Honestly, I’m not sure there is an opening survey anymore. The website doesn’t get updated, I don’t use their Dischord server, and I barely follow FB. I do still faithfully do Readathon and probably always will. So this night before Readathon starts, I’m pre-writing the opening survey and scheduling it to go up in the morning. Maybe I’ll be the only one? Maybe others are writing theirs on FB or GR or Discord or who the hell knows where. I’m old. I still love my blog, though I really should just shut it down and stop shelling out money for it since the only damn thing I do is Readathon opening/closing surveys haha. Sob. OK That’s my goal for 2025 – let this thing go… sniff.
1) What part of the world are you reading from today?
Same as always, right here in PURPLE FLORIDA! #HarrisWalz, y’all. #HarrisWalz!
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
None of them, which is why I’m reading them? I’ve got 1/2 dozen books that I started at different points over the last two years and haven’t finished. My goal (again) is to FINISH them. It’s not that any of them are bad, they aren’t – they’re all good. I just can’t focus on them long enough to finish them. So let’s see which ones I can finally put to rest:
- The Lace Maker’s Secret
- The Spectacular
- Mad Honey (on audio so I probably won’t make much headway on this one)
- Circus of Wonders
3) Which snacks are you most looking forward to?
Either the Figs in a Blanket or the Hello Fresh goat cheese tarts. Both. Let’s say both!
4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
A liberal in a red county who would like my Floridian neighbors to vote Harris Walz, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, Yes on 3, Yes on 4, NO on the other amendments, and VOTE ALL JUDGES OUT.
5) What are your goals for this readathon?
To finish at least two of those books and to have a positive text banking session on Saturday afternoon, full of happy voting people.
