Dewey's Readthon is here! Yes finally! I've been squirming the whole morning, eager to start reading. And now there's not that long time to wait anymore. Here's the first Kick Off Meme:
❄❄❄
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
Scotland, UK - whoop whoop!
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
Looking for Alaska by John Green. I'm not sure if it's a tad bit too long, but I tried to choose books that weren't more than 300 pages long.
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
Well, I think I need to say that in participating in the challenges and reading of course (and eating all my delicious snacks!).
4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
I'm 21 years old psychology student living in the UK. When I'm not reading, I'll be most likely watching either really visually striking or violent movies and TV series like Hannibal, the Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, or just wandering around in the city and drinking coffee. I'm pretty optimistic in general, but there's a hint of sarcastic quality to my personality. People often think that I'm either really shy or arrogant (because I'm quiet around strangers), but usually I just don't know how to contribute to the conversation or I'm too busy thinking about the next book I'm going to read.
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?
I have picked up shorter books and I think I will rely more on the power of caffeine this time! Last time everything went pretty smoothly, so I'll just try to things similarly.
❄❄❄
Oh, it's good to see someone I 'know' a little from other blogging stuff doing this. I'm running an hourly challenge -- hour 16 -- so I hope you'll drop by then!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you are participating as well! :) I will most definitely stop by at your challenge - that's so cool!
DeleteI still need to read Looking for Alaska, someday! Good luck today with the readathon :)
ReplyDeleteIt has been on my wish list and TBR list for so long that I thought now is my chance to read it! :) Thank you for the encouragements - I'm sure I need them!
DeleteI definitely like your taste in tv shows! It's probably too late to jump a plane and head to Scotland to read, right? Because that would be lovely. One of these days I'm going to do Readathon in another country or, at the very least, a quaint bed and breakfast that makes me feel like I'm in another country. Good luck with all the challenges, participating and socializing is the best part of Readathon!
ReplyDeleteIf you like my taste in TV shows I'm sure I will like yours too! ;) Oh that would be so great to do a readathon in another country - you're full of good ideas! Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteHigh five, Game of Thrones! Looking for Alaska might not be super short, but I remember getting through it really quick - it was one of those books you didn't really want to put down. Hope you have a great Readathon. We'll be popping in from #TeamHughes to cheer you on!
ReplyDeleteWell if it's not physically short, I'm glad if it's a gripping one - it doesn't feel too long then! :) Thank you and hope you'll have a great event as well!
DeleteLooking for Alaska is a great choice! I actually forgot my caffeine and had to go out and get some this morning! Have a great readathon! #teamrogue
ReplyDeleteHaha, good that you got a chance to go out before the event actually started! :) Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
DeleteLooking for Alaska is fantastic and a quick read. Excellent choice! Have fun reading! *\o/*
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm really excited about reading it today! Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteHappy reading! I hope you'll enjoy Looking for Alaska, I did :)
ReplyDeleteIt was so different from what I expected it to be, but I did enjoy reading it. :) Thanks for stopping by!
