25.Oct.2009 Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-a-thon: Hour 11
Yes, I signed up for the 24 hour read-a-thon, but over the past week I wasn’t sure if I could participate, because there are so many things happening on the day! (not going over them because it would be too long) I may not be able to participate the whole 24 hours, but I’m reading, and I’m enjoying the activities. Yay!
As I knew I couldn’t read for the full 24 hours today, I started reading a bit more yesterday (Saturday my time, and today is Sunday).
I’m still reading Dracula, page 287 out of 444 (I don’t think I can finish it today).
I’ve finished American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang.
And for the past hour I’ve been reading Bayou by Jeremy Love (read online here). I can’t believe it’s all available online! I’ve been coveting this graphic novel since Nymeth’s review (or maybe even before that? I can’t remember). Anyway, so far it’s been excellent! Jeremy Love is sooo talented!
Tips: Read in full screen to get the most out of the pretty art!
This brings me to the mini-challenges. I got to find Bayou from Nymeth’s Time for Comics mini-challenge. She asked us to spend 10 minutes reading webcomic and I have spent almost an hour because it is so good. I guess I’m just a sucker for comics! From the list on her site, I’m familiar with Penny Arcade and xkcd as video game lovers and geeks should be. I am sure going to check out more later!
Oh another interesting mini-challenge (though I was late) is Where in the World is the Read-a-thon? ~! It’s so fun to see where everybody is around the world! I pinpointed myself and couldn’t believe there’s no participant from Australia! (There are even a couple from NZ) Where are you Aussies?
ps: I slept for the first 8 hours of read-a-thon. Well, I talked to hubby in the first hour, tried to read before sleep, and slept a sentence later.
