Bout of Books 4.0 Readathon: Updates

14/05/2012, CelineNyx, Events , 30

I decided to make one big post where I update my progress instead of cluttering the sidebar with all these different posts.

For more info on the readathon, visit the Bout of Books website. You find see my reading stack and goals here.

I’ll also be using this post to participate in some challenges (:

As part of the Monday challenge, Sarah asks: “What do you like best about readathons? Do you have any readathon traditions or rituals? If this is your first readathon, what do you like so far?”

Readathons are made of awesome! Seriously, if you’ve never participated in one, you should try it! So far I’ve been liking the low-pressure ones best. It’s more about the community feel than actually reading a lot. You will still read more than you usually do – but it’s not a contest.
I don’t have any real traditions. I guess talking way too much on Twitter and forgetting to read is a tradition? I always make a neat little stack of books that I want to read as a visual reminder that I’m doing a readathon. And I eat lots of snacks!

Books: The Peculiars by Maureen Doyle McQuerry & The Earthquake Machine by Mary Pauline Lowry

There’s an awesome challenge today, hosted by The Reading Housewives of Indiana. It’s about books AND shoes! I love shoes! Here are some book-shoe combos I made:

I love these boots! I think Rachel would agree, even though they’re not knee length.

Okay, these shoes have absolutely nothing to do with either zombies or unicorns, but they got such an awesome print that I had to put them next to something equally shiny.

Another Harrison book. The main character Madison loves colour and even has purple hair. I think she would like my new All Stars (:
