 This weekend we will be taking part in the Dewey's 24 hour reverse read-a-thon.   To be honest I prefer this one due to the starting and finishing time and never feel as tired afterwards.

Although slightly early here is my introduction survey:

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?  Greater Houston, Texas, USA.

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?  No defined stack...whatever is next :)

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?  Golden Oreos

4) Tell us a little something about yourself!  North East Englishman...sweltering in Texas

5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to? Participated in many.  Probably won't do anything different...
