1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? Southeastern Wisconsin, USA

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? I look forward to finishing The Therapist by B.A. Paris & starting The Bromance Book Club (Bromance Book Club, #1) by Lyssa Kay Adams

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to? Hmm, so many, LOL, I guess my churro donut holes

4) Tell us a little something about yourself! This is my 10th readathon! I love to participate every time! I'm depressed at the moment, so I'm not sure how much reading I'll get done, but I still love to join in!

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 might not be as focused on my reading this time.
