1. Where? Broadcasting to you live from My Porch, Oklahoma.
2. Three random facts about me: I'm in the final stages of completing my Tumbleweed Home (Never heard of it? Check it here.), I am the steward of a polydactyl tuxedo cat named Beckett, and I have a black belt in Karate/ Taekwondo/ Muay Thai kickboxing.
3. How many books in your Read-A-Thon pile? Nine, I think. Maybe ten.
4. Goals? Finish the BookBabes selection o' the month, Scarlet Feather, and still have time to go to Lowes.
5. Done this madness before? Nope. Total newb.
I'm so thrilled you're doing this! And I loved the cheer you left! So I will give you the same cheer I left Bittner too (technically I get my cheer on during the last 6 hours of readathon, so expect more future greatness!)
ReplyDeleteYou got some strange looks
For piling up your books
But have no fear
We're here to cheer
Go, Readathon!
I got up at 6:30 so I could be ready for work by 7 and spend the 45 minutes before I left work getting online!
ReplyDeleteOkay, how is this for a cheer?
*set to the tune of the How funky is your Chicken? cheer in Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie!*
How funky is your reading pile
How funky is your reading pile
How loose are your books
Are books are totally loose
So come on all you readers
So come on all you readers
and shake out your Proust
and shake out your Proust!!!
I'm not doing the read a thon this year, but have always met so many great people through it. Remember to have fun-do the mini challenges and talk on twitter. On my first read a thon, I was consumed by the number of books I wanted to read, and didn't have as much fun as the times I interacted with other bloggers.
ReplyDeleteRock on, Holly. I am not participating this year, but I'm so excited to see all of you read away the weekend. Yeah!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading! I just checked out Tumbleweed Homes so neat! I wish I could convince myself to do something like that.
ReplyDeleteWait Wait Wait I improved it!
ReplyDeleteHow funky is Oscar Wilde
How funky is Oscar Wilde
How Loose is C.S. Lewis

So come on all you Poe fans
So Come on all you Poe fans
And shake out your Proust
And shake out your Proust!!!
GOOOOOOOOO READERS!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for all the suggestions and support everyone! I'll be dropping in on everyone's blog and returning the favor.
ReplyDeleteWith the cheerleading genius I'm seeing here, some of you have missed your calling.
I have a tuxedo cat too, named Hannah. I hope you're having a great Read-a-thon!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Holly, and have fun! I'm not good at coming up with cheers, but I'm sending you good vibes! Oh, and I think book club might need a demonstration from our resident black belt! ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Holly!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are joining us in the read-a-thon. Good luck!
Hey hope your enjoying the read a thon! Am half alsleep but I must keep going!
ReplyDeleteI used to live in Oklahoma, too! I love your blog...Bittner directed me here. Happy Readathoning!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first read-a-thon too! I hope you're having a great time!
ReplyDeletecheering you on from Michigan!!!
ReplyDeleteBack with a fresh cheer:
ReplyDeleteI like the books that thrill
the books that smile
the books confuse
the books that take awhile
But mostly I love the books I devour
During Readathon's 24 hours!
Good luck with your reading goals! I hope you've had a fun 'thon!
ReplyDeleteThose are definitely the most interesting facts I've read so far! And I've read lots. I also have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
