Read-a-Thon Time!

This is my first time participating in the Dewey's 24 hour read-a-thon, and I'm having fun with it so far. I started reading at 8am, the EST start time, and read for about half an hour. I had to take some time to get acquainted with Maps, because I've neglected it for far too long.  Then, the hubby and I went to breakfast and ran some errands.

I've been back for a couple hours, and have immersed myself in Emperor Mage, the third book in Tamora Pierce's Immortals series. I'm three quarters of the way done, but I had to take a bit of a break and come up for air. Plus, I realized I hadn't written a post to track my progress for the day :-) I'll be updating this post as the day goes one.

Are you participating in the read-a-thon? How's it going so far?

1:30 Update: Finished Emperor Mage. Participated in my  first mini-challenge over at Reflections of a Bookaholic. Going to read a bit more of Maps.

3:45 Update: Read about 20 pages of Maps. Read Aya of Yop City, a graphic novel by Marguerite Abouet. Did Midnight Book Girl's Book-Staging Mini-Challenge. *My submission* Visited some blogs, encouraged some people on Twitter.

6:45 Update: Read another 20 pages of Maps. Went for a walk. Made & ate dinner. Visited some more blogs. Started The Realm of the Gods, the last of Tamora Pierce's Immortals series. I'm a little less than halfway done. Now the hubby wants to go downtown and listen to some music, so I'll be taking another break.

10:30 Update: Got back home, read more of The Realm of the Gods. On page 270. I'd like to finish it tonight, but I'm tired. Maybe in the morning??
