The Read-a-Thon TBR pile I started with, at 7 am Saturday:
And, as the hours passed,
TBR on the left gets smaller
while books read on the right gets larger....

1001 Children's Books You Must Read
Before You Grow Up
1001 Children's Books You Must Read
Before You Grow Up
(aka The List).
How many books did you have in your TBR pile for the 24 hours?
I had 30. All children's books from the List.
Did you have any goals for the read-a-thon?
1. Read many books.
2. Visit many bloggers.
Any advice for people doing this next time?
Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christina! I'm starting with Nurse Matilda and I'm twenty pages to the end.

Thoughts in Progress
What a lovely stack of books! I have the 1,001 children's books to read on my christmas wishlist.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day -- and I look forward to following your progress!
Wow, great stack! Good lukc, and have a great readathon! :)
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.
Happy Reading! You have a nice stack of books to choose from.
ReplyDeleteMy, my, that is an awesome stack! And I love that you're reading in your meditation room. Makes it sound so peaceful. Good luck with the rest of the books!

ReplyDeleteGoing with mostly children's books is really smart. I'm in the middle of a MG graphic novel series right now. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIs that the book Mrs. Doubtfire was based off of? Interesting!

ReplyDeleteA thought to mull over: “The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts.” -- John Greenleaf Whittier
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reading!
