Read-a-thon Part 2 - hour 7-12

I can't believe we're 1/4 the way through already!

So far I've finished one book - The Clothes They Stood Up In and am nearly through Daughters-in-law, approximately 500 pages in total. Roughly on track for both my goals.

Hour 7 Mini-Challenge: Treausre Hunt

I found two books that had the three words: tree snow weapon

Now I want to read one of them :)

Hour 10 Mini-Challenge: Party Planning

What book is your party themed around? 

The Great Gatsby - it's not only one of my all-time favourite books, but it's pretty much one party after another. 

What food will you serve?

Oysters on the shell,canapés, a chocolate fountain 

What’s your signature drink?

Bathtub gin. But I'd also mix some Belmont Marks, which is my version of a bourbon lemonade

Lots and lots of mind games. And maybe Cards Against Humanity or Taboo to make things a little uncomfortable.

A pink shirt and a puppy.
