Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon

Check it out (Here)

The time has come to start reading!!!!
Goal is to read as many as I can and review them in the next week. 

This time I didn't make a long TBR as I think that was my issue last time with not reading as much. 

Reading/read list
I'm grabbing them on a case by case basis. 

1st Book
Challenges 
Opening Survey
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? I'm in normally Sunny Northern California but hoping we get a rainy day perfect for reading. 
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? I didn't make a stack of books this round as I struggled last round with my pile. 
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to? I'm kind of obsessed with this crispy chickpeas at the moment. 
4) Tell us a little something about yourself! I'm a little bit of a video game nerd. I play off and on with my husband and a bunch of friends. Currently, I'm playing ARK and Smite off and on with a little Guitar hero tossed into the mix. 
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? The last few I've always had a stack and about halfway in I find myself not loving my book options. This time I didn't make a stack and will be grabbing reading options based on my mood. 

Mini-Challenges
Decided to get a early start and do all the mini challenges in hour 3 before I start my 2nd book. 
A bunch of these are Instagram worth so expect to see these shared throughout the read-a-thon. 

Book & Snack 
Hosted @ The Book Monster 
My snack is quickly becoming one of my favorite Fruit Macaroons. Perfectly healthy snack to go with my water. Got to stay hydrated today. 
#ratbooksnack
I combined it with my current read a comic which is kind of a short story. 


Anthology of Interest
Hosted @ Purple Owl Reviews 
This one is tough. I think it would be fun to an anthology of book bloggers finding hapI don't read many anthologies, to be honest. However, I think it would be fun to an anthology of book bloggers finding happy ever afters. I've been on a romance kick lately and who doesn't love book bloggers. I could see a bunch of quick short happy ever afters about book bloggers. They could be super nerdy bookish girls.

Tell Me a Story 
Hosted @ Running "N" Reading 
I sadly don't read a lot of short stories. I wish I did but I do have this one on my kindle that I'm hoping to get to in the near future. Would a comic book count as a short story? I mean they are short and quick reads. I combined it with Book & Snack since they go so well together.

Pen Pal Mini Challenge 
Hosted @ Just One More Thing 
This is a hard one.....I'm not a great pen pal, to be honest, but If I had to choose I would love to have Mercy Thompson from Patricia Briggs books. She's a coyote skinwalker and her days would be interesting. I bet we could swap cookie recipes.
