Woo-hoo! One book finished! And now onto the real stuff: Tolkien, here I come!An hour late, but here are my responses to the Mid-Event Meme:
1. What are you reading right now?
The Return of the King
The Return of the King
2. How many books have you read so far?
One. I just finished Todd Newton's The Ninth Avatar. I started at page 60 at the beginning of the read-a-thon and there are 374 pages in the book. I'm too lazy to do the math.

3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?
Well, I've only got one other book planned. Just hoping I'll make some real headway with The Return of the King.

4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day?
Nope. My Saturdays are usually pretty quiet.

5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?
Oh, I needed my interruptions. I can't sit still and read nonstop for hours and hours. The only thing that bugged me was having to go the vet and spend $110 on tick medicine for my dog.

8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year?
Try to concentrate more. I need more mental discipline if I'm ever going to improve my results.

9. Are you getting tired yet?
No but I'll be having my 4 cups of (organic free-trade) coffee soon.

10. Do you have any tips for other Readers or Cheerleaders, something you think is working well for you that others may not have discovered?
Not really. Readers, good luck! Cheerleaders, keep doing your thing!

Hey, I am watching Return of the the King right now. Love your math laziness and your shameless dependence upon caffeine. Go, go, go!
I just stopped by to cheer you on and share my Read-A-Thon poem.
If I could have one wish,
I know what I would say.
Just give me my books,
And let me read all day.
Happy Reading.
You're doing awesome. It would bug me to spend money on tick medicine too...sometimes I think I am only working to pay vet bills and buy pet food *laughs*
Nice work on the reading! I've never tried reading a volume of LOTR all at once! (I have watched the movies in one sitting!) That sounds fun. Hope the rest of your read-a-thon goes great!
