Observations:
It's really nice to change up the location of your reading. Makes it seem much less of a "block" of time. Lucky me, it is gorgeous out today so I've spent a fair amount of time in the sun.

Also, short stories are really good for pacing yourself between longer stretches of novel reading. I'm still working my way through Ray Bradbury; should finish it in this next block of time. Fortunately I have many short story collections if I need another. It's also nice to finish something!

At Readathon Central, Danielle's posted a song to keep us all going. Here is a song I'd say represents good advice for readathon day: stay home and sit around!
