Dewey's 24-Hour Readathon Mid-Event Survey

It’s time for Dewey’s 24-Hour Readathon Mid-Event Survey!
1. What are you reading right now? The audiobook Final Girls by Riley Sager and The Cupid War by Timothy Carter
2. How many books have you read so far? 1
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Readathon?  I’m torn because I picked up John Green's new book today and I'm itching to start it too.
4. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those? This has been a really bad day for me to do a readathon. I didn't have my books already picked out, I had to work this morning so I wasn't able to start until after noon, I didn't pick up snacks or caffiene(yikes) and I've been playing catch up. Not my best day of reading, unfortunately.  
5. What surprises you most about the Readathon, so far? I've enjoyed visiting other blogging sites, watching their progress and participating in the mini challenges.

This challenge is showing my age!
1970's- Trixie Belden Mysteries
1980's- V.C. Andrews Series
1990's- Dean Koontz, Stephen King, and John Saul books
2000's-Janet Evanovich Series, Charlaine Harris Series
2010's Harry Potter Series(for me and my kids)

FIRST MINI-CHALLENGE FOR DEWEY'S 24 HOUR READATHON



Hello, fellow readers! Today is the day! It's Dewey's 24-hour readathon! The first mini-challenge is the opening survey. Here's a little about me.
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
I’m reading from a small town in Idaho
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
The Murders of Molly Southbourne by Tade Thompson
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
Twizzlers and Coke
4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
I haven’t been doing my reading blog for the last two years. I’m looking forward to blogging and reconnecting with the blog community. I’ve missed it.
5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? 
I haven’t done readathon in a few years-looking forward to participating. I plan to read as much as I can-I'm sticking to short books and novels, mostly because it looks impressive. LOL 

DEWEY'S 24 HOUR READ-A-THON

DEWEY'S 24 HOUR READ-A-THON


I'm participating in Dewey's 24 hour Read-A-Thon this year. If you want to pop in and say hi here's a link to the site--http://www.24hourreadathon.com I'm really excited because I haven't done this in a few years. It's 9:00am here in Idaho and I haven't set the bar too high being that I have to work half the day. So I'm starting with an audio of Final Girl's by Riley Sager so I can listen while I work and if it gets slow I'll be reading The Murders of Molly Southbourne by Tade Thompson.
And my first hour begins now-
