Mid-Event Survey:
1. What are you reading right now? The 100 Day 21
2. How many books have you read so far? Not a single one, but I've made a good dent in The Shadow Rising and The 100.
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon? I'm probably going to read Pretty Deadly (Graphic Novel)
4. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those? I have had many and I've been pretty cool with them. I'm old, so sitting still for long periods of time is kind of hard on the ole skeleton. Also, I've been brought food on occasion so....YAY!

I have a feeling this might be my last hour....
Yup, this is it for me. I'm tired and ready for bed. I'm quite pleased with myself. This has been a great day for me! I read 2 books, got a nice chunk into The Shadow Rising. I won a door prize and got my book swap package! I'm super happy with today! It's been fun, but I'm out! Goodnight everyone!
