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:

Title of book(s) read since last update: Rachael Ray Every Day magazine, July/August issue; Food Network magazine, September issue (I'm SOOO far behind on my magazine reading)
Number of books read since you started:  part of two different magazines
Pages read since last update:  105
Running total of pages read since you started:  105
Amount of time spent reading since last update:  111 minutes  (more or less)
Running total of time spent reading since you started:  111 minutes
Mini-challenges completed:  None - less blogging and more reading this time!
Other participants you’ve visited:  None, yet.
What I've eaten/drunk:  Coffee; two chocolate chip cookies for breakfast


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!
