I am single female blogger with a BIG book club, who loves reading and purses. I love my job and even the hour commute. That is called "reading time". This is my 5th RAT and I love it!

I am not going to have wine at hour 15 like I did last April. I never saw past hour 16. I got sleepy then hit the bed to finish reading but the wine got me. No wine this time! And I am going to focus on reading more and chatting less.

Hour 2
Mini Challenge hosted by Shannon at River City Reading
For this challenge we have to pick a song that fits the book we are currently reading and say why we picked it.
I am reading The Good House and the main character's grandmother is into voodoo from Haiti. So I am picking a group of women from Haiti. I am not familiar with Haitian music but I like this song and the video. Here is "Bella Mondo". Enjoy!

I added one word. It is not beautiful but it "kinda" makes sense. I think!
Thoughts so far:
So far I have completed 65 pages. Not much but I am a slow reader. I had oatmeal with raisins and a cup of jasmine green tea for breakfast. I am in love with the energy in this read-a-thon. I am going to jump over to visit a few blogs now and maybe Twitter too!
