Oct Readathon Update #1 8am-10am

Title of book(s) read since last update:  Odd Thomas is On Our Side by Dean Koontz

Thoughts on current read: I absoluetly loved it!  Like the first Odd Thomas manga, it's a prequel to the books.  It's amazing to see how closely I was able to picture characters and settings from Koontz's descriptions.  And Terrible Chester was featured, yay!

Number of books read since you started: 1

Pages read since last update: 192 (but keep in mind it was a manga)

Amount of time spent reading since last update:About an hour, I've been doing challenges and cheering too!

Running total of time spent reading since you started: about an hour

Mini-challenges completed: I did the kick off meme and favorite childhood books question

Other participants you’ve visited (running list from start to finish - this way I can easily find my way back to all the new blogs!): Um, I've visited all the blogs on my cheering list from N's to Q's, I'll get to the R's and SH's over the next few hours.  And then I've visited random sites from twitter.  I really need to keep a track!  Opening a notepad right now.





Prize you’ve won:


Pin It!

  1. Thanks for cheering me on! I'm off to the library in a little bit and to the grocery store. I have a hankering for some soup! Then I'll be back for reading.

  2. Food is important, and so are breaks! Hope you find some good soup to go along with your good reads! :)

  3. (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.
