Good morning all! I am so excited this day it here. While as always something has come up that is going to take me away for a few hours, I love readathon day! I am a cheer captain this year and cheering as always. I don’t know what I am going to get through as far as book but I know that I will enjoy every minute of the day! On to the intro survey!
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
I am reading from Michigan. I live in a smaller town about a hour north of Detroit. Today is it a cool 45 degrees this morning. But the sun is out!
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
Drowning by Rachel Firasek – I love her work and can’t wait to read my ARC!
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
Well right now I am eating some amazing berry oatmeal and later today I have apples with caramel dip.. a fall favorite!
4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
Well, I am a midthrities mom of 2 preteen boys. My husband does at least part of the readathon with me each time. I love book, reading and well just all of it. I LOVE penguins as you can see by my blog.
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?
I am not going to be worried about the fact that I have to be away for a while. I am just going to enjoy myself and not compare myself to others. I am going to stick to my plan of cheering for 10 minutes of every hour I am reading!
Have fun and I will talk to you all in a hour! Go #TeamOtter!

Hour 7 mini challenge:
Hours later, Mac went in the door across from the car where Jethro broke Keiley. There was something oddly intimate about the way his couch had ran his wall around Keiley after Mac left the tv. Something Mac hadn’t drove before with all the other xbox they had spent the night with.

Man, GREAT job on the cheering front. Congratulations!
I think it is good to keep in mind not to compare your self with others. Just do what you can do. I need to keep that in mind for the next one.
