Today is Dewey's Read-a-thon, and I will be participating as a reader and a cheerleader this year (Go Team Froot Loops!). I have a lot of stuff to take care of today so I am going to try reading/cheering every other hour, probably not checking in again until hour 4 or so. I also have to take my cat to the vet and organize a few closets.
Introduction Meme...
1)Where are you reading from today?
Today I am reading from my living room in Queens, NY
2)Three random facts about me…
When I was younger, I was really into horseback riding.
One of my cats has his own bedroom... don't ask.
I am hoping to start a greeting card business soon.
3)How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?
I pulled 4 off my shelf today (picture below) but I am also reading one on my kindle and might borrow a few from the library on my kindle as well.
4)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)?
Hadn't really thought about it, but I guess I would like to read at least one book and cheer on at least 100 people. Hopefully that is manageable!
5)If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time?
This is my third or fourth, my advice is to have a few short books on hand so that you can read them quickly and keep motivated!
Good luck to everyone reading!
