I’m reading!
The Carnivore, by Mark Sinnett
Where are you reading from today?
I’m in NYC and right now I’m kicking things off from the bed.
3 facts about me …
I am a lover of historical fiction (I discovered that through blogging, popcorn is my favorite food and I play bocce in a league.
How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?
I think I started with 6 or 7 but that number keeps going up as I remember more books I would like to read.
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)?
Not really, though it would be nice to finish at least one book. I want to read as much as I can and have a good time with all my read-a-thon friends.
If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, Any advice for people doing this for the first time?
Preview a chapter or two of you books so that you know you will be reading something to keep you hooked, and keep them mostly under 300 pages.

Hi Nicole: I’m a cheerleader for the first time! You’re in my first group to cheer for, so, for hour one: congratulations on signing up, and I hope the next 24 hours are filled with books, and people talking about books for you! Mostly, lovely reading time for you.
What books are you hoping to read? You don’t give their titles, and you know us book readers, we love to know what other people are reading! lol
One day I hope to be able to participate too, but my children are too young to let me have 24 hours to read….
I hope you are enjoying being part of world-wide reading event. It’s awesome, and I think you are too for being part of it.
Enjoy your readathon and reading!

I didn’t realize you play bocce isn’t it kinda/sorta a bowling like game only different?

It’s Italian bowling without the bowling pins. You have to get as many balls as possible as close as posible to another little ball called a pallino.
Hope your RaT is going well!
