Readathon ~ updates

This is very last minute, since the readathon started an hour ago, but I just signed up in spite of myself.  This post is for updates.  The "hour" links to the Readathon page, and the "title" links to additional posts on my blog (if I posted one).

Hour 1 ~ 8:00 a.m. ~ Introductory Questionnaire

1)  What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA.
2)  Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
Krik? Krak! by Edwidge Danticat.
3)  Which snack are you most looking forward to?
Grapes, chips 'n' dip — maybe even together, since I started the day with a mashed banana on waffles.
4)  Tell us a little something about yourself!
Reader, writer, blogger, mom, grandmother, great-grandmother, retired pastor, teacher, friend.
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?
Different means reading without Kiki.  Looking forward to the mini-challenges, even though they take time from my reading.
