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.
Right here on Smiling Shelves, as well as on Litsy (@smilingshelves).

I hope you love the next Incorrigible Children book!

And I signed up! Literally in the middle of the night after little man woke up and I couldn't fall back to sleep LOL I don't even have a stack but I'm sure I'll find something to read. Realizing I could participate just on Litsy helped my decision. I took Twitter off my phone because it's too much of a time suck and I don't generally use my Instagram for blogging. But Litsy I can do. And I don't think I'm even going to bother timing myself -- no way I hit anywhere near 24 hours.

Have fun and I hope the weather clears up!

I'm so glad you decided to participate! It's been fun to follow Litsy all day. I've given up on Twitter, too, so Litsy is my happy place. I hope you get some reading in this weekend (and that your little guy sleeps, too)! :)

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at [email protected].
