Okay, I am so flippin' EXCITED to be participating this year. Last year I wanted to and couldn't find the time... and even this year, I have a festival to go to with my best friends today, but I'm still going to read up to the point I leave and then come back and read till 5 AM like my time zone says. =)
It's going to be FUN! Right now I'm reading The Wastelands by Stephen King, book #3 in the Dark Tower series. It's dense, but really good so far. It did a nice job of unconfusing me from the last book, because I was having problems when I read that. Stephen King never ceases to amaze me... a giant cyborg bear? Completely commonplace in one of his books.
Hopefully later today I'll be able to post pictures. Or tomorrow. Or something. I don't know how often I'll post today, I'm really busy and reading gets addicting. You know how it is. Or maybe you don't, I don't know.
ANYWAY, I'm going to start to try posting on here again. Because I haven't been on here in like, a YEAR. Maybe I'll just do a weekly recap of what I'm reading because I'm too busy to do a post per book. Seriously, this sophomore year from Hell-sinki is going to flatten me. Which is why I need days like this to recover on my downtime and READ. Yay!

(Non)traditional Buddhist readathon blessing:
Just as the books fill the shelves,
Pile together on the floor and stack up on the table
So may the joy of the readathon
Flow forth to brighten your day and lift your spirit.
Books already read, books in progress and books yet to be read.
By the power of every word on the page
May your book be delightful,
As scary as Lovecraft’s Cthulhu
Or as sweet as a box of See’s candy.
Let the power of the images evoked by words
Keep you stay awake long through the night
May no obstacle impede
Your day filled with books.
For all of those who are reading today
Who follow in the path of Dewey
May your day be filled with the four blessings
Of fabulous books, tasty snacks, comfy chairs and joy.
I absolutely know how addictive reading can be! So glad you're reading with us today, however much you can. Good luck, and happy readathoning!
Read, Read, Read and you will succeed! :D
One, Two, Three, Four
Get one done and read some more
Five, Six, Seven, Eight
Reading so much, can't see straight
Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve
Pick another up off the shelf!
Happy Reading!
I'm not so good at clever cheers - just keep on reading, and we'll be here (to keep you motivated - yeah!)
Hope this does help motivate your reading AND blogging.
Happy Readathon!
