Read-a-Thon Introductory Questionnaire

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?  The Woodlands, TX
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? I don't have a stack, just read the books in the order I get them without looking ahead so I can't say
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to? Going out for Cici's Pizza for dinner
4) Tell us a little something about yourself! English, now living in TX via lots of difference places.  Sports freak and this evening will be worrying about how the San Jose Earthquakes are doing against Salt Lake.  Will I be able to read during the game?
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?  Ninth one.   Essentially doing the same usual.  Just looking forward to days escape from "life"
