Thanks for all the cheering! Because of the complete silence that suddenly dawned here over Graasland yesterday evening, you might have thought I dropped out of the readathon.
I didn’t, but things did go different than I had expected. Listening to Paul Auster while baking poppy seed scones was not a success: I could not concentrate on the book and (maybe worse) I believe my scones were a complete #fail. Let’s hope they at least taste good? Picture will be posted later.
I went on to have dinner and watch a butoh performance by taketeru kudo, which was marvelous. Back home I was pretty tired so Twitter lured me away from what I meant to do until I found the courage to go read in bed. Not smart, I know ;) And a long phonecall kept me from much reading anway… I was glad with the call so it doesn’t matter (& Her Fearful Symmetry might not be the best book to read late at night???) but I am annoyed that I overslept this Sunday morning! I had set my alarm clock for 4:55am but somehow my body refused to listen :\
Anyhow, I’m back for some more cheering and reading. My book is great and a very good choice for a readathon! There has probably been a mini-challenge out there asking for book tips, but I’d better not go check ;) Those challenges and blogging still take too much time!

My body just wouldn’t obey either! Oh well, it was my busy week, and lack of sleep catching up with me. You’ve done great though. Any reading is good reading, right? BTW, hope you have a fabulous o-hanami party today. :)

Hey, sorry I didn’t get to cheer you on any earlier. :(
No worries about the number of books/pages you read and hours you spent. As long as you had fun – did you? :) – then it’s A-OK~ ;) That’s the main point of this, after all. Fun while reading makes for a 100% successful Read-a-Thon in my book! ;)
I do hope you had a blast today, and congrats on all the reading you got done~ <3
