I'm way behind at this point but won't make excuses. I'm a first timer who heard about this from my blogging friend Shannon at River City Reading. The read-a-thon started at 5am PST but if you know me even remotely, you know I barely acknowledge 5am much less read at that hour. So now I'm up and going.

Thank you to everyone who ... Read More...
