I have It came from the woods, and the rest of that series, on my TBR for eventual reads.

Nice collection of books. Do you like to read several books at the same time or do you read one book at the time?

I love Lucinda Berry.
Looks like a good list you have.

One book at a time! Unless I'm very much not vibing with the book I will always finish it before starting the next

Opening survey!

What part of the world are you reading from today?
Texas!

What hour does/did the readathon start for you? Will you be sticking to the official time?
It starts at 7 AM. However, my toddler woke me up at 5:30 am so I already started. I am still going to try to make it until 7 am Sunday, but I got two hours of sleep last night. So I doub it.

What are you most looking forward to during the readathon?
Reading while having me time, I have coloring books, diamond painting, and video games!

Are you reading alone or with a reading buddy?
I will be reading with my toddlers, my mom, and my husband once he's off work.

What challenges, if any, are you expecting to face during the readathon?
Well, I am solo parenting (Besides my parents) until hubs is off work, so watching the toddlers while reading is always fun.
I am also already exhausted, so I don't know how much I'll get done.

June (My 3 year old) woke me up at 5:30 am, so I decided to get started. Of course she went back to sleep (I could've slept another hour lol) Oh well!

If you want to see photo updates follow my instagram, TikTok, Blog, and I will also be posting on FB and Discord

Happy readathon, Ash! Love your outfit!
