Hi there! I'm an hour and 125 pages into my first Readathon, and I'm loving The Sugar Queen so far (I've just reached a twist in the plot, and am glad that I didn't see it coming from page one - page 71 maybe, but that's pretty dang good for me).
Here's the Dewey's Readathon Introduction meme that's going around:
Where are you reading from today? I'm reading from bed, at the moment, but I might switch it up later and head to the chaise or the couch.
3 facts about me … I'm living with my parents, one sister (out of 5), and three chronic illnesses; I have no idea how to decorate the my new space, but I like to cut out pictures of places that I'll never be able to afford to decorate like; and I like pigs in a blanket (the only snack I have pre-prepared for today's challenge).
How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours? I've started off with a stack of 9, but there's about 12 others on a shelf four steps away.
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)? I do: at least three books, so I can do my first charitable donation; I'd like to do at least 12 hours, which seems entirely feasible so long as the people in my house cooperate; and I'm going to participate as much as I can online!
If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, Any advice for people doing this for the first time? Sorry: I'm a first timer!
Alright, I'm back to the North Carolina mountains, and some mesmerizing stories.

Welcome to the read-a-thon! Enjoy these first few hours-they'll fly by! I'm sure you'll do great. :D
I loved The Sugar Queen when I read it a while ago!
Hope you are enjoying your first readathon!
Wow, 124 pages in an hour?? You are a fast reader! That would be so cool - my TBR stacks are a bit overwhelming!
