read-a-Thon, Hours 15-16

I've been really...let's call it bipolar, this last two hours.  I'm feeling hyper, then I wanna sleep, then hyper again, then sleeping, and so on. But I've got methods. 


Staying awake method #1


1. Grab a glass and fill it with ice
2. Put two chunks of ice in your eyes
3. Out a piece of ice in your shirt
4. Put another piece in your pants
5. Rub it in your feet
That ought to keep you awake.


Be back later for more staying awake tips.

Read-a-Thon, Hours 13-14

Finished another book, yay me! Having an awesome time and sadly it's getting harder for me to stay awake. But sleep won't beat me, it won't! I've decided to read a short book as kind of a 'resting time' but then I'll read another one that's a little bit longer.

Now, gonna read Percy Jackson. Been reading for 6 hours and I'm starting to feel tired, but sleep won't beat me! Thanks for everyone's cheers. Right now, I'm reading and listening to my suer Read-A-Thon playlist. Since it's a 24 hour playlist I can't list all of the songs but some artists include: Carrie Underwood, Paramore, Evanescence, Julianne Hough, The Fray, OneRepublic, Green Day, Eminem, Florence & The Machine, Daughtry, Collbie Caillat, Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson and many others. 


Right now, gonna have a little snack, but i own't stop reading, no sir :) 


Ahh, nothing better than a comfortable reading place, books and to baby bottle pops 
Now back to reading, but I think I'll spend a little time in the hot tub, reading a relaxing, the perfect combination.

Read-a-Thon, Hours 1-2

So far I've been on a highway and it's kind of hard to read while in a car, but I've managed. Here's my progress so far: 


Reading: Cracked Up To Be
Author: Courntey Summers
Pages read so far: 44 out of 214  


Now I'll answer some questions


1)Where are you reading from today?
Mexico! Part of it in a car, then I'll read in my room  :)

2)Three random facts about me…
I'm entomophobic, I am addicted to fruit punch powerade and I love chiles 

3)How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?



4)Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)?
I wanna read 5 books


5)If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time?
It's my first time soo...

24 Hour Read-a-Thon

Yeah, people! Tomorrow I'll spend 24 hours reading. I couldn't imagine a better way to spend my Saturday (yes, call me weird). I'm ready! I've got my books, I've got a playlist and I've got food. Now all I need is a little caffeine so I can stay awake, especially after a week of projects at school. I will be actually spending the whole day reading. I'm planning to read 4 books:

Cracked Up To Be by Courtney Summers
Percy Jackson book 2 by Rick Rordan
Tithe by Holly Black
Spiked by Sandra Glover

I will be posting here which books I've finished and will be twitting every hour to report my progress. Looking forward to tomorrow.
