It's finally here! To start, we've been asked to answer the following questions, sort of a "get to know you" post.
Where are you reading from today? Crawfordville, Florida (a suburb of Tallahassee)
3 facts about me …
I love college football, but luckily my team (Go Gators!) is off this week, so my reading time won't be interrupted by must-see-TV
Whenever I sit down to read, 1 of my 2 beagles has to sit in my lap and look at the book. I think I've trained him to love books, too.
I'm a ParrotHead.
How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours? 4 novels, 1 nonfiction, and 5 books of short stories
Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)? I'd like to increase my number of hours -- 13 last time. My original goal had been to finish at least 3 books, but I changed my book choices at the last minute, so that threw a monkey wrench into those plans.
If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, Any advice for people doing this for the first time? Take several breaks or you'll wear yourself out. Mix up your reading choices -- you want to keep it interesting and not fry your brain. If you don't meet your goals, don't worry. This is supposed to be fun, no one's going to grade you:)

happy reading!
I haven't actually started reading yet, been too busy visiting other blogs and doing the 1st mini-challenge. Had to give my brain a chance to wake up:) Time to get started!
Thanks for the advice -- I suspect I'll need it toward the end of the time.
My MIL is a Florida alum, so we also root for the Gators -- and cringe every time we see an FSU win!
