1. What are you reading right now? Orphan Black Vol. 1, Winger, and Let's Pretend This Never Happened
2. How many books have you read so far? Just these, haven't finished one yet
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon? Reading more of Winger
4. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those? Just myself and staying focused.
5. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far? I'm just glad I'm getting at least a little reading done :)

Dewey 24 RAT

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

California :)

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

I didn't create a stack because whoa reading slump ("stack" above if a very small sample of potential books), but I'd like to maybe read a few graphics I have picked out.

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?

Red vines

4) Tell us a little something about yourself!

In keeping with read a thon tradition I didn't sleep well last night, but I'm pretty ok with the fact that I slept in.

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 don't really have a clear cut plan? I figured since reading has been difficult lately I'd just let myself grab whatever sounded good at the time, even if that means flitting around more then usual.

Bout of Books RAT

I'm joining Bout of Books weeklong read a thon. I've decided to not make any plans and just see what I feel like reading as I go along, but have a few library books I'd like to finish.

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, May 11th and runs through Sunday, May 17th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 13 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
