Readathon progress check

Introduction Meme

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? - Germany
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? - I don't have a stack, I'm just using my shelves & my Kindle
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to? - The pizza tonight, I guess. With double chocolate chip cookies for dessert
4) Tell us a little something about yourself! - I need a break & I'm homesick :(
5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to? - I no longer have a stack and I will not even attempt to update this blog post regularly. Wheneve I find the time or need a break, you'll hear from me.

It's now 3:53pm here and we're almost two hours into the readathon. I started the readathon with a phone call from a friend. And I've already finished my first book: Clarity by Kim Harrington. Now I'm picking book #2...

I'ts now 7:35pm, we're in hour 6 of the readathon and I just fell asleep soon after the last update. I had picked a book before that though: Heart on my Sleeve by Ellen Wittlinger. But I'm not feeling it. I can't explain it, but it doesn't seem to be the book for now. Off to pick another book!

FINALE
I read for a total of 9 hours and 38 minutes (according to the stopwatch on my iTouch). I finished another book, a real chunkster by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. And if I remembered the title, I'd mention it already... -.-

Read-a-Thon

Approximately 2 hours from now Dewey's Read-a-Thon will start. This year, I will try to participate again as a reader. I haven't participated as a reader in a while. Last October I helped with the Prize Committee (I hope all prizes arrived!), April 2011 I couldn't participate because it was on my birthday and I think my family would have been a tiny bit upset if I had spent the entire day reading. After all, they had prepared a wonderful dinner with the entire family (at least the part that lives right here). But this year, I'll give it a try again.

However, you may have noticed that I haven't been blogging at all lately. I'm super busy with university and have been for the past year and a half, maybe even longer. Chances are, this will not get any better, but I also have changed a bit. This will also result in some changes here in my Dreamworld. I don't know yet how I'm going to incorporate it all, so I won't say much now. Just let me say that I plan to be a more reliable blogger from here on out!

But now, I'm off to read some more.

If you want to keep up with me, I will update my Goodreads account as I go along, and I will also tweet occasionally. Updates here will be sparse so I can concentrate on my books and stuff.
