My eyes are getting tired. I think I should take a break and eat dinner. I'm not as young as I used to be! Once I finish my current magazine, I have another in line, and I received yet another in the mail today. I'm glad I have the Read-a-Thon to help me get caught up.

It's That Time Again!!!
It's time for the 24-Hour Read-a-Thon!!! My favorite time of year (and October's is my favorite RAT) and I'm once again reading from sunny South Florida. Here's how it's going so far:

I've been spending a lot of time on my various devices lately, so reading has really taken a backseat. I'm using today to get caught up on magazine reading and maybe start a new book. My wonderful book club - the Treasure Coast Book Club, which we started one year ago today, has kept me in books for most of the year. We meet about every six weeks and talk about life, eat yummy delicious food, maybe drink a little wine (gin, in my case), and discuss the book selection for that meeting. I love getting together with these wonderful ladies (and one guy...sometimes) - we were already friends before the book club, but now I feel we are much more consistent in our friendship and it has definitely brought us all closer together. I'm hoping our last book club meeting of the year in early December will be well-attended, so we can close out 2018 with a bang!

RAT: Hours 15 and 16
I'm calling it quits. My eyes are failing me, which is a new thing recently...I'm squinting because they are tired. I guess that's what happens in your forties. Tomorrow is my birthday and I'll be 41, so maybe it's time to update the prescription on my glasses!

This has been a really productive Read-a-Thon for me. I haven't been reading as much lately as I usually do, so it was nice to have a day with nothing else to worry about, so I could get caught up on some of my magazines. I'm going to keep plugging along with them, so I can soon start on our next book club read, Do Not Become Alarmed. I hope you all have had a successful Read-a-Thon, too, whatever that means to you. See you in October!
