There are over 400 people participating in this weekend’s read-a-thon. I participated for the first time last year and it was a blast. It’s been a bit difficult focusing on reading for the first 12 hrs. Family and other issues have distracted me. But I’m still getting in some reading. Update: my read-a-thon is over.

Congratulations on participating in the read-a-thon and doing so well. I missed out this year but it looks like you had a great time! Glad to see it.

Didn’t hear of it perhaps it was for the best. I read less than 10 pages over the weekend. With all the baby-sitting on my hands. I am almost two-weeks into a 184-page novel I could have read in a day.
Looking forward to reading your thoughts on Mr Happy and the Hammer of God. Personally, I think it is one of the best short-story collections by a single author I have read. It’s thought-provoking, leaving off pieces for us to judge…

Hope the rest of your Read-a-Thon-ing is as much fun as you’ve had so far. I remember “discovering” your site through last autumn’s event. I hope to be taking part again in the October slot!

The party’s starting to pop
And you’re already having fun.
Don’t let the momentum stop
And get some reading done!
Hope the second half of the event is wonderful for you!
