Two down, Twenty-two to go? Now, that doesn’t sound super-motivating now does it?
What’s the weather like where you are? It’s rainy rainy rainy here today. Which is both good and bad for a Read-a-Thon, I guess. It’s days like this that you want to stay inside and read, right?
We’ve had a suggestion via Facebook that we’re implementing on-the-fly… Someone asked if we could compile a list of books that were read throughout the Read-A-Thon. At first, we were like, “Um, that’s a ton of work, probably not, sorry.”
Then we decided we could create a Google Form and you guys could add to the list for us. So, if you’d like to add what you’re reading to the list, click over to this form and enter the details! We’ll publish the list in a few days to give people time to add the books they’ve defeated.

It is overcast here in central Minnesota and I am happy about that. Yesterday we had our first day that hit the high 50’s which to me was super exciting! I was itching to get outside and actually took my bike out for the first time in 2011.
Today is a perfect day to stay in and read 🙂

Fellow read-a-thoners, I HAVE A MISSION FOR YOU.
I just found a message written in a book I got from the library that appears to be in Norwegian (?). I would love to know what language it actually is, and what it says! If anyone is familiar with Scandanavian languages and would like to help me out, I’d appreciate it. Check out the picture I posted over on my blog!

That was a fun mini-challenge! I’ll add my list of books once this thing is done and dusted. Today in Milwaukee it’s grey, lightly raining, and far too chilly. We’re supposed to get up to 70 degrees, but so far it’s mid-40’s. I don’t know, warm temps and grey skies freak me out a little – it’s tornado weather!
Good thing I”ll be inside today, reading lots and lots of books!

We are in Mineola, TX and will begin posting at 12 noon. Our reading team is made of library patrons and any community member that would like to document what they are reading. The headquarters are at Mineola Memorial Library * 301 N Pacific St * Mineola, TX It’s not to late to join the team here! If you can only participate part-time, no worries … with a team of readers, someone will always be reading something, so we have more time for breaks (if needed).
We may be starting late, but we will still be reading when the challenge ends. We pledge to get in 24 hours of unadulterated reading time!!
