1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? Wisconsin US
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? Hmm hard choice, I don't think I can pick 1!
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to? The sour cream glazed donuts
4) Tell us a little something about yourself! I'm a 34 yr old dog lover.
5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to? I believe this is my 6th readathon, I've gotten it down pretty good I think, I hope to go to bed by 11pm to be able to read more during the morning hours.
