I went to bed around hour 18. 2 Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?

It's Read-a-thon time! It's Read-a-thon time! I'm getting a bit of a slow start this morning, but I played Euchre a little bit later than I wanted to last night and when my alarm went off I ignore it and slept for another two hours. About me: 1 What fine part of the world are you reading from today? Eastern Ohio. Today's a bit cold by sunny. 2 Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? I don't know. Part of the problem is I don't really have a plan, just choosing books/stories willy-nilly. 3 Which snack are you most looking forward to? Pizza for dinner. We've been on a bit of a diet and haven't had pizza for a while. But did you know it's also National Pasta Day, which may mean spaghetti for lunch. 4 Tell us a little something about yourself! I'm 40. I read mostly mysteries, with the occasional romance or fantasy. I have a wonderful husband and daughter...
