I didn’t do the intro meme yet! Not so good. Anyway, I have finished my first book, Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs, and I have read so far for 2 hours and 31 minutes. Here’s my neat little graph:
Number of Books | 1 | Books Read | |
Pages Read | 286 | Hunting Ground | |
Time Spent Reading | 2:31 | ||
Time Spent Blogging | ######### |
Keith is on level six of the first Tomb Raider and has been playing for the same amount of time as I’ve been reading.
And for the intro meme …
Where are you reading from today?
I’m currently at home in Wolverhampton, England.
3 facts about me …
1. I have been married exactly one week today!
2. I wrote a dissertation about Anthony Woodville this summer for an MA in Medieval Studies.
3. I like baking and I wish I’d thought to bake some delicious treats for today!
How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?
I have fifteen left. I know I’m not going to read them all, though.
Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)?
I’d like to read more than 6 books and stay up later than 3 am (a tough one for me).
If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, Any advice for people doing this for the first time?
This is only my second read-a-thon, but so far the advice others have given me has been great: read short, fun books and make sure you have food nearby. And don’t get too distracted by the internet!
I’m off to see how everyone else is doing briefly before I continue with book 2. I think that will actually be The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. The words are huge, so I’m hoping to get through it very quickly.
Oh, yay, Hunting Ground! I love Patricia Briggs.

PS. I also finished a dissertation for my MA this summer – though not in Medieval Studies. I prefer even more ancient times, since I wrote my thesis in Egyptology
