Are You Reading Yet? Because I'm Not...


It's 2 hours in and I just woke up because that is the kind of leader I turned out to be. The kind who is too clever for herself and assumes her regular alarm will go off at 7:30am and then it DOESN'T because it is the WEEKEND. And I was so prepared for this last night you guys - I even filled the electric kettle ahead of time!

Oh iPhone, why can't you read my mind?

Anyway, yesterday I stocked up on mini-snacks at Safeway, which was probably a good idea if I wanted to survive the weekend as my fridge has looked like this since I moved in to my apartment in October:



Now I have mini-Tostitos on the counter and mini-eclairs and mini-cheese puffs in the freezer and the fridge part has an addition of salsa. Way to go on filling the fridge, T.

But I now have tea and a bra on and brushed my hair, so to the books, allons-y!




Half-way point UPDATE! 

I have read approximately 15 blogs, eaten a handful of mini-eclairs and mini-corn chips, had several distinctly non-mini cups of tea, and read exactly 23 pages of my book.

But there have been life/family things going on and I may have to abandon you all completely for the dreaded world outside my comfy apartment.

Clearly this does not merit a full check-in post. TWENTY-THREE pages.

  1. Yay! So far this readathon is going swimmingly! I have started Harry Potter and have eaten mini muffins and mini tomatoes (grape tomatoes). And done a lot of mini procrastinating by reading other participants' blog posts.

    HAPPY READATHONING!

    1. Thank you! I got it years ago on a trip to Disneyland and I use it when I'm feeling fancy. :)

  4. OMG WE ARE MUG TWINS! I have that EXACT SAME mug in my cupboard back in LA and I use it when I want to feel fancy (which is every day).

    So far, this readathon is the best because we are all the laziest and rely heavily on snacks and hot beverages to carry us through.

    1. AHH HOORAY! And I use mine the same way! I have a Wonder Woman one too, so there's fancy-pretty-princess mug and a kickass-chick mug. I usually give the princess one to male visitors.

      Yes. I love how we were all, 24 hours is TOOO LONNNNNNG! and now we're struggling with 8. Good job us!!

  5. The iphone 6 is going to be able to read your mind. I'm pretty sure. So just sit tight there miss!

  6. Yay Tika! It's a mini-thon, so no worries. You're just making it mini-er. I'm glad you have snacks! And your mug is the greatest!

  7. I WANT THAT MUG AND I WANT IT NOW.

    You can read a mini amount and we will still love you. Because that is remaining TRUE to the spirit of the 'thon.

    All the books in that pile are awesome.

    1. I WILL KEEP THAT IN MIND!

      Thank you for the encouragment! And I'm starting to remember reading The Emerald Atlas now, which is good because I read it in April and completely forgot the plot.
