Avid Reader and Geek Girl’s Comments (group member since Oct 22, 2015)

Avid Reader and Geek Girl’s comments from the Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon group.

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? Wisconsin, USA
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? with everyone else's excitement I'm hyped for Northranger
3) Which snacks are you most looking forward to? My caramel chocoholic donut
4) Tell us a little something about yourself! I'm being joined by my doggie Jedi and my mom
5) What are your goals for this readathon? To read 1 graphic novel, 1 book, and finish at least one book I've already started.

I started with audioARC

I actually started at 5:10 pm here so almost 2 hrs early, but I think I'll probably fall asleep early tonight!

Added one more graphic novel I got from the library! I'm ready and only have 3.5 hrs till we start!

We decided we're going to schedule a Dunkin' Grubhub order for delivery on Saturday morning! Now just to choose what I want to order I'm thinking of a Raspberry Mocha Oatmilk Frozen coffee and a caramel chocaholic donut.

I have a bunch from Briarwick on my wishlist but I've never bought from them, I might have to now. Though TBH I need to use up some of my current ones first. I must have over 100 candles, mostly the little 2oz. Because for awhile I subbed to a bunch of candle boxes (sadly they're all now defunct.)

I loved some of them from Get Fictional, but she can be pricey unfortunately.

My favorite is Novelly Yours, they even sell candles from her shop at my local indie! I loved Flick the Wick but I believe they closed. Frostbeard's Reading at the Cafe is my absolute fav! I have a whole list on Etsy, one of bookish and one of non-bookish candles!

I totally agree Erin. I tried and failed to emulate a few readathons ago, but I absolutely love the idea of the..."

I put a template in the very first message on my thread if you want to copy it and edit it to your liking feel free!

Glad to hear it! I look forward to reading it!
