Good morning Read-a-thoners!! And welcome to Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-a-thon!

There now, wasn’t that fun? Don’t you feel energized? Well then, get out there, do this short Introductory Questionnaire, and get to reading! See you in hour 2!!!

My Answers:
1) I’m in sunny and weatherially confused North Carolina!
2) All of them? Okay, that’s cheating. Relish by Lucy Knisley for a start. Since I’m starting there!
3) Guacamole and chips!
4) I read The Graveyard Book at least once a year. Last year, I read it twice.
5) I’m not even sure how many read-a-thons I have participated in. One thing I do know, I need breaks, and I need to go outside a bit. Hopefully it will be beautiful all day long.
Okay, so, I’ll be here for the next four hours if you need me. Check out our Twitter, email, here, etc. Now, go forth, my minions, and read all the books!
