4. Have you finished any books so far in this half of the Readathon? I finished Tilt by Emma Pattee, but I tend to be a mood reader so I jump between several books during read-a-thons
5. Are you on track to finish what you want to this weekend? What are your plans for the next 12 hours? I won't beat my best time, which was originally my goal. But I still love just sitting and reading for blocks of time. So, that is what I plan to do over the remainder of the time left.

I've been reading little bits for short periods of time, as I've been ill. :(
