In just a little bit I will be beginning The Classics Club’s first ever readathon.
My goal is to aim for 10 hours, I know already that I wouldn’t be reading the full 24 because I already have plans for dinner and a movie (I’m rooting for Les Miserables) Anyway, the clock is ticking down but in the meantime I’ll fill out this short meme.
- Snacks and Beverages of Choice: Tea, Water, Yogurt (I’m trying to be good)
- Where are you reading from today? At home in a chair by the fire
- What are your goals for the Readathon? To have fun!
- What book(s) are you planning on reading? Little House Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Lady Susan by Jane Austen, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
- Are you excited? Yes!
I will be keeping track of my progress here instead of bogging down my blog (and google readers) with numerous posts.
Starting Stats:
Currently Reading: Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder
Starting Page: 5
Beverage: Tea
Starting Time: 7am
The Little House books were some of my favorites–I read them over and over, I loved them so much. Great Expectations is one of my favorite Dickens novels–I haven't read Lady Susan, so I'll check back to see what you think of it! Have a great day–Harriet
Farmer Boy is one of my particular favorites from the Little House series. Have a great readathon!
I hope you're enjoying the readathon! Great Expectations is a special favourite of mine, so I hope you'll get to it. In the meantime: happy reading!
10 hours would be extremely impressive, I think I've managed about 3 so far and it's already 5.15pm here (and I have dinner plans). But I've enjoyed it, hope you are enjoying it too.
I'm sure you're loving LIW – I have fond memories of her books from long ago. Happy reading!
I loved the Little House series (book and TV show) when I was young.
I've been trying to work out the best way to post updates and I like your idea of keeping it in one post – thanks.
Good luck

Good luck! I've been going since about 9:45am, but with plenty of breaks.
How did your readathon go? I had a great time, but now I'm only just getting around to comment! I was so into All the Pretty Horses. I ended up going to bed fairly early (midnight I think) and finishing my book in the morning.
