total bust as I left to go get Chinese Food ( iI just get these cravings some times).  Plan to spen the rest of the hour checking out other blogs and after hour 5 mini challenge is posted it will be back to the reading.

Hour 3

Well i got alittle reading done in The General and Monaville, Texas.  It is for a review.  I think that I will change books every hour to keep things fresh unless I get to a really good part so this hour will be Necessary Heartbreak. 

I am not going to participate in the meme this hour because I need to get back to reading but I did visit the bloggs that were featured.

Happy Reading everyone.

Not much reading done last hour except other blogs LOL.

This hours challenge is what we are surrounding ourselves with.  I am surrounding myself with my books and my nice comfy bed. 
Happy reading everyone.

Read A Thon

As a last minute thing last night I decided to join the read a thon.  I will be doing the read a thon lite though as one of the blogs I follow put it.  I will read but will not be doing it hard core. 

Here is a mem for hour 1

Where are you reading from today? I am reading in Lancaster Coutny PA




3 facts about me … 1.  I have alwasy loved to read 2. I am a total book junkie 3. I have homeschooled all three of my kids



How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours? Three  I know that isn't as many as others but I will be happy if I read one



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)?
Not really since I did this on the spur of the moment.


If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, Any advice for people doing this for the first time?


good luck to everyone on their goals
