Never had it but I love cranberry and vodka so add some berries and it sounds good.

Hour 10: 

Mini Challenge: Plan a Bookish Party 

I am going to stick with the Wicked Lovely inspiration 

Setting: 

Garden at night with fairy lights strung throughout. There  is a low to the ground table with pretty flower center pieces and vases with sparklers. 

Music with be band of fairies (or musicians) that play string and wind instruments with a woodsy feel to the notes. 

There will be lots of dancing and swinging on the tree swings, and of course just playing around. 

Menu:

For drinks we have Fairy Wine (see above) 

Finger foods such as avocado and fruit salad 

and mini jam sandwiches/mini cheese and cucumber sandwiches 

strawberries and chocolate fondue for desert (from a fondue fountain)

 

 

Update: 

Today I had some previous engagement so I am just now getting  home from and now I have an errand to run. Then I wil come back and plow down to reading.

I will be attempting to finish these books first.

 30 percent done   62/240 pages done. 

Hour 1: 
Mini Challenge- 100 years. 

My guess for 3 books that will be classics in 100 years. I think these books fit because the writing, the content, and the popularity. All these books have great discussion points and speak a strong story.

1. What are you reading right now?  2 books- 5 to 1 and Princess X 

2. How many books have you read so far? just 1 :(
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon? What Waits int he Woods
4. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those? yes many many many.... it is okay its life. I just do what I need to do and then read some more.

5. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far? No surprises for me. Well except we are already on hour 12
