“What do you like best about readathons? Do you have any readathon traditions or rituals? If this is your first readathon, what do you like so far?"
Answer:
Thing I love most about read-a-thons is the motivational part of it. Something about having a deadline and trying to see how much you can get done, brings out my competitive side and I read like crazy. I don’t really have any traditions for read-a-thons and this is my 3rd.

Question of the Day:
(I chose Part 2!)
PART TWO: Answer all of these "this or that" questions.
Physical book or eBook? Physical book definitely! Though eBooks can be convenient!
Paperback or Hardcover? Paperbacks all the way!
Reality or Make-believe? Both. But if I have to choose, make-believe.
Adult or Young-Adult? Definitely both no way can I pick one or the other
Dog ears or Bookmarks? BOOKMARKS!!! Dog earring is an evil practice and should be abolished
Breaking the spine or Barely open the book? Barely opening. For my opinion on spine breaking see above.
Tea or Coffee? Tea. Coffee is disgusting and stinky
Reading in bed or On the couch? Bed
Series or Standalone? Series! Always love to hear more about my fav characters!
Original or TV Adaptation? Original
Defy motion sickness or Audiobooks? I hate audiobooks but motion sickness is a problem so neither
Author crushes or Who-was-that-guy-again? Kinda confused by this question. I don't have actual crushes on authors but I do have my favs!
Interview or Guest post? Interview.

Question of the Day:
What do books and shoes have in common you might be asking? Not much, but I know that people obsess over books and they obsess over shoes. Why not put them both together?!
Take any book you like and match up a character in the book OR the cover of the book to a shoe.

Glad you found us and decided to join the fun! Good luck with your reading this week!
Awesome progress so far!! Im only 45% into one book so far, but i did have a late start lol
@bookbiterreviews-Thanks! And 45% is still pretty good! One of the main reasons I got so much done is that my sis decided we should read at the same time and see how much we could get done!
