We are halfway there! I started late so I am not feeling too bad. I am a second shifter so my second wind will kick in after a bit. Dinner is finishing up in the crockpot- Chicken and dumplings. Reading all day is a luxury for me nowadays so I am in heaven!

Mid-Event Survey

1) How are you doing? Sleepy? Are your eyes tired? The eyes are a bit tired but I am very captivated by the book I am reading which is I'll Be Seeing You by Suzanne Hayes and Loretta Nyhan

2) What have you finished reading? I finished Sarah's Key

3) What is your favorite read so far? It's a toss up between both of the books I have been reading.

4) What about your favorite snacks? Cheesy, garlic grits...I could live on them!

5) Have you found any new blogs through the readathon? If so, give them some love! I have found many new ones! It would be impossible to list them all!

    1. I'll have to see the movie version of Sarah's Key. The book was riveting. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the movie, Kathy. Sometimes the movie versions of books are not as good.

    Here's a quote to keep you going!
