Opening Survey

1)What fine part of the world are you reading from today? And what time is it where you are? I'm in Utah, and starting at 6:00 p.m.

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? I've heard great things about Daisy Jones & the Six.

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to? Popcorn - and I might have to indulge in some ice cream tomorrow.

4) Do you have a #reversereadathon plan of attack? This is my first #reversereadathon, so I'll have to strategically plan my sleeping tonight in order to read all day tomorrow!

5) Are you doing the readathon solo or with others? It's just me but I don't feel alone with all my fellow readers around the world (especially on Goodreads).

24in48 Readathon

24in48 is coming up in one month. Would I like an excuse to read all weekend? Why yes, thank you!! I'll be back in a few weeks with the stack.

ETA 7/18/19: And here it is! The reason it's such a giant stack is that it also includes books I'll be reading for Dewey's Reverse Readathon in 2 weeks (as well as in-between reading). Ready to go tomorrow at 10:00 p.m. MST!
