24h Read-a-Thon (Spring 2014): Hour 1 and Opening Meme


I've been awake for 2 hours now (it's 7h50 as I write), since I had to go to the lab early, it was hard you guys, to wake up for something I really didn't want to do. But is done know, I am back at home, I took a nice shower and the smell of coffee is helping me to feel actually awake :) Now let's answer the opening meme
 
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
I am in Montréal, Canada

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?

For now in my stack I have books that I seriously have to finish, so I am looking forward to tackle all of them. However, if I manage I would like to finally read The Last Unicorn.

the books that I shold finish today :)
 
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
Mmmm, we did get the time yesterday to buy the ingredients so I am very happy to know I will have my Read-a-Thon Chili!!

4) Tell us a little something about yourself!

Well if you follow my blog you already know that I am doing my PhD in science and that I recently got engaged. I can also tell you that even though I am not an early morning person I prefer to start my things early, so then I can relax at home. I love sour gummies and chocolate.

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?

This is my 4th Read-A-Thon, the 3rd one as a reader. I am not sure I will be able to make it  like I did last year, so what I will be doing different is not forcing myself to do the 24h, but sticking to what I can. 

Hope to see you during my challenge! Best of lucks and have a great Read-a-Thon!

24h Read-A-Thon (2013): Hour 1



Hello everybody,this is my first post for the Dewey's Read-a-Thon of 2013.My second one as a reader!. Last year I manage to finish 5 books, lets see how I do this year. I am also very exited as it is the first time I will be holding a Challenge!!!


Now let's answer the first questionary:


1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
      Montreal,Canada
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?

     I didn't make a stack of books for today, just like last year, but I'm hoping I will get to read and finish The Nightmare!!!
 3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
     My boyfriend made Chili to conmemorate that last year...he made chili, hehe
4) Tell us a little something about yourself!

     I'm a PhD student that always has a book with her :)
5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? I think this year I will keep books I've been holding on all year just to this day since I think the story will keep me awake :)

   This is my first read-a-thon as a "challenger" that's exiting too!!

Anyway, is already 8:02 here, so time to start, let's do this!

This is the place I will start reading today,I guess I will change places during the day,but for now this is it.I'm finishing The Passage by Justin Cronin, and I'm almost done with it. I was supposed to finish it before today, but I couldn't the past nights with my eyes burning like hell.
