Anyway! So yes, that is where I shall be for the next few hours. However! Small children will be at this event, and my belief is that small children go to bed early, and ALSO I have washing out on the line that really needs to be brought in before dark. Ipso facto (is that even a thing? Am I even using it right?) there will be a bit of reading when I get home, although its sobriety is questionable (there will be wine. Even though my friend is all pregnant. I'm a pretty terrible human.)
THINGS I SHALL BE READING IF I EVER GET THE CHANCE TO READ: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, cause I finally stopped waiting for my paper copy to come back to me and just bought the kindle version already (mini because: children's book!) and if I get bored of/finish that (both of which are unlikely) I have Song of Susannah which is a Dark Tower book (mini because: it's the second smallest book in that series of giant books. And it still has over 200 pages. Mannnn.)
I have no mini-snacks because I am the worst, but I am mini-participating which I think is fully in the spirit of the event. If I get the chance I will tweet some words at you guys, but if not, have fun reading, I'll be back somewhere towards the late-middle/early-end.
Ahaha drunk minithoning sounds like a wonderful way to take part in this thing. Well done with the mini-participating. That's the spirit!
ReplyDeleteHalf-assing it really is in the spirit of the minithon. Long may we live to sorta kinda do stuff if we can be bothered.
DeleteAnd now the minithon has an official motto
Delete^^ this is incredible, you guys. BRAVO!
DeleteThat's going on the club jackets I'll make if I ever get around to it.
DeleteThe minithon pledge of allegiance.
DeleteAhahaha we are so bad at 'thons, but look how hard we try!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so the key to being a vegetarian at a BBQ is to bring your own veggie burgers. But you should know that there's a strange phenomenon wherein everyone who's been eating meat all day suddenly and inexplicably begins craving a veggie burger and then will EAT YOURS. I've gotten in fights with strangers over this.
Failure of the Minithon is literally not an option. It's built into the "rules." This is definitely the book blogging version of "everyone gets a trophy."
ReplyDeleteI trust your mini participation and your ipso facto usage. Have fun today! Also I just saw you have a post called "Walt Whitman's Disturbing Sex Poetry" so obviously I have to read that before anything else.
ReplyDeleteDrunk post-BBQ mini-minithon? Yes and yes.
ReplyDeleteYour reading choices are great! Harry Potter seems especially ideal for minithon. I was going to say that owls are pretty mini but they are more on the big side in the bird world so I take it back.
It's true, I have yet to befriend a gentleman book-blogger! Where are they???
ReplyDeleteFantastic reading choices, and even if you didn't get around to minithonning hardcore, it's all good - if there's anything I learned about our reading community, it's that we're a pretty chill group of people :)
