Still reading The Amber Spyglass. It’s getting a bit better and my reading speed is picking up (I think that’s because of Kim sending me some speed reading magic! Thanks, Kim!). I only have about 40 more pages to read in it until I hit my goal. Then I’ll most likely move on to another book.

I’ll go ahead and do the Mid-Event Survey on this post:

1) How are you doing? Sleepy? Are your eyes tired?

I’m doing okay. Got a bit sleepy in this past hour, and I definitely need some dinner soon. But my reading speed has picked up finally! Yay!

2) What have you finished reading?

I haven’t finished any books yet. My only goal for today was to get through Chapter 26 of The Amber Spyglass. I’m about 40 pages shy of that right now, so yay! I don’t think I’ll be finishing anything today, unless I just decide to go ahead and keep chugging through The Amber Spyglass. Which is doable, but I’m thinking about starting another book shortly.

3) What is your favorite read so far?

Well, since I’ve only read The Amber Spyglass so far, that’d be it! It has been really hard for me to get into though, but it seems like it’s getting better!

4) What about your favorite snacks?

I had a great lunch but the only snack I’ve had so far has been 2 Hostess Ding Dongs. Totally snack of champions!

5) Have you found any new blogs through the readathon? If so, give them some love

Yes, I have! I’ve visited a few new ones (well, new to me!) so far and they are:

KT’s Reading Rainbow

Books, Biscuits & Tea
The Betty and Boo Chronicles
Too Fond
Bonjour, Cass!
And also the hosts of the Mini-Challenges I participated in:
A Literary Odyssey

My favorite snack so far as been Fun Dip. Ding Dongs are good but they don't turn your tongue green!

I used to love finding new blogs through readathon. Now I try to focus on reading.
