I had no idea how much fun the Read-a-Thon would be. I had a blast! I loved settling in for a cozy day of reading and good snacks, doing mini-challenges, reading posts from other participants, and tweeting with everyone. I’m already excited for the next one.

Mini-Challenge Won:
I was so excited to win Erika’s Mini-Challenge! I won my choice of 2 books from the prize page, and a set of bookmarks! The books I chose were:
The Man Who Loved Books Too Much by Allison Hoover Bartlett
The Heretic’s Daughter by Kathleen Kent
Money raised for 826 NYC:
I decided to donate $10 for every book finished and $3 for every blog post to 826 NYC. So with 3 books finished and 9
blog posts, that’s $57 for 826 NYC!
