First Mini-Challenge

Where are you reading from today?

I am reading on the living room sofa to start the day.



3 facts about me …

1 I live in New York
2 I love music. All different kinds of music.
3 I Love shoes. At last count I had 55 pairs.

How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?

There are 47 books in my TBR pile.



Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)?

No goal just the joy of reading for such a long stretch.



If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, Any advice for people doing this for the first time?

I am a read-a-thon virgin.

  2. Welcome to the read-a-thon! Have fun. Take breaks when you need to, participate in a couple of mini-challenges and it helps to visit other readers every so often as well so as not to feel isolated. Read away.

  5. It's great that you have so many books to choose from. I'm starting to think I have far too few.

  11. I'm new to the read-a-thon thing too. But this seems like tons of fun...I'm so excited. Me...I'm a purse girl...I have way too many & I found a new brown Kate Spade one that I love love love...I'm trying to convince my step-dad and mom that I want it for my birthday/christmas filled with books (I'm even willing to let this count as one big present since I'm a December baby)

    HAPPY readings!!!
