Title of book(s) read since last update:  A Small Furry Prayer (Gave up on it after 211 pages!  Just didn't care anymore)
Number of books read since you started:  None yet
Pages read since last update:  35
Running total of pages read since you started:  35

Running total of time spent reading since you started: (keep track of this one to be eligible for a prize!)  50 minutes

I started an hour and a half late.  But my husband just left for out of town and I had to help him pick out ties and suits.  NOW I can really read.  I just started a book called Quentin, The Miracle Dog.  It's a true story about a dog who survived being euthanized in a gas chamber.  I made it to page 14 without crying. 

Note to self for next Readathon prep:  Have tissues handy.

(Non)traditional Buddhist readathon blessing:

Just as the books fill the shelves,
Pile together on the floor and stack up on the table
So may the joy of the readathon
Flow forth to brighten your day and lift your spirit.
Books already read, books in progress and books yet to be read.

By the power of every word on the page
May your book be delightful,
As scary as Lovecraft’s Cthulhu
Or as sweet as a box of See’s candy.

Let the power of the images evoked by words
Keep you stay awake long through the night
May no obstacle impede
Your day filled with books.

For all of those who are reading today
Who follow in the path of Dewey
May your day be filled with the four blessings
Of fabulous books, tasty snacks, comfy chairs and joy.
I need a tissue just thinking about it. Have a great day of reading. I will check back and see what your challenge was all about. I will be out and about doing tourist stuff in Seattle today,
Sounds like a great book to start off with. Have a great day and happy reading!
