Introduction Meme

I am reading from my home in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The books in my TBR pile are A Moorland Hanging by Michael Jecks (already finished), The Abbot's Gibbet by Jecks, The Credition Killings by Jecks, Night Mare by Piers Anthony, The Celts, and The Top 60 Since 1967 by The Hockey News.
3 facts about me: I am studying to be a CGA (Certified General Accountant), I collect turtles, I work for Hockey Canada.
My goals for the readathon are to make it the full 24 hours (if you saw my 1.5 hour post you'll see I could be in tough on this one) and to finish 2 books (other than A Moorland Hanging, 5 pages just doesn't count)

  2. I see that you started blogging recently. You definitely picked a good event to get involved in the book blogging community! Good luck with the reading, and I hope it does pick up for you. Maybe a different book will help

  4. Thanks for the comments. Kim, I didn't switch books, but I did switch locations. I definately need to be more awake to chance reading in bed, now I'm on the coach in a more upright position and that helps.
    Gavin, all kinds. It started with little plastic or ceramic ones that hung on pots, but now a bobble head, one that's a hand made whistle (very cool), a build a bear, and my latest addition is an I-Turtle who dances along to my music and makes snotty beeps and boops about my musical tastes.
