Read-A-Thon Update: 12 & 1/2 hours in.

Books Finished: Still only one.

Reading: A Lion Among Men, by Gregory Maguire, which is turning out not to be half as exciting as Son of a Witch, which I'd intended to review for the blog but don't think I ever did. Anyway, I actually don't care about the Brr the Cowardly Lion, I want to hear more about Liir, and Candle, and Trism bon Cavalish. THANKS.

Ways Found Of Procrastinating: 7

• Cleaning Out Google Reader (watching videos of baby goats, baby kittens, etc. and the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer)
• Shrieking at my mother via Facebook RE: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer.
• Roleplaying (THIS IS BAD, BAD, OH SO BAD I AM SUCH A FUCKING PROCRASTINATOR). Incidentally, number of actual replies written: 1. Number of discussions had about baby cannibalism, however, is up to 3.
  
• Pestering the cat
• Napping.
• Cooking.
• Eating.

Back to reading!

Read-a-Thon

So! We (read: I, Lanie) haven't been the best with posting lately but we're (I'm) getting back into the swing of things with tomorrow's read-a-thon hosted over at dreadlockgirl.com. If it's not too late to join in, by the time you're reading this, I suggest doing so!

Some people are doing this with a charity in mind but for me, I am looking to knock my last 4 books of the year (of the 50 book challenge) out of the park before the holidays take up too much of my attention.

For the read-a-thon, tou're responsible not only for your own good time, but encouraging and commenting the bloggers both before and after you. Sound like fun? You can look forward to a bunch of posts from both of us for the 24 hours that the read-a-thon runs (beginning 6 am PST) and then more regular posting after that.

Hope you enjoy!
