I decided not to count pages every hour but instead count them at the very end to save some time (and let's face it I'm lazy)
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
I'm reading from Finland and the starting time here is 15:00 on Saturday.
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
I like all of my snacks so can't really choose :D
4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
I'm Book Bunny and I have two bunnies and a dog :)
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 participated so many times I don't even remember! I woun't do anything differently except now I'm participating with my friend!
16:00 -
I spent the first hour studying so I didn't have any fun :D
17:00 -
I started the Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama and some random person. Very interesting but so far kinda disappointing that there are more thoughts and examples from the random person (Howard C. Cutler) than from Dalai Lama :(
18:00 -
Started The Boy in Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne and it's so captivating that I need to continue it right away. bye
19:00 -
Didn't have any time to read because had to take care of some errands.
20:00 -
I took my dog out for a walk and then continued reading. I'm now almost at page 100 in Striped Pyjamas. So far feeling good!

Continued to study and read some more of Striped Pyjamas. It's so sad can't handle it.
00:00 -
I finished Striped Pyjamas and started Zom-B by Darren Shan.
01:00 -
I'm 70 pages in Zom-B. It's one in the morning and I'm thinking on staying up 'till three or four maybe and then catching a little sleep. I need to sleep because I have an exam on Monday so I can't really be sleep deprived then :D
02:00 -
Still going strong and not tired at all! I'm now on page 130 on Zom-B.
Mid-Event Survey:
1. What are you reading right now?
I'm reading Zom-B by Darren Shan and The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler.
2. How many books have you read so far?
I have finished one book.
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?
I really want to finish Zom-B and then start The Catcher in the Rye!
4. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?
Yes I have had a few but most of them were planned. I just did the chores I needed to and then went back onto reading.
5. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?
Well, I actually thought I would have read more by now but I guess I just miscalculated. It's not a big deal to me. The most important thing is to have fun and I am!
03:00 -
Now I'm starting to yawn a lot so I think I'll retire for the night, sleep a couple of hours and then continue reading :) My plan is to wake up at nine in the morning but let's see if that actually happens!
