwdriver (orange juice and ginger ale) and grab 4-5 shortbread cookies to go with it!

    I feel like I’m reading a bit slower than usual. I’m only on page 104 ‘for one more day’ by Mitch Albom. Must be because I am also not a morning person. Now I remember where I got the craving for cinnamon rolls.

  20. Lisa (starmetal oak)on 09 Oct 2010 at 7:07 am 20

    I’m reading Grimspace by Ann Aguirre! It’s going well so far.

  21. Lexion 09 Oct 2010 at 7:24 am 21

    I ate cinnamon rolls this morning, too! YUM!

  22. La Bella Vitaon 09 Oct 2010 at 7:48 am 22

    Reading at a slow pace. My toddler is still up. Reading Perfect Switch by Plumley.
