Yesterday, in my google reader, I saw a posting from the blog, Review From Here, where there was a Read-A-Thon starting today.  It starts today at 8am and goes thru until Sunday 06/20 at midnight.  I am throwing my hat, or should I say book, into the ring. 

Instead of choosing a goal of how many books I will read, especially since my books are usually well over 300 pages each.  I will be challenging my self to hours read.  And the number of hours for this challenge will be 40 hours for the week, a full time job lol.  Want to join, link provided above.  I will be reporting daily how I am doing.  And Good Luck to those who are participating.

Today’s Question:
  Who in your family (both immediate & extended) are readers, and who are not?
My Answer:
  There aren’t many family members, both immediate and extended, that read.  Matter of fact, I can only think of 3 people.  My cousin Jennifer, my Godmother Liz, and my son’s gf Jessica.  That’s it.  And unfortunately they all live out of state.  So many times, I would read a book I thought was worth discussing, but nobody around me were interested.  That is why when I stumbled upon a book blog, then started clicking their blog roll, I couldn’t believe that all these people share their thoughts on books.  I finally found someone, I should say, many, many friends that were interested.  Over the years, I have tried so hard to encourage my immediate family (hubby and 2 sons) to read, but never could.  But last summer, I have to say, hubby heard a book being discussed on a cable news show and ordered it.  So I started a quality time, reading by the pool book club.  I got him to at least open the book and read the first 2 chapters.  lol  Will try again this summer.
