Readathon!

So, very soon -- at noon GMT -- it will be time for the twenty-four hour readathon, and I thought it'd be nice if people in this community could cheer each other on, chat about how it's going, etc. I assume it's not just me taking part from this comm!

If you're taking part, how about you drop a comment with a link to your blog if you're discussing the 'thon there? Or a comment about your to read pile, or -- when we've got started -- a complaint about how tired you are already... Anything!

And whether you're participating or not, it might be nice to drop in and see how those who are participating are getting on.

I'm doing it in six-hour chunks - disability-adapted - but you already knew that. ;) Six hours today, tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday (couldn't be yesterday - I found myself swept up unexpectedly to do everything but read!).

I'm planning to get six hours in today, and I've already got an hour and a half of that done. This is a brief updating-GoodReads-and-my-Twitter-and-journal break.

Yeah, I had planned to start yesterday, but the weather kicked me in the teeth, then Adam, Lydia and Laura wanted me to come out, so I went and had dinner and watched Blake's 7 and Sanctuary with them, I was too tired to really think after the abortive visit to the Jobcentre I tweeted about.

So today is my beginning. :) I've already finished one book, and am in the middle of my second. See latest journal post (made public).
