Hour 1 Complete!

My lack of sleep is already a problem. I started falling asleep around 8:30 and had to grab a trail mix bar and get into a less comfy position!

Now for some mini-challenges…

Introduction Challenge

1)Where are you reading from today?

Toledo, Ohio

2)Three random facts about me…

1. Yesterday I submitted my thesis for my master’s degree in biology (I studied environmental microbiology).

2. I have 8 cats…none of which I intentionally purchase…they just needed homes. Three of them are siblings (just over a year old) and their mom lives with us too.

3. I’m a gamer…dungeons and dragons, board games, console games, computer games, card games…I’m there.

3)How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?

12

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)?

Read a lot! I know…vague. It’s my first marathon and I usually don’t read for more than an hour or so at a time. So spending a whole day dedicated to reading, no matter how much I get done, will be considered a success.

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

I’m a newbie!

I also completed the second mini-challenge which involved pinning your location on a map!
