It's Mini Readathon Time Again!



So remember how uhhh-mazing our last Mini Readathon was? With the mini-snacks and the snark and the not actually much reading and the fake competition with that other readathon that lasted like a bazillion hours WHO WANTS TO READ CLASSICS FOR 24 HOURS NO ONE THAT’S WHO OKAY MABEL?? If that’s even still your name.

For serious.
 Sooooo, let’s do it again! This Sunday, July 28, gather your mini-snacks from wherever they may be (mine are still in my freezer from last time), gather some books that fit your definition of “mini,” and prepare to tweet, facebook, and blog about how much you’re eating and how it doesn’t count because the food: it is tiny! And everyone knows tiny food has no calories!



We’ll kick off at 9am Pacific time with an intro post – feel free to schedule this one ahead if you think you won’t be up in time to caffeinate and write a post by 9am (me) – update maybe once (?) at the 4 hour mark depending on how much tweeting we’ve done, and then again at the end.  I suggest we appropriate the hashtag #minithon for our own use, regardless of whether someone else uses it already.

Luckily I have Mondays off, so I think I might actually be able to do this with all of you - even if it does mean starting at 2am or something. I should probably work out the timezone thing.

Ha ha ha, oh my word. I giggled like an idiot throughout this post. I would TOTALLY join in the fun if I wasn't going to be out of town this weekend. Rats! I'm especially interested in this mini food you speak of!

I'M SIGNING UP EVEN THOUGH I ALMOST DEFINITELY CANNOT DO IT AT ALL. Unless hiking gets canceled. Then I ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CAN.

I'm at work on Sunday and have no idea what time Pacific Time is in Real Time, so I won't sign up officially. But I WILL happily eat litle Graze punnets and mini boxes of stuff in, y'know, SOLIDARITY... *fist punches like in a bad movie* Stuffing my face with snacks while blog stalking is my favourite way to support my fellow readers! :D

I thought this was planned for Saturday, so I will un-cancel the plans I had cancelled in order to mini-read. Luckily, I think I'm free all of Sunday. 9 AM Pacific is... *does bad math* 12 noon? I will have to plan a mini-lunch.

I am going to start strategizing my mini-snacks ASAP. Thank you for hosting this shindig!

I will be without a child for much of the weekend. I'll pick my mini-me up on Sunday to join me in this #minithon. Right-o!

I will be extremely unreliable in my participation with this one...because of church and also packing all of Angel's possessions. But AFTER that (around 4?) I will read along and possibly tweet about it. Because I'm 100 pages into Where'd You Go, Bernadette? and ALL I WANT TO DO IS READ IT SOME MOOOOOOORE.
So glad Andi told me about this, I'll be joining in the fun!

I MAAAAAY participate in this. I really want to because last time was much fun but I am just back from vacation and I have all of that shit-you-have-to-do-before-you-rejoin-the-real-world-and-dammit-I'm-going-to-just-run-away-adult-stuff-is-lame. But perhaps I will put all of that off and just eat mini food instead. Oh and read. Right.
