Remaining Mid-Event Survey Questions
Still hoping I can get to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, but my speed hasn't really been up to par.
No real interruptions around here. Darian is participating in the read-a-thon and Collin is doing his own thing today, popping in only to ask if we need refills on drinks or snacks. It's been awesome.
It's actually been fairly quiet this time around in terms of visitors and visiting. It seems that everyone is hanging out more on the social media sites this time around instead of visiting blogs. That works for me, but it's definitely a different feel from last time. I have a feeling that there are many who are going with the plan I have...to visit blogs tomorrow when the read-a-thon is finished.

3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-Thon?
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
4. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?
No?
5. What surprises you most about the Read-a-Thon, so far?
That I can eat as many snacks as I have and not throw up.
CATS AND PIZZA YESSSSS. I'm definitely not going to make my page goal either, which is slightly disheartening this early in the readathon. If I were Darian I'd concentrate on that supernatural snacking thing and just go with the flow... :D
ReplyDeleteI don't know how he does it. He was attacking the snack table with gusto before 9 a.m.
DeleteI want your snacks!! Looks like you are having an awesome Read-a-thon (and hopefully that will continue for awhile yet!)
ReplyDeleteThe snacks are a bit insane. The read-a-thon has been going really well...though I'm not sure how the time has gone so fast.
DeleteYou guys are still doing great. I do agree the blogs are a bit quietter this time around, but I'm trying to get around every so often to check up on people. In all truth I have been too busy reading to do much. Pizza would have been a great supper idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachael! We originally planned an easy meal for dinner, but we went for Chinese take out instead. Not a bad substitution.
DeleteI'm sorry not many people have been coming around your blog. Did you sign up early enough to get cheerleaders? I've been almost non-stop on blogs. OMG there was a ton to go to, and I'm just getting to the people I actually care about. I definitely don't wanna cheer each time, it's too much, not enough cheerleaders! Beyond cheering, I've only been reading. I don't do the social media stuff at all. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having fun!
Oh, I'm not that worried about people coming around. It's been fun regardless. Why don't you do the social media thing?
