1. What are you reading right now? Fade To Black - Heather Kuehl
2. How many books have you read so far? Completed 3 and have 2 still open.
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon? The Dangerous Book For Demons - Angie Fox
4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day? Nah, I been reading off n on most of the day what time I wasn't doing challenges. :)
5. Have you had many interruptions? Yes How did you deal with those? Mom called, Hubby Brought home Dinner, Dogs needed to potty, bathroom breaks.
6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far? That the time is flying by! I had no idea it would go by so fast!
7. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? Heck no I am totally enjoying it as is!
8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year? Line up more books! I honestly had no idea I would complete 1 book let alone 3 so far. I have already had to pull more from my TBR list. I am loving this!
9. Are you getting tired yet? Not really
10. Do you have any tips for other Readers or Cheerleaders, something you think is working well for you that others may not have discovered? No I am having a hard time blogging every hour but no worries since that was not a requirement. :)

This passage is from Do-Over by Niki Burnham Page 87
"I pick up my fork and poke it into a frenchfry. While I munch on it--and wow,salty--I eyeball the hunk of breaded mystery meat on my plate. My dad says it's a schnitzel and Georg tells me I'll like it, but I dunno."

3 facts about me …
I am not a morning person! lol
I love to watch horror movies.
Chinese food is my favorite food.
How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours? 6
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 want to complete all 6 books.
If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, Any advice for people doing this for the first time?

What kind of Horror Movie Are You?
You are a Vampire Movie |
 You believe that evil isn't exactly black and white. In fact, the dark side can be incredibly seductive at times. You like vampire movies because they are more morally ambiguous and complicated. Sometimes it can feel so good to be with someone bad. You like the dance between good and evil. You prefer that the conflict is more nuanced and mental than physical. Your favorite movies portray a complex villain ... films like Blade, Dracula, and Twilight. |
Cat Bowling
Just loved playing this and thought you may like it as well. Cat Bowling
Here's the highest I could get.
