1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
Kelso Washington USA. Across the Cowlitz river from Longview where I grew up and had been living with my elderly mother between January 2013 and late July 2021. I moved into my 400 square foot efficiency unit in late July 2021. This post was a photo essay of my new space. I really need to update on the photo essay. There was a significant change last spring when my brother donated three large pieces==two bookcases and a tall cabinet.
So this is my 16th thon in my own home, counting the Reverse Thons in August 2021 & 2023 - 2025.
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
Non-Fiction: Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott
Fiction: Aabian Nights and Says by Naguib Mahfouz
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
Savory: a huge salad. enough for three or four meals
Sweet: watermelon
4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
- i set my annual goal on Kindle and Goodreads at 222 and reached 111 at the end of June
- Riddle (featured in pic above) joined me December 2024 as a 2 mo. old.
- Legally blind with RP aka tunnel vision. Have only a sliver of vision left in center of right eye. The rest is shadows and shimmers.
- Have struggled with mood disorder of Anxiety and Depression and insomnia since grade school
- Diagnosed with high functioning autism in 2015. In my 50s!
- Have a caregiver who comes in five days a week to help with chores and errands I can't do alone.
- I proved during this move that I have more volume in fiber art supplies than in clothes by at least triple.
- I probably have double the volume of clothes in tree-books but since I still haven't got them all moved over I can't be sure. But if all the ebooks and audio books loaded on my devices were tree books there probably wouldn't be room for me let alone my yarn and clothes, beanbag chair or bed...
5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to?
This is my 43rd Dewey thon so there aren't many variations I haven't tried.
