It's closer and closer...

So, I have one hour left until the read-a-thon starts. One hour in which I will have lunch and get some more things ready.

I already have my snacks ready. Some ready cut carrots, some cookies, and gummibears. I know what I'll have for dinner today and breakfast tomorrow. Now all I have to figure out is what I want to eat for lunch tomorrow - and maybe I'll bake some muffins. They're quick and easy, and it's not much trouble to have them finished before the read-a-thon starts.

Last week already, I took care of my reading stack. It is huge, but I figured it is better to have a broad variety of genres and something for breaks as well. I certainly wouldn't want to have to pick off of Mt. TBR (obviously ;-) ).

The books are:
