INTRODUCTION MEME
Where are you reading from today?
McKinney, Texas! (north Dallas)

3 facts about me …
1. I wear a mouthguard at night because I grind my teeth
2. I'm the oldest sibling of four
3. One of my favorite movies is When Harry Met Sally

11, but I hope to read 4-5

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)?
4-5 books, 1000 pages, 16 hours reading, and loads of fun

If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, Any advice for people doing this for the first time?
Get into a routine. Comment a lot to cheer others on. But most importantly HAVE FUN!!!

Great job so far! I'm taking a bit of a break. The Girl and I just finished Coraline. Granted, we'd started it a while ago, but still. It's one down. I know you can meet your goals!
