Since I'd like to participate in some of the mini challenges, I will also do those in this post!
Update Friday 10:20 / Report #1 (EST):
Total Books Read: 2 (The Scorch Trials and The Color of Water)
Total Pages Read: 685
Books Read Since Last Update: 1.5
Pages Read Since Last Update: 420
Total Time Read: 8ish hours (I guess I lost count)
What I'm Currently Reading: Moon Over Manifest
How I'm Currently Feeling: Kind of tired, but still good. I was originally planning to stay up real late to read, but since I have some family stuff going on tomorrow that I don't want to be tired for, I probably won't. I'll definitely still read some more tonight, but I think I'll worry about finishing book #3 tomorrow morning.
My favorite thing I've read today: The Scorch Trials. I was surpised at how much I liked it, I think I even liked it better than The Maze Runner!
Favorite Mini-Challenge: Uh, I haven't really been doing these, but I think the 3 book title sentence idea was pretty cool. And the story (obviously).
Favorite thing about the read-a-thon: Totally losing myself in these books!
Least favorite thing about the read-a-thon: Um. I guess I'm just sad that I'll get so behind while I sleep tonight!
Goals Progress: I was hoping to complete 3+ books during the read-a-thon, and I'm right on track!
New Goals: Not really. Tomorrow's going to be busy, so as long as I finish my third book I'll be happy!
Update Friday 4:15 (EST):
Total Books Read: 0 (almost done with my first!)
Total Pages Read: 265
Books Read Since Last Update: 0
Pages Read Since Last Update: 0
How I'm Currently Feeling: Surprisingly good! I have to take breaks or my eyes start hurting, but I'm feeling good about my goal of 3 books for the entire read-a-thon. If I can finish this one (The Scorch Trials) soon, and another book today, plus one book tomorrow I'll be happy with how things went. :)
Mini-Challenge #3 (A 100 word storying using Shaman, Lime, Laser, and Goat):
"I'm no Shaman, but if you keep running around in shorts and flip-flops you are going to end up with Lime Disease."
I rolled my eyes. My Mom acted like every other thing was going to make my eyeballs fall out, but she I figured if every other kid on the block managed to stay away from ticks, I'd be just fine.
"I'll be outside, Mom."
Even though I could feel her eyes like lasers on my back I bolted out the back door before she could stop me--and nearly dripped over a goat.
"If you free me from this rope I will grant you three wishes..." said the goat.
I stared open mouthed. Three wishes? A talking goat? And what was it doing in my backyard?
Okay, so that was more like a vignet than a story, but hopefully none of you mind. :) How are you doing on your reading?
