Readathon Plans and Preparation

It's almost time!! In about 22 hours, more than 1,500 readers worldwide will crack open a book and enjoy that most sacred of holidays - the 24 Hour Readathon!


Now, there are several important components of readathoning. The first is preparing your space. I plan to figure out which spots in the house are most comfy for reading and make sure that I throw some comfy bookish clothing in the wash so I can dress the part.

Then, of course, we have to talk about snacks. As of now, I'm planning to make some banana chocolate chip muffins tonight for breakfast tomorrow and all-day snacking. Dinner will be Southwest Chicken in the crockpot. If there was ever a day that you truly needed to set it and forget it, it's the day of the Readathon. I will also be taking a quick trip to the store to pick up any snacks that catch my eye. Snacks are very important.

The last and most vital part is the books, of course. Here are the books I hope to read.

Saga
The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage
Seconds
The Best Short Stories of 2013
Tiger Lily
Glaciers 



So, tell me your readathon plans! What do you hope to read? What are you going to snack on? Are you doing anything different from previous readathons?
