Mid-Event Survey
1) How are you doing? Sleepy? Are your eyes tired?
I was tired, but I took a short nap. I didn't sleep good last night, so I needed it. I imagine I'll need another one if I don't get some caffeine soon! The Hubs is bringing me home a Coke.
2) What have you finished reading?
I finished 3 audiobooks: Bunnicula Strikes Again by James Howe, In My Dreams by Sarah Addison Allen, and Nice Girls Don't Live Forever by Molly Harper.
3) What is your favorite read so far?
Nice Girls Don't Live Forever. Molly Harper is hilarious!
4) What about your favorite snacks?
The Archer Farms Dark Chocolate Expresso Trail Mix. Yummy in my tummy!
5) Have you found any new blogs through the readathon? If so, give them some love!

BAHAHAHA, that book sticker funny is SO TRUE. Those stickers are the bane of our frickin' existence at the shop, and they make me fairly murderous at home too! Congrats on a fantastic reading day, you've been a regular whirlwind of activity! And hooray for sleep, I had my full eight hours too but it's really just made me more awake NOW so I can continue my reading after hours. It's all good. :)
ReplyDeleteloooooooove all your random images. but the book hug is CREEPY... which is probably why you like it.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had an awesome time!
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures! I effing hate book stickers and I would freaking LOVE more HP. Steph is right though, the book hug is creepy.
Looks like you did a fantastic job with this readathon, Kate! And I LOVE that Book Costs graph! So true!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, I get what they mean by that book hug--we want them to hug us back because we just want to HUG ALL THE BOOKS, but I agree with Steph and Kim--it's creepy.
AND OMG IF J.K. ROWLING DOES MORE HARRY POTTER I WILL BE FOREVER IN FANGIRL MODE TYPING IN ALL CAPS. That might not be a good thing for the rest of the world, but it will be FANTASTIC for me. ;)
