These to start and hopefully finish some of them.
Hour One:
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? Texas
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? This one is hard, probably Dead is Just a Dream
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to? Spree Candies
4) Tell us a little something about yourself! I love to read... oh something you don't know... I am am a brand new grandmother.... and I LOVE IT...
5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to? I don't think I got up and moved around enough. Not enough breaks. This time I will do that more often.

Hour 5 Challenge Blackout Poetry from Elizabeth-Michelle
If you can't read it... it says A ghostly whirlwind of danger burned. I screamed. My horror shivered. Paralyzing fear nudged. I passed out.
Hour 7 Challenge Read-a-Thon Mad Libs from Nisaba Be Praised
I asked my mother to help with my Mad Lib.
here it is.
Those were my (purple) words before I (gargled). Poignant,
right? For someone who (runs) books and (stumbles) hours planning her own (dog) ,
you’d think I could have come up with something a little more (rough) . At
least I get a do-over.
Hour 10 Challenge:
Favorite Book Trailer: I went with one of my favorite book series 1st book The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting
Favorite Book Trailer: I went with one of my favorite book series 1st book The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting

3) What is your favorite read so far? Just Like Fate

Hour 13 Challenge Best of Your Reading Year from Lisa’s World of Books
Best Mystery Book of Your Reading Year: Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas
The mystery just kept me guessing. I didn't know what to expect at the end. The suspense was pretty darn good too.
Best Fantasy Book of Your Reading Year: The False Prince by Jennifer A. Neilsen
One of the best High Fantasys I have read. Just hooked my right away.
Best Main Character of Your Reading Year: Lynn from Not A Drop to Drink by Mindy McGinnis
I loved this character. She was tough yet soft, smart yet naive, wise yet innocent.
Loved her..
