Mini Challenge Hour 5: Book Staging

You're probably wondering "What happened to hour 4??" It's on my Instagram! If you're interesed in seeing my shelfie, head on over! My username there is angelvelvet :)

For this hour's challenge, we were tasked with posing our book with something relating to the cover.

I think I nailed it, don't you? ;) Let me know what books you staged!

Mini Challenge Hour 3: Weird Reading Position

This isn't really that weird of a reading position, but it's a little odd I guess :P

Yes, that is my laptop on my lap. Yes, those are silver sequined slippers. And yes, that is my Disney princess blanket. Don't judge :P I'm comfy!

Now that's I've been up for awhile, I'm starting to get sleep. I think a nap is in order! I'll be back around 8:30am my time :) Happy reading!

Mini-Challenge Hour 2: Coffee or Tea?

We made it to hour 2! And yes, I know I'm 30 minutes late with this :P I needed something to wake up up... like coffee!

Yep, I am #TeamTrollope all the way! I have recently started to enjoy tea more, but it has to be a sweeter tea, and I usually add sugar to it. For my coffee, I still can't drink it black, but I usually added my Torani Salted Caramel syrup and a little bit of half and half. It's sooooo yummy! If you like salted caramel, you should try it :) What about you? What's your book reading drink of choice?

Opening Meme!

I know I'm late in posting this, but seeing as it's 5:30 am here, I needed time to wake up :P

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?

I'm reading from Salem, OR!

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?

Either Matched or Two Way Street. It's too hard to choose!

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?

Definitely my Lays BBQ chips. I've been craving them for awhile now :P

4) Tell us a little something about yourself!

I'm Ariel! I'm a 23-year-old college student who also works part-time. I spend my time with friends, reading, and generally just relaxing. This is the first year I've seriously attempted the readathon, so I'm excited!

5) If you participated in the last readathon, what's one thing you'll do differently today?

I'm really hoping to finish at least one full book. I'm pretty sure I can do it, but I just hope I can stay focused!

24 Hour Readathon stack!

Keep checking back for u[dates and mini-challenges as the day goes on! Happy reading!
