First up is
Pumpkin Roll by Josi Kilpack
Intro Meme
1)Where are you reading from today? New Providence, PA
2)Three random facts about me… My birthday was on Monday, I am about to become a grandma any day now, I will be married for 27 years in May
3)How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours? I have 5 and will be glad if I get two done
4)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)? No goals really just to have fun
5)If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time? I have done the read a thon a couple of times, never done the whole 24 hours but my advice is to just to have fun.
9:00 am
I only got to read for about a half an hour this last hour. I have decided that I will listen to an audio book while I do things on the computer and when I take breaks that way I will get more done. The book I am listening to now is
The Measure of Mercy by Lauraine Snelling. This is a wonderful series that is actually several series in one.
10:00 am

11:00 am I just finished Pumpkin Roll. It was great. I will be starting
1225 Christmas Tree Lane by Debbie Macomber
12:00 pm I got absolutley nothing read this last hour. I got a phone call from my hubby so had to talk to him and daughter #1 called and Son texted so I decided to have lunch. i have been listening to my audio book for about the last 10 minutes though so I guess i got some done.
This hours mini challenge was to share how we like to share books. I share on here of course and occasionally on my family blog. I share books that I have read with several friends and with out church. My hubby and I like to listen to the same book and talk about them. Happy reading everyone.
1:00 pm I took a short nap. I am fighting a cold and I felt like I needed to rest for a little while. Still reading the above books.
2:00 pm I got a little more read of Christmas Tree Lane. I will probably be able to finish it this hour.
3:00 pm Like I thought I finished 1225 Christmas Tree Lane . Next up is
Wedding Day Murder by Leslie Meier.
Happy reading everyone!!
4:00 pm Have gotten a good start to the above book. No mystery yet but alot of things happening that could be setting up for one.
5:00 pm Don't know how much more reading I will get done. Hubby is coming home (he has been gone for 5 days) so I should spend some time with him. I hope to get a little more in this evening. hope everyone is getting alot of reading done. I will probably update at least once more at the end of the time. Everybody have a great night!!
7:00 pm Okay enough catching up with my hubby. He's tired so he will headed to bed soon. I hope to make it until at least 12:00 am so back to reading for me.
