Dee (austhokie) | 127 comments soo this readathon coincides with me heading to Europe (from the US) for work. Notionally, I'm in Frankfurt getting ready for my short flight to Brussels when RAT starts (8am EST is 2pm Frankfurt and I catch a flight at 4)...so we'll see how much I actually get done then. But after I arrive in Brussels (5:20pm or RAT Hour 4) and get to my hotel, I should be able to at least read for a chunk of time....wish me luck...lol!

Dee (austhokie) | 127 comments my goal is to come back with as many students (and hopefully the same ones) that I left with ;) (admittedly they are all adults, so less worries - but....)

Dee (austhokie) | 127 comments made it safely to Frankfurt - ensconded at my airline gate right now waiting on my final flight to Brussels - will be here for the first 2.5hrs of the readathon (although boarding starts at hour 2).

kicking off with:
An Indecent Obsession - have just shy of 100pgs to read to finish up

I also have several other books in progress that i'm hoping to finish up over the course of the next 24 hours:
What a Dragon Should Know - currently at 22%
Notorious - currently at 22%
Wed Like Wildfire - currently at 21%
Hot Under the Collar - currently at 21%

on the audiobook side of the house, i'm listening to:
I'd Know You Anywhere - dug from the audible archives
Elegy for Eddie
The Language of Secrets
- although being that i'm traveling today, likely won't get a lot a audiobook time until I arrive in Brussels

yes - i just need to navigate the trains in brussels when I arrive there (yikes...)...right now I feel like I need a glass of wine


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 1435 comments That sounds like something that would stress me out too as I'm not used to it

Dee (austhokie) | 127 comments i forgot to come back and update with my reading whoops...but i finished:
The Lord God Made Them All while sitting in the Frankfurt airport
An Indecent Obsession while on the plane from Frankfurt to Brussels
Wed Like Wildfire while at dinner
Secrets of a Charmed Life which i started at dinner and finished up this morning

and the final book i nearly finished was Hot Under the Collar - i have about 3 chapters to go...sooo close, if only I hadn't stopped to do some duolingo language training...ha!
