A great morning so far! The Dean took Boo to acting class (Boo is Gaston in a children's theater production of Beauty & the Beast). Betty and I are Read-a-Thoning. She's read about 20 minutes total thus far, and keeps skipping around from book to book. So far, she's read some of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Everything Cat (a how-to on caring for your feline).
Title of book(s) read since last update: I'm still working on finishing An Egg on Three Sticks (I started it this week, thinking I'd be finished pre-Read-a-Thon, but that didn't work out.) Almost done with this ... check back in a bit.
Number of books read since you started: 0
Pages read since last update: 147*
Running total of pages read since you started: 147 *
* don't be fooled into thinking that I am some sort of Read-a-Thon rockstar. I'm so not. Jackie Moyer Fischer's style in this book is one that has only 1-3 sentences per paragraph, almost like poetry. The perfect Read-a-Thon book. Heh, heh, heh. :)

Hello book!
What are you up to?
Keeping yourself to yourself,
shut in between your covers,
a prisoner high on a shelf.
come in book!
What is your story?
Haven't you ever been read?
Did you think
I would just pass by you
And pick me a comic instead?
No way book!
I'm your reader
I open you up.
Set you free.
Listen, I know a secret!
Will you share your secrets with me?
