Mod
Hope your readathon is going well!
Hope you are reading, relaxing, and enjoying to the fullest, Vicki!
Have not read Connelly either but have a LOT of his books on my shelves (waiting and waiting…)
Hope you’re enjoying “The Darkest Hours.” I’m a Michael Connelly fan too. Right now, I’m anticipating his new book, coming out next month. Have a great Readathon. Read on!
Susan wrote: "Hope you’re enjoying “The Darkest Hours.” I’m a Michael Connelly fan too. Right now, I’m anticipating his new book, coming out next month. Have a great Readathon. Read on!"It is really good! Somehow I got behind on the series, so I have this one and then one more before the new one comes out next month. I guess for the amount of titles he has I am not too far behind. :)
1) How many books have you been reading? Have you finished any? Are you on track with respect to your readathon goals so far?I've finished 3 - 2 novellas and one novel I was in the middle of.
I started 2 more that I am working on now.
I didn't make a number goal, but I am happy with my progress so far!
2) Have you eaten real food today? (Not just junk food, ACTUAL HEALTHY FOOD) What was your favorite food or beverage so far?
I had avocado toast with egg this morning and have been drinking lots of water. I am having pizza for dinner! Yum, what a treat.
3) Have you been participating in any of the activities on our social media (sprints, photo challenges, discussion questions, BINGO, etc.)
I have done the sprints and the discussion questions on GoodReads. I have also checked in on a few friend's threads throughout the day.
4) Are you growing sleepy? Do you plan to nap, or stop early, or are you extending the readathon hours to include sleep?
The thon started at 5 am for me which is my normal getting up time. So I am not tired yet. I will go to sleep tonight at some point and wake up for the last hour.
5) Have you been outside yet today? Have you had much exercise (besides the heavy lifting required to hold your book)?
Yes! I walked the dog during hour 2 and then again during hour 12 for a total of 60 minutes.
I also sat outside to read, but it was too hot so I came back inside.
6) How is your readathon going, overall?
I am having a great time! This is a much needed break for me.
I had pizza for supper. It was yummy! Hope your pizza's good too!

I read these books, too, although I am behind by a couple. Glad to hear you're having a great time! It IS a wonderful break from everything, isn't it?
Glad you're enjoying the readathon, Vicky! Your dog must be very happy with the long walk!
2am Check In Hour 22I just took a 3 hour nap and am trying (with difficulty) to wake up. I am responding to some friend's threads before I try to start reading again.
I hate when I am so tired and I just reread the same page/line over and over!
My plan is to read as long as I can and then go back to bed with my audio book for the end of the readathon.
Looks like a sound plan. Hope you'll enjoy your audiobook of choice!
