Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon

Everything is falling into place for me to be able to participate in this Spring's Readathon!  My 13-year-old son is going to my daughter's house tonight to spend the night so he won't be here most of tomorrow.  She and her husband are taking him disc golfing so I don't have to worry about trying to get him off the couch tomorrow!  I hurt my back earlier this week - wish I could say it was because I was outside doing all the spring gardening. . . but I don't know what I did to hurt it.  Went to the chiro on Wednesday and am going back this afternoon.  It is better today, but still not perfect.  I had a meeting I was supposed to go to tomorrow morning - but it is an hour drive there and an hour drive back - and didn't think that would be conducive to my back.  Fortunately, there were others who could not attend so it looks like it is going to be rescheduled.   And, with the hurt back, I don't have to feel guilty about not doing yard work tomorrow!  Yay!  So that means I can read all day!  I think this is the first time that I have participated that I didn't have some other obligation that I had to do during the day.

As for what I am reading. . .   I have lots of books checked out from the library right now - from juvenile fiction (I work in a children's library department) to teen fiction to adult fiction/non-fiction.  I also have my kindle all charged up and ready to read.  I read the first chapter of a book last night on it - The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay.  This might be the one that I start with tomorrow.  Otherwise, you can see my pics for my reading choices.

For snacks. . . I have bought some blocks of cheese for cheese and crackers.  Also, have the standby of pretzels and chip dip (favorite snack from when I was a kid).  I think I am going to buy a fruit tray when I get off work today, but for meal time food I have no idea.  Hoping my husband will offer to pick up lunch on his way home from golf tomorrow - so at least that will be covered. 

The best part is that it is finally warm enough for me to use our 3-season room!   It is my favorite room to sit out and read in.  So, until tomorrow!

Sorry about your back! I hope it's better soon. I see Turtles All The Way Down and Beartown in your photos. I LOVED both of them!
