Where are you reading from today? The Maze Runner by James Dashner
3 facts about me …
I'm a 13 year old girl
This is my first 24 hour read-a-thon
I enjoy writing and reading
How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours? 3 or so
Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)? Try my best and finish as many books as possible/read as many pages as possible
If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time?
I'm not a veteran read-a-thoner =P

2nd hour mini-challenge:
Considering I'm 13 years old I'll go back in time around 5-7yrs of age..Ah childhood books, although my memory is some-what blurry I think my favorite book as a child was Disney Princess' books. You know the ones with Cinderella, Snow White, Aurora, Belle, and then there was Thumbellina. If I remember correctly my mother read that to me when I was younger. Oh I remember! When my mother and I were packing for our move we were looking through some of my brother's and my baby stuff. She brought out some books on learning how to write, and go to the bathroom. There was one small book in particilar that I enjoyed having read to myself.. It was a book about counting and it had angels. Explains why I like angels know though at the age that I am. As far as the books I have planned to read currently at the moment for the Read-a-Thon. I plan to read YA novels. Simply because I am a YA. I enjoy any type of genre, and I'll read almost anything.

ReplyDelete(Non)traditional Buddhist readathon blessing:
ReplyDeleteJust 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 can't wait to hear what you think about The Maze Runner. I wasn't a huge fan but I know lots of people who were and I like to hear everyone's perspective on it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, happy reading!
Thank you all so very much for the support. I truly appreciate it. Good Luck for those readers out there and have a wonderful Read-A-Thon
