Update #3
Took a break at 3pm to shower and go out grocery shopping; by the time I got home, there was only one hour left of the readathon and less than 30 pages left. Finished Awkward Thoughts just as the buzzer rang. After the readathon was done, we did family game night (Munchkin). Tomorrow I will need to catch up on reviews.
Hope everyone participating reached their goals. My next readathon is BoB Cycle 26 (August 19th - 25th).
Closing Survey:
1. How would you assess your reading overall? 12 hours of reading done and that is my average; 2 books completed
2. Did you have a strategy/did you stick with it? No, I was just going to finish up what I had already begun reading. This "non-strategy" thing worked.
3. What was your favorite snack? Seeded bagel with cream cheese lox mixture.
4. Want to volunteer? Nope.

Update #2
I got all of five minutes of reading when I feel asleep. Woke up and started reading again at 8am, so it is now 7 hours of reading in the books. I'm at the 50% mark on Awkward Thoughts and probably get it done by the end of the readathon.
I am waiting to roll my next turn for BL-opoly (which is looking like it would be my final book for this year's edition) until after the readathon is over. Thanks to MR and OB for another fun game. I will also write up and post day 3 of the pre-party prompt after the readathon. Trying to stay away from electronic distractions and actually get some reading done.

Update #1
Just before 1am here and finished In Perfect Time and three loads of laundry. Pretty productive. Now I am going to make some tea, get a snack, and hunker down with The Awkward Thoughts of W. Kamau Bell.
Also had to block a spammer bot.

Got off to late start...kids and dog needed baths.
So opening survey, now (slightly) new and improved!
1)What fine part of the world are you reading from today? And what time is it where you are? Wichita, Kansas and almost 9pm
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? In Perfect Time by Sarah Sundin which will finish the Wings of the Nightingale trilogy
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to? We had Mongolian Grill for dinner, so I am stuffed. Really don't want to think about food right now. Maybe in the wee hours of the morning I will eat a couple of Kind mini-bars. Drinking lots of ice cold water, will switch to black tea when I start getting sleepy.
4) Do you have a #reversereadathon plan of attack? Read for two hours, post updates at the 2 hour mark and try to stay awake.
5) Are you doing the readathon solo or with others? Doing the readathon with however on BL is doing it too. Introverts Unite! (In our own homes).
