Early Favorites Mini Challenge
Magic Elizabeth by Norma Kassirer: I don't remember how old I was but definitely sometime in Elementary School. I discovered this book in a box of my mom's books from her childhood. It was a worn copy. My mom was nice enough to let me think I could keep the book until I moved out of the house and she informed me it was HER book not MINE. I ended up having to buy a copy. I'm very picky about my book covers and had to find the same edition my mom had. It is still one of my favourite books.

Get The Heck Out of Here Mini Challenge
1. What steps did you take to ensure you’d be able to read as much as possible today? I cleaned all the rooms of my apartment that I knew I'd be in that day. Prepped all food and drinks yesterday so I'd be able to grab them easily.
2. Of those steps, which proved to be the most beneficial to your day? You'd think I'd say the snacks but it's probably the cleaning. I would've felt guilty all day if I was in a messy room all day (and I'm naturally a messy person so that is saying a lot)
3. Is there anything you might do differently next time? Buy less food. Full meals make me sleepy so I've been snacking on and off all day. I normally don't have any snacks available at home. I am going to have too many snacks left to tempt me post-readathon. ;)
