Mid-Event Survey:
1. What are you reading right now?
I just finished Dewey's Nine Lives and will be picking up Crescendo.
2. How many books have you read so far?
I have finished 2 books
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?
Backseat Saints(audiobook)
4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day?
Not really..my kids are older so they pretty much do their own thing on the weekend anyway. I just had to get snacks in order.
5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?
I have had tons of interruptions...the dogs especially and a few phone calls. I learned to grab my book as I go out the door with the dogs. I kept the phone conversations short.
6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?
I am surprised at how much I am getting read considering I started the day out tired. I feel pretty good yet too which is very surprising.

I say if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Next time I will try to get more sleep the night before.

Not tired yet!

I can't think of tips as of yet...
