Sadly it's only a short meaningless Sunday Salon post from me today (do I ever offer anything else :o)) as I'm suffering the fallout of participating in my first 24 Hour Read-a-Thon. I managed to read three titles in the 24-hour period, way less … [Read more...]

October 19, 2008 By 3 Comments
Seeing as I failed to enter any of the mini-events during the Read-a-Thon (heaven knows how you guys do it) I thought I should at least do this one. 1. Which hour was most daunting for you? When I woke up at 05:00 and still had half of Heart of … [Read more...]

It's 12:06pm (GMT), the Read-a-Thon has started and I'm heading into my first book. Contrary to my initial Read-a-Thon post, I'm starting with The Diary of a Nobody by George & Weedon Grossmith. I think it gives me a nice easy lead-in to the … [Read more...]
24 Hour Read-a-Thon: I’m in!
