My coffee was prepped with push button action for the 5am go time. My first book plan was to finish the last 47 pages of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Which would provide me with an early success. I would use that to springboard myself into The Selfless Gene. The book is not a favorite, but as it is for a review, I must finish it eventually. I have snacks piled within reach on one side and the TBR pile on the other side. I also have my Glee soundtrack on pause in case I need musical inspiration. Currenty I am rewarding myself with a mini challenge and a bowl of cereal after having completed 51 pages in The Selfless Gene.
And now back to the books.

Read, read, read!!! Good luck with your Read-A-Thon!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! You're already on a roll.
ReplyDeleteGlee soundtrack! Great idea. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are doing great! Love the way you write, have a ball. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm here from the Read-a-thon! Great job! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your reading already! Good idea to read one you don't like earlier. . .I am in one that is just ok - but not far enough in it yet to decide whether I am going to stick with it
ReplyDeleteExcellent progress so far! Keep on reading, you'll make it all the way til the end! Glee is an excellent choice to keep motivated - especially when Mr Schuester is singing! Love him!
ReplyDeleteI love that you have Glee standing by for emergency inspiration! Maybe you could host a virtual dance party in your living room later!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are off to a great start!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your tough book! I'm starting off with a slower one, too; I'm already most of the way through and am really enjoying it, but it's not a book I can read quickly.
ReplyDeleteI like your set up! :D
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an interesting book! Good luck and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteRead-a-thon-er! I started with a book that I knew could suck me in, but it's not a super short one. But it's good so far, which is what's important!
ReplyDelete^_^
Lol, glad to see someone has a similar set up to me, coffee and snacks on either side so I don't have to stop reading for anything :P
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!!
Good luck. I don't have hardly any prepared for today snack wise. Hope you have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteSomeday I feel that I should read the Wimpy Kid books, just to see what my boys like so much about them...
ReplyDeleteI hope your reading day goes well!
Great start! Have a great Read-a-thon! Keep on Reading!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I want to read Diary of a Wimpy Kid, I saw the movie and it was fantastic, so I imagine the book is even better! Happy readings!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read The Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but I've been planning to see the movie soon. Looking forward to reading what you think of it. And Glee soundtrack is an excellent companion. I hope you're having fun!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it. I'm interested in your thoughts on Diary of a Wimpy Kid - I am still torn about these books.
ReplyDeleteCan I just say how much I love the Glee soundtrack - I have been using it in the background for the last few days and the songs are always running through my head.

ReplyDeleteI never thought to play music during the read-a-thon. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteTraditional read-a-thon blessing:
ReplyDeleteMay the bookshelf be there to greet you.
May all the books appeal.
May the fridge be full of tasty snacks;
the words fall soft upon your eyes and until the read-a-thon ends,
may you always hold a book in the palm of your hand.
Good luck today!
It's half past midnight here so I can't play music at the moment. I'm about to take a tea break and then curl up with a book for a while. Hopefully it will keep me awake and I won't need any extra music encouragement for a while.
ReplyDeleteI hope The Selfless Gene is improving and you're getting through it quickly.
Happy Reading!
interesting reading selection - I'm also a Gleek so I think it's a great choice for music - happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI loved Diary of a Wimpy Kid! Happy Reading Today :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the challenge! I am more on a cheerleading side this time, last time I read something like 14 hours but now I unfortunately have this school paper to do so I cannot read that much! :(
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Sounds like you have everything you need. Cereal was my food of choice for this hour as well. Good luck with your reading!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing awesome! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great day! I also hope you have something fun to read planned as well. Though I had to smile at your "The book is not a favorite, but as it is for a review, I must finish it eventually." I've got a few of those to read myself!
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me I haven't had breakfast yet! Ugh. Sounds like you are off to a great start though! Hope you are having fun!
ReplyDeleteWhoo-hoo for completing your first book of the readathon and congrats on being reader of the hour! I do hope you get some fun reads in!! Remember, readathon is a treat!
ReplyDeleteJust had breakfast myself.. late! Have a great time!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck today!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant to set the coffee pot! I wish I would have thought of that! :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reward :)
Just stopped by to Cheer you on! Have a great day!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could listen to music, but I need quiet to read. So different from when I was young and could read anywhere, including the bowling alley!
ReplyDeleteWhoops, I'm Morphidae for the Read-a-thon.
ReplyDeleteDiary of a Wimpy Kid is perfect for the readathon!
ReplyDeleteyay! a beginner like me!! great pile i wish you success! kai
ReplyDeletePardon the interruption....give The Pink Carnation a try, it is a great book. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteHi!
