Reading now: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle - it's a wonderful book, I wish I'd read it when I was younger
Pages read in the last two hours: 124
Pages read so far: 915
Books completed: The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
Eternal Pleasure by Nina Bangs
Snacks consumed: More Coke in attempts to stay awake, chocolate chip cookies
Mini-challenges completed: 3, as well as the halfway survey.
Am definately starting to feel sleepy. Will do my very best to stay awake until I finish the book, but then I suspect I'll have to go to sleep, and read more tomorrow instead. After all, Readathon doesn't end until 2pm here.
This is my book blog, where I review books I read as part of Cannonball Read 18, where members compete to be the first to reach 52 reviews. We also try to get people excited about books and reading, and make money for cancer charities. As always, I will be reading and reviewing in memory of friends and family who died of cancer in the past few years. Wish me luck!

October Read-a-thon 2012: Hour twelve - halfway!
Mid-event survey:
1. How are you doing? Sleepy? Are your eyes tired?
Getting a bit tired, but it helped that I got some fresh air a few hours ago. Should be good for a few hours yet, though.
2. What have you finished reading?
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
Eternal Pleasure by Nina Bangs
3. What is your favourite read so far?
The Raven Boys
4. What about your favourite snacks?
The custard/cinnamon bun I had, it was delicious.
5. Have you found any new blogs through the readathon? If so, give them some love.
I have taken part in a few challenges, which I've linked to earlier, but I'd like to mention Fictionally Inclined, which I discovered during the April Readathon. I'm not sure if she's participating this time.
