The Kick Off of Champions

Hey Readathoners!  Look at you early birds coming in on the first Mini Challenge of the Dewey Readathon.  You have probably been up and reading for while now and need a little mini challenge break to get the blood flowing again. 

In this challenge we would like you to write a post on your blogs about your kick off strategy.  What have you surrounded yourself with for these early hours of the challenge besides your books?  Is there a coffee thermos, lucky book mark, snacks, pillow....  We want to know how you have prepared so you do not have to leave your cozy reading space (by the way - we'd like to know what is too.... (are you still in bed, a chair, the couch.....)

Have fun with this - you can take pictures... add a video - whatever you want for your kick off post!  I am excited to go and see what each of you come up with!  :)

Write your post on your blog and then come back and link to your post here using McKLinky.  This challenge is 3 hours long and after it ends at 11am, a winner will be chosen by using Random.org and they will be sent by email a $15 Amazon Gift Card.


Good Luck Readathon Readers!!!

    I took a picture of what I'm surrounding myself with: a good book (To Kill A Mockingbird), a good cup of coffee and a wonderful view (my backyard!)

    Post linked, although sadly no photos as I don't have access to the computer I need to download photos for a few hours. Never mind. It's the thought that counts. :-)

    Thanks for this challenge. Time to do some more reading!
