Dewey's Read-A-Thon: To Read or Not To Read

Over the last several weeks, I have been debating participating in today's read-a-thon.  I participated a couple of years ago and did not have much luck.  I tend to like the week-long read-a-thons better because I have more success (though this last one was a total bust!).  However, this morning I am feeling like today is the day to participate!  I am going to give it another try. Though I may not update often, I will try to post at least one around the half-way point and a wrap-up when all is said and done.

To kick things off this morning, I will start with the introduction survey . . .

1.  What fine part of the world are you reading from today?

The Midwest, as usual, but if you usually follow me, you will know that I am in the St. Louis area these days!

2.  Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?

Since I just decided to join in today, I really have not even gathered up my stack!  I really am just looking forward to catching up on The Passage by Justin Cronin for #TuesBookTalk, maybe reading Fables #7 by Bill Willingham, and maybe a short or two by Joe Hill in 20th Century Ghosts.  BUT, I am not limiting myself and may stray a bit from this list!

3.  Which snack are you most looking forward to?

As I mentioned, I am not prepared!  I do not even know what my options may be!!

4.  Tell us a little something about yourself!

I am going to stick with my usual description in 140 characters or less:  Book lover, literacy advocate, full-time academic advisor, part-time blogger, freelance writer, Armchair BEA co-founder/organizer, wife, & mother of 2.  BUSY!

5.  If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what's one thing you'll do different today?  

The last time I participated was a couple of years ago.  This time around, I hope to just read and relax, not be so structured or stressed about following the structure.  Today will be my day of reading and relaxation!!

Tell Me:  Are you reading today for Dewey's Read-A-Thon?  What's on your list?
