Today!
5:00 am
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? Los Angeles, Ca
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? I am going to finish the last 50 pages of Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella first because I need to find out what happened!!!
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to? I have a BBQ Chopped Salad that was so good yesterday at lunch I had to get some for today. Yummy!
4) Tell us a little something about yourself! Ummm! Hi! Alysia here. It's 5am and I am in my PJ's with my laptop in bed right now. I have my book and a protein shake and water on my night stand for my first snack/meal. *shrug* What else? *thinking* Pass.
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? This is my fourth (maybe) read-a-thon and I love this event. Alexis @ReflectionsofaBookaholic first told me about it and I have been apart of it ever since. This year I am going to read more. Socialize less. Eat healthier. (Stop laughing!) and I am so looking forward to finishing a book or two this year.

For this hours mini challenge we have to
- Using the titles on book spines, make a short poem at least three "books" long/tall.
- Don't worry about form or meter or anything like that. Just have fun! And don't over-think it - I did the one pictured above in about ten minutes.
- Take a picture of your book spine poem, post it on your blog/Twitter/Tumblr/Instagram/etc., then paste the permalink to that post in the comments to this post.

Even the Stars Look Lonesome
Beneath A Marble Sky
For One More Day
I know I have zero poerty skills but what do except from 6:55 am creativity. LOL!
Thoughts so far: I am so happy I got the audiobook with me because just reading this book would have not been easy. I mean laying in bed from 5am to 6:30am with a book is hard. I should have gone to the sofa. But the first two hours are done! Yeah!

Beverage: The watermelon drink from pg. 179
I would call it the "Scrumptious" That is how Emma described it in the book.

Desert: Sweet Cherry Cobbler
(Emma loves to drink sweet cherry. That is one of many of her secrets)

Hour 4
Retitled Your Current Book
Retitled Your Current Book
hosted by: Geeky Blogger Book Blog
The rules for this one are
The rules for this one are
- Take your current read or the one you just finished.
- ReTitle it with something clever
- Post to your blog, twitter, facebook, or goodreads with your snazzy new title!
New Title: OMG! Did I just say that?
Emma (the main character) keeps saying things she did not intent for people to hear. Very funny!
Thoughts so far: I have just spend from 7am to 8am doing stuff and not reading at all. Since I finished my first book there was a few things I just had to do. Update my reading statues on Goodreads, on my blog and on Dewey's Readathon page. Finish three mini-challenges. Make a shake. And wham! An hour has passed. By the way...did you know the sun is up? When did that happen?
