Woot!  It's time to start Dewey's 24-hour read-a-thon!
Now the only problem is where do I begin???  I have so many lovely books clamoring for my attention.

Perhaps I'll pick up Haunted Summer by Anne Edwards.  I started it just before a big project and had to put it down.  It's about the summer that Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, Clare Clairmont, and Lord Byron spent together at Villa Diodati.

1)Where are you reading from today?
2)Three random facts about me…
3)How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?
4)Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)?
5)If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time?

1.  Indiana, my lovely house
2.  I took a double major in philosophy and English Lit as an undergrad; I'm participating in the inaugural Poem in Your Pocket Day on 14 April;  I'm addicted to British panel shows
3.  At least 10, but I know I won't get anywhere NEAR that many read
4.  Just to enjoy myself and get lost in the literature
5.  I did this read-a-thon last year in April.  I'd say if the weather is decent where you are, do some of your reading outside.  It's all nasty and rainy here today...good "in bed" reading weather, but not so good for staying awake :)
