To recap the April Read-a-Thon 2010, I am immensely glad I had signed up! Although my plans on reading kept being interrupted (plus, the time zone thing got a little funky), I ended up reading for a couple of hours and enjoying the adrenaline that was the Read-a-Thon!
I was only reading one book (didn't finish it), Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. In total, I went through 203 pages in 3 hours and 40 minutes. Not bad, considering I was very tired for most of this time, as well as that the font is INCREDIBLY small in my copy of the book.
I especially wanted to thank the cheerleaders for leaving so many comments on my blog and for keeping the excitement of the Read-a-Thon. Finally, a special thanks to all my book bloggers, whose company I constantly feel grateful for.

April Read-a-Thon 2010 - How I'm Doing
12:15 AM
This is it, book bloggers and blogettes! I am about to start my Read-a-Thon reading! The plan is as follows: It is 12:15 AM here, and I plan to start reading by 12:30. By then, I'm gonna check out the Read-a-Thon page, update my Twitter and perhaps visit a few blogs. Then when I get tired, I'll update this blog post and go to sleep. As soon as I wake up, I am going to make myself a cup of coffee and continue until 3 PM, which is when the Read-a-Thon ends in this timezone. Many thanks for the wonderful cheerleaders and their comment love!

April Read-a-Thon 2010 - Signed Up!
Exciting news! I have just applied to participate in my very first Read-a-Thon! The Read-a-Thon starts at 3 PM here and I am hoping I will manage to read at least for some 5-6 hours. I have an exam tomorrow at 1 PM, so I doubt I'll be able to start right away, but where there's a will, there's a way!
Here's some of the books I might read tomorrow:
Obviously, this is more than I can actually read tomorrow, but I am proud of how diverse this list is, just in case I'm in the mood for any particular genre.
As for updating my progress, I'm definitely going to take the time to write at least one blog post. However, I am still not sure how I'm going to go about doing this, so for now, I think Twitter is the best way to go. If I'm not following you, make sure you let me know and I'll start (there is a Twitter button in the sidebar). We need to be a big happy family tomorrow!
