Just about time to leave for the wedding reception. I’m hoping to check in again when we get home tonight, but not – Have a great last half of the read-a-thon!
I wish you well with your plan, and hope you have great fun at the wedding/reception. I will check back for your updates.
Happy Reading!
Thanks for stopping by!
Are you going to put the book in your purse – just in case the ceremony is delayed?
Oh I so badly want to do that.
Hmmmmm we’re not going to know many people at the wedding, so perhaps I could get away with it…. ;)
Reading in between the wedding and reception…I like this attitude! You’re committed! Enjoy your celebration and your reading today. And mmm that cinnamon bun looks delish!
Thanks! That cinnamon bun disappeared far too quickly. I may have to have another one…
Those desserts look so good! Happy reading!

Fun post to read…hope you’re having a blast at the wedding!!
The hour grows late
My cheers are lame
Hope you’re still reading
And your eyes aren’t aflame!
This cheerleader is getting tired and will be off to bed soon, but I wanted to say once again Happy Readathon and have a great night!
I can’t wait to hear what you think of The Heretic’s Daughter!
Oh, and have fun at the reception, too!
She awoke to the sound of the bell ringing since she couldn’t read hearing that racket. Dazed, she must read more! Go, read, Go! You can read like you’re ringing a bell!
I’ve never known any trouble than an hour’s reading didn’t assuage.
