Dewey's Read-a-thon: At the starting line

Currently reading: (listening to) ELEANOR & PARK by Rainbow Rowell

My responses to the hour zero challenge:

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

From Fulda, Minnesota in the southwestern corner of the state. Very prairie.

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

No idea! I did no advance planning for this readathon.

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?

Pretzel chips and cranberry cream cheese dip.

4) Tell us a little something about yourself!

I'll be working through part of the day. Luckily, I work at the local library.

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?

Last time, I was trying to do the readathon while on a family road trip. So, there was much more forethought put into it - stocking up on audio books, mapping places to eat on the road, and such.

This time, the readathon completely snuck up on me! Seriously. Yesterday, I turned in the last of my tax papers, did a quick grocery shopping, put in time at work, and went to bed early with a migraine. Today, I woke up and panicked about missing this readathon. I signed up at 4 a.m. and am now winging it while getting ready for work. Very adrenaline.
