Today is day two of the Once Upon a Read-a-Thon. It will be a busy day for me so I probably won't get much reading done but I will read when I can.
Yesterday I finished The Year of the Gadfly by Jennifer Miller. I read about 320 pages total yesterday and stayed up late to finish the book and it was well worth it. Excellent book and good writing. I really liked it.
Today I plan to read about 85-90 pages in The White Queen by Phillippa Gregory for a read-a-long I'm participating in. If I finish this I will probably start a new book. Hmmm, I keep debating about what book I should start as I have so many good books to choose from. 
Georgia: She read about 40 pages in The One and Only Ivan and together we read one chapter in Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder.Max: Read How to Build a Time Machine by Hazel Richardson. He read for an hour and is almost finished with the book.
Mini-Challenge
This mini-challenge is brought to you by Better Read than Dead blog.
You're in a bookstore and you've just purchased 5 books you've been dying to read, when the apocalypse hits. (Zombie, Demons, Vampires, Dean Winchester vs. Sam Winchester (yes, I'm watching Supernatural reruns) I don't care what apocalypse). You've got one chance at survival, what 2 books do you take and what 3 other items do you take?
*This is a tough question. If I can only take two books with me, I would choose two very long books. One that I have already read and one I haven't. So the first book I would choose is Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell because it is my favorite book and it should be saved for humanity. The second book I would take with me is probably a classic that I have been wanting to read but have put off year after year. I would make a mad dash for Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. Another book that must be saved for humanity.
Other 3 items I would take from the bookstore; chocolate, bookmarks and a notebook to write about the apocalypse.
