The website doesn&#8217;t get updated, I don&#8217;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&#8217;m pre-writing the opening survey and scheduling it to go up in the morning. Maybe I&#8217;ll be the only one? Maybe others are writing theirs on FB or GR or Discord or who the hell knows where. I&#8217;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&#8217;s my goal for 2025 &#8211; let this thing go&#8230; sniff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1) What part of the world are you reading from today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Same as always, right here in PURPLE FLORIDA! #HarrisWalz, y&#8217;all. #HarrisWalz!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of them, which is why I&#8217;m reading them? I&#8217;ve got 1\/2 dozen books that I started at different points over the last two years and haven&#8217;t finished. My goal (again) is to FINISH them. It&#8217;s not that any of them are bad, they aren&#8217;t &#8211; they&#8217;re all good. I just can&#8217;t focus on them long enough to finish them. So let&#8217;s see which ones I can finally put to rest: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">The Lace Maker&#8217;s Secret<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">The Spectacular<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Mad Honey (on audio so I probably won&#8217;t make much headway on this one) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Circus of Wonders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3) Which snacks are you most looking forward to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Either the Figs in a Blanket or the Hello Fresh goat cheese tarts. Both. Let&#8217;s say both! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4) Tell us a little something about yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5) <a><\/a>What are your goals for this readathon?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To finish at least two of those books and to have a positive text banking session on Saturday afternoon, full of happy voting people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flamingohouse.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/464670602_18467068351039212_8396119337577383649_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/flamingohouse.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/464670602_18467068351039212_8396119337577383649_n-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flamingohouse.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/464670602_18467068351039212_8396119337577383649_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flamingohouse.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/464670602_18467068351039212_8396119337577383649_n-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flamingohouse.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/464670602_18467068351039212_8396119337577383649_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/flamingohouse.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/464670602_18467068351039212_8396119337577383649_n-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flamingohouse.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/464670602_18467068351039212_8396119337577383649_n.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honestly, I&#8217;m not sure there is an opening survey anymore.
