I am not at ll prepared for this readathon due to my recent work schedule and having pretty much forgotten about it til last minute. Also closer to the end of the month and I only get paid once a month. so that means I'm almost out of money, so no shopping spree for snacks. So I don't have anything special lined up.

Avid, are you why I raced out to buy a copy of Northranger ? I couldn't remember who to thank LOL

Ended on page 34 of . This book is DENSE.

Current Sprint Read:

Read 100 pages

Opening Event Survey:

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
Germany, 30km south of Stuttgart.

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
All of them…

3) Which snacks are you most looking forward to?
Haven‘t prepared any. Maybe potatoes and sour cream later or some tomatoes with mozarella.

4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
I am single, work fulltime, try to watch less TV and am in the process of letting most of my streaming services run out, so I can read even more than I already do. I just got an ebike, so exploring the countryside with it takes away from reading—I don‘t dare yet to ride and liste to audio at the same time. I like going on walks with a friend and her funny chihuahua/terrier mix. I would love to have cats again and get a dog, but it wouldn‘t be fair for them to be alone all day, while I am at work. Although I regularly work from home now for at least 2 days a week...

5) What are your goals for this readathon?
Read the things on my readathon TBR pile. And if I don‘t manage that, it‘s fine, too.
