Mid-Event Survey

1) How are you doing? Sleepy? Are your eyes tired?

So far I'm not feeling that tired, although my eyes are a little bit. However, I think that's mostly the cold getting back at me (it's always worst at night)

2) What have you finished reading?

 The passage by Justin Cronin;Cleanup by Norah McClintock; Jersey Angel by Beth Ann Bauman; The Guinea Pig Diaries by A.J. Jacobs

3) What is your favorite read so far?

Is a tie between The Passage  and  The Guinea Pig Diaries

4) What about your favorite snacks?

Not a lot of snacks so far, when I'm sick I don't have much of an appetite

5) Have you found any new blogs through the readathon? If so, give them some love!

A couple, but the one that I liked the most so far (new that is) is Books, Biscuits and Tea. I loved the page design. We don't have reviews in comon which I like because it opens reading horizons.
