What a fun mini-challenge! Here’s my list:
1) The snacks. It’s fun to splurge on snacks and easy to prepare/eat foods that we wouldn’t normally buy. And then to eat them all day and night long, lol.
2) Filling a day of reading helps pad my yearly books read count. Heh.
3) No errands to run on #readathon day.
4) No housecleaning on #readathon day.
5) #readathon is a great time to catch up on some of the “from the stacks” books that I never manage to get to.
6) I always read a bunch of children’s fiction/non-fiction from my Cybils shortlist challenge, which helps me make a big dent in that challenge list.
7) The mini-challenges are fun. A lot of fun.
8) Finding new book bloggers who are participating in #readathon is awesome. I always have a few new blogs to add to my feedreader when #readathon is over.
9) I always find a few new books to add to my TBR list after hearing other #readathoners talk about the books they are reading.
10) Reading all day long, never even getting out of my PJs, is the best, most relaxing way to spend a Saturday.
