Hour 15 – Trippy Times!

Oct 13th 2012October 2012 & readathon

Hey, y’all!!! Andi from Estella’s Revenge here hosting this hour. Can you believe we’re already in Hour 15? While this is my first opportunity to step up as host, I’ve been lurking all day doing this and that behind the scenes. I don’t know about you, but at this point in the evening I’m ready to LAUGH (and possibly sway)!!! And grab another cup of coffee. Ahem!

And what could be more laughable than Jimmy Fallon impersonating Jim Morrison singing THE READING RAINBOW THEME SONG??!! I know, I could hardly believe it myself.

I’ll see you guys again in Hour 19, but for now here’s what’s shakin’ around the Read-a-Thon!

    Tea- I too chose a 600+ page book and have yet to finish it…getting there but I know how you feel. But we have tackled a huge undertaking….think quality not quantity!
