My Halfpoint Survey

How many books have you been reading? Have you finished any? Are you on track with respect to your readathon goals so far? - I have read bits of 6 books and finished one so far.

Have you eaten real food today? (Not just junk food, ACTUAL HEALTHY FOOD) What was your favorite food or beverage so far? - I had a nectarine and lentil soup and brie. I'll be enjoying grapes and some hummus and crackers soon. Apricot macarons are still my favorite so far.

Are you growing sleepy? Do you plan to nap, or stop early, or are you extending the readathon hours to include sleep? - I listened to my audiobook with the light off (and an alarm on just in case) for about an hour. The sun is coming up now, so staying awake should be easier soon.

5 senses check-in- What are you seeing, hearing, tasting, touching and smelling now? - my computer screen, audiobook, grapes, my kitten, and brewing coffee. Once I finish my media break, it'll be the sunrise, the pitter-patter of playing cats dashing through the house, marshmallow macaron, the kitten and cats, and still brewing coffee.

How is your readathon going, overall? - Good so far. My audiobook's mazimum volume is too low to compete with traffic noise though, so I will have to stick to print for most of the rest of this readathon.

Update 2 - 1 a.m.

16 more pages read. Still very much in the beginning/set-up, but it's definitely getting interesting.

Both cats thought that it was a crime for me to move them so that I could turn on the fan. One cat on you is a million degrees, two cats is just hell in terms of heat. Nerva came back almost immediately and went to sleep on the corner of the bed. Marms took a lot longer to forgive, and even when she did return the book was her desired spot.

I've done the dumb thing and I'm now lying down, so this might end up being my last update.

Update 1 - midnight

9.5 pages in. For whatever reason both cats have decided that my left leg is the place to be. Story wise we're still in the first paragraph of the summary.

Tbh all I'm thinking about rn is how the book club ppl are gonna mispronounce the KS town names

[jeffersonthemadhatter]

I had to finish up some things (mainly grocery order) so now I'm starting on the book club book.

It's 600 pages. I know my reading speed, as well as my lack of any real attention span when it comes to physically reading. There's 18.5 hours left in the Reverse Readathon. Since I didn't know about it until an hour ago & thus have made no prep for it...I'm not hopeful in terms of getting a lot of it read.

With that said, both cats have joined me, and I'm in a cozy spot. Let's do this.

[jeffersonthemadhatter]

apparently it's dewey's reverse readathon atm so uh let's get as much of the book club book read, shall we?
