Wow you rocked it Dannii! What do you think of Lanny? It’s on my tbr- I’ve heard a lot of positive buzz about it.

Oh, Dewey's! How I've missed you. This is the perfect time to tune out the world and do nothing but read, for 24 hours.

..."Oh The Outsiders is a good, short book for a readathon! I didn't know Big Fish was a book! I loved the movie, though it's pretty long.

I've never actually seen the film so hopefully I can watch it after the readathon, if I get around to reading it :)
Yes! Love the book and the movie!
Vicki Willis wrote: "Yes! Love the book and the movie!"Ooh that's promising. Hopefully I will love them both, too :D
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? Sunny Wales in Britain2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? My reread of We Were Liars
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to? Apple cider vinegar crisps. YUM!
4) Tell us a little something about yourself! I've finished writing my first novel and am currently seeking an agent. Fingers crossed!
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've prepped lots of rereads for today's event, as I know they are books I love and will be quicker to power through as I know the stories.

Haha.

Thanks, Elyse. How did the readathon go for you? The Van Apfel Girls was a great readathon pick. It was super intriguing and quite dark. A solid 4 star read for me.
