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?

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!

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!
