ReplyDeleteIf You Come Softly is a great read-a-thon read, but saaaad. Enjoy! I'll be here to cheer since I did read-a-thon yesterday.
Traditional read-a-thon blessing:
ReplyDeleteMay the bookshelf be there to greet you.
May all the books appeal.
May the fridge be full of tasty snacks;
the words fall soft upon your eyes and until the read-a-thon ends,
may you always hold a book in the palm of your hand.
Good luck today!
