Opening Meme
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
Wisconsin
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley — read by Dan Stevens
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
I don’t really snack during readathons but I always make sure I have plenty of coffee creamer on hand.
4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
I’ve been 29 since 2014. I have read Harry Potter every year since I was eleven. When I was 2 my go-to outfit was my Snow White costume.
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?
Audiobooks are my best friends during readathons, I plan on utilizing that today. As for something I would do differently, I need to remind myself that going to sleep at 11 does not equal a failed 24 hour readathon — the point is to have fun!
I hope you enjoy your reads. You’re one if the few without the snacks!
