The 40 hour read-a-thon, 14 hours in
Started about 3.45pm yesterday afternoon and now 14 hours in I'd thought I'd post a little about the experience so far.
Have read 6 books so far.. the books and the times I started and finished them are listed below
1. Babylon's Ark: The Incredible Wartime Rescue of the Baghdad Zoo by Lawrence Anthony and Graham Spence. Started: 3.45pm/Finished 7.30pm (also had dinner during that time and Erik distracted me for a bit when he got home from work)
2. Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne. Started: 7.55pm/Finished: 12.08am (Saturday)
3. The Word on Love : A Biblical Celebration of Love by Barbour Publishing, Inc. Started: 12.15am/Finished: 12.28am
4. Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. Started: 12.39am/Finished: 2.47am
5. Garfield Sits Around the House by Jim Davis. Started: 3.01am/Finished: 3.24am
6. Duet by David Hill. Started: 3.40am/Finished: 5.12am
And have just started 25 Ultimate Experiences: Wonders of the World by Rough Guides
Am finding it ok so far.. am a little tired and very cold.. I did have a hot water bottle up my hoodie. I'm keeping track of the books I read and the times in my little red journal and writing what I thought of each book for when I journal them on BookCrossing Sunday morning after I finish.
Am also starting to feel a little bit hungry... will have a mandarin soon I think. I plan on treating myself to pancakes or something for breakfast so might head out in a few hours with a book, journal and pen in my handbag.
I have found this to be a good exercise in reflection while reading also and am enjoying myself. I'm feeling quite stoked that $90 has been pledged and donated... the awesome thing is that it has been all BookCrossers that have donated so far. Thanks!
