Welcome read-a-thon-ers! You’ve all been doing a spectacular job…I hope you’re having a fabulous time!
For my mini-challenge I’m asking read-a-thon participants (and yes, this includes you too, cheerleaders and organizers) to channel David Letterman and come up with their Top 10 List. The only catch is your list needs to somehow relate to the read-a-thon (you know, as in the top 10 reasons Dewey rocks or the top 10 reasons why sleep deprivation enhances the reading experience or the top 10 snacks for a read-a-thon). Be profound, be silly, be whatever…there will be no prizes for creativity, but there will be a prize. Participants who post their Top 10 List will be entered in a drawing for a $10 Starbucks card. Because y’all are probably in need of some caffeine about now.
Please post your top 10 list on your blog and leave me a link here in the comments so that I’m sure to find it. This mini-challenge will run for the next two hours…I’ll draw a winner at 9pm Pacific time.
Have fun! And if you can’t quite make it to 10, that’s okay…give me your top 5 or 6 or 7 list. I’m flexible.

oh, this is a great challenge but I don’t have much time to think. I need the time to read….
I just posted my last update. I have to go elsewhere and I’m bring my last book and be back before Read-A-Thon ends.

Have fun.

Oh darn, I took a break too late to get in on this one. I don’t think my brain can get that creative in 25 minutes. Great idea for a challenge though, and I’m looking forward to reading everyone else’s lists.
Thanks for the visit too!
