The 24 in 48 Readathon is finally here! I can't wait to dive into my stack of books (and snacks).
Opening Survey
1. Where in the world are you reading from this weekend?
The unpredictable state of Michigan, where I was planning to read outside today, but woke up to rain and thunderstorms.
2. Have you done the 24in48 readathon before?
This is my third time doing this readathon. I like being able to sleep, while still getting lots of reading in. :)
3. Where did you hear about the readathon, if it is your first?
I think I initially heard about it on Twitter last year.
4. What book are you most excited about reading this weekend?
The Hidden Gallery by Maryrose Wood, which is the second book in the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series. That's the book I'm starting out with, although maybe I should have saved the anticipation for later in the day!
5. Tell us something about yourself.
I'm now a stay-at-home mom, although before that, I taught for ten years. My amazingly wonderful husband is taking care of my one-year-old son today so that I can read to my heart's content!
6. Remind us where to find you online this weekend.
