Dewey's Read-a-thon: Hour 1 (for me at least!)

Finally home from work and ready to kick off the read-a-thon. Now let's see--do I have everything I need?

Books? check
Snacks? check
Tea? check
Reading glasses? sadly, check
Cell phone to keep up with Twitter? check
Peace and quiet? not so much.

The hubby is off having fun, Mini-him is at work but Mini-me and Miss H are in various parts of the house listening to music which they feel obliged to share. The blending of the two is not particularly conducive to relaxed reading. Soon I'll send Mini-me off for pizza and that will afford me a little more quiet. Kicking off the day with The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott by Kelly O'Connor McNees.
