3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?  The Dark Divine

4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day?  not really

5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?  of course...I have 7 and 8 year old boys and a husband who doesn't have a clue...LOL! How do I deal?  As patiently as possible!.
 
6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?  Nothing really...I participated in the fall.

7. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? none whatsoever!

8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year?  I'm hoping next time I won't have a book sale since I can't resist.  I need to try to be more dedicated!

9. Are you getting tired yet?  nope

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?  none...sorry! I'm not the best read-a-thon mentor. =O)

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. It means so much.

I apologize for word verification, but as soon as I changed the settings from only users with Google accounts, I started receiving a ton of spam comments...within one hour of changing the settings. The bots are on high alert apparently.

  1. You are doing great, Michelle! Especially despite all of your distractions. Keep up the good reading!
