Read-a-thon: Hour 0 - Kickoff Meme: Intro


Looking forward to meeting everyone as I settle in to the day. It's a bit disconcerting to have a whole day to just read; I keep futzing around the house and pestering my wife. Here's my intro for those read-a-thon-ers who don't know me!

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?: Boston, MA!

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?: I'm pretty keen on my whole stack, but really jazzed for The Shadow Queen by Sandra Gulland. She wrote one of my all-time top ten favorite trilogies in the world.

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?: I bought some fancy organic fruit yesterday and I plan to luxuriate in bed with tropical fruit, bubbly water, and my cats! Five very ripe champagne mangoes are calling my name!

4) Tell us a little something about yourself!: I'm married to a pretty fabulous woman (who's doing today's chores so I don't have to!), and I work full-time for a national non-profit. I'm in the process of knitting a Moby Dick afghan for my wife (it's her favorite book), and so far, it's only taken me seven months. I'm only 10% done, oops! Outside of reading, my other passions are writing -- I wrote a very bad first draft of a historical novel last fall; cooking; and reading tarot -- I have over 300 decks and can't stop buying them.

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?: Technically this is my second attempt but I don't count the first one, since I had to bail almost before it started! I'm really excited about being able to just pick up one book after another...such fun!
