Readathon Check-In.

Do you know I've been participating in a readathon the last two days? Oh, and I was the host? :)

I wanted to make this very casual, and I think I have succeeded so far.

I'm glad to say that I have been more productive today than I was yesterday, I didn't start reading yesterday until right before bed. I spent a lot of time yesterday writing some posts, organizing my bookshelves (they were a little out of control) and taking care of some other things. So it was still productive.

But, I woke up this morning (to the complex hammering new shingles down on our roof-I was a little unhappy about that) and managed to finish two books today!

I completed Bill Bryson's Shakespeare: The World As Stage and Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence. The Wharton was actually book 125 off my list-meaning I am halfway done! Woot!

I am going to settle down with my first Shakespeare play of the month, Antony and Cleopatra. I have 11 plays left on my list and I want to get through all them this month.

I hope that you have all started some great books in the new year!

    That's great! Have fun with the play!... we'll be doing this one sometime in May. :)

    Where I am, it's already the 3rd. So, here's my second update-cum-wrap up post.

    Congrats on the halfway point! I didn't do as much as I'd hoped for the readathon, but I did finish Cutting for Stone, and I made it halfway through The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Good thing too, because they're both due back to the library in a few days! :)

    You're going to feel real good about this journey when you're in grad school and can think to yourself, oh yeah, I've already read that. *grin*

    Imagine the heads up as it'll be your second time reading.
