Blrrrrg...so early...props to the kiddos who woke me up with their argument over which dvd to start the day (Star Wars vs. Angelina Ballerina).
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? Rurality of Dripping Springs, TX. It's cloudy and should rain at some point today.
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? Mirror, Mirror, by Gregory Maguire. I think it's the only one of his fairytale "series" I haven't read yet.
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to? There are some chocolate shortbread sandwich cookies from IKEA, acquired from a friend, that may not survive the morning.
4) Tell us a little something about yourself! I'm a SAHM to Boy, 7, and Grrl, 4. Boy is working on expanding his functionality on the Autism Spectrum. Grrl is working on her overlord (lady?) destiny. Helping them with their respective goals is my first priority, but I have been making more and bigger efforts to write.
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? This is my first Readathon...so glad that it's still here! I'm looking forward to the time alone to concentrate on the writing aspect, and to venturing "out" to visit new friends.
And now, it is time to get everyone dressed and head over to the YMCA so I can listen to my first book of the day (Mark of Athena), do my qigong practice, and start this week's reading assignment for The Graveyard Book.

Glad to have you joining in for your first readathon!!! And hello from another Texan. I'm about 45 mins outside of Dallas.
Great to "meet" you!

It's great to hear you're trying to find a way to get your writing going while helping the kids. Balance is a great thing. Have a fab readathon :D
Sounds like you're off to a great start on your first Readathon. Keep up the reading!
Hope you're having fun and that the kiddos are letting you read! Good work!
Thanks everyone! Have been catching up on the mini-challenges, and I'm about to get back to the books. Husband has taken the kids outside until 5:30 for chores, so we'll see how much I can ingest.
Hope you are having fun and are able to get a few hours of reading in today.
