Welcome Read-a- Thoners! I hope you have read tons of pages by now! This challenge is open for the next two hours.
Who or what keeps you company when you read?
Do you have some favorite friends,or a comfy blanket to cozy up with as you read?
Does a pet or two keep you company ? Are they just near you or have to be on you? Does your reading interest them or put them to sleep?
Do you have others hanging around you as you read?
Is your younger brother trying to horn in on your book? Or do you love having a book buddy?
Or do you just want to be alone while reading and can get a little annoyed if others are bothering you?
***The challenge is to show us a picture or tell us who or what keeps you company as you are reading today!!***
Post your entry on your blog and leave your link in the comments. At the end of the challenge a winner will be drawn randomly to win this prize package:
(A choice of one of the three books), a teddy bear and Starbucks gift card.
Please leave an email along with your comment. This challenge is open to all participants. Thank you for stopping by and entering this mini-challenge. Happy reading!
I also have chocolate to give away to really creative, funny, etc. entries.
So who or what keeps you company when you read?
Sorry that the pictures and text are so far apart, tried and tried to fix it, but could not.
These are pictures of my kids reading dating back to 1991!

No need to enter me-love the photos-I love reading solo-at the beach with my snacks-cannot stand it when beach friends or pool friends or people on the plane want to yack and all I want to do is read-any companions-besides my bookmark and a reading pillow. No.
Happy Reading

No pictures because I think he'd be quite angry: old jeans and a t-shirt that we've just realized actually belongs to my brother...and his tongue stuck out in concentration over the Wii!
I can't take a picture of my cell phone with my cell phone...my sons are texting me today!
Thanks for not requiring a picture this time though I think I can mangage this one. My dog Spunky is always at my feet when I read and at anytime one of my four girls is likely to be around.

There are few who are allowed to be around me when I read but this is the one exception:
http://bookjourney.wordpress.com/2009/10/24/24-hour-read-a-thon-mini-challenge/
My cats Oz, Toby, and Olive are my reading buddies. They always wait until they see me with a book to demand a good ear/chin scratch!

I normally read while my cute hubby watches t.v. As long as we are by each other we are happy.:) I also read while my kids are playing near me, or they sit on the couch and watch a movie and cuddle.;)

I'm a loner when reading. The beach is favorite place to read so maybe the ocean and all of it's wonderful sounds is one of my reading buddies
I have been putting up photos of my "helper" cats and kittens as I go. The latest one is below:

My furchildren are hanging with me today! Here is my post.

I just posted a picture of my main reading buddy on my blog...
http://luluettesfineprint.blogspot.com/
She's my furbaby - a black kitty named Familiar. I call her Familiar because a witch has an animal companion, which is known as a...familiar! The best known familiar...a black cat! However, I'm not a witch...I just loved the idea for a name.
Also reading with my buddy Christa - she and I are cheering each other through.
Visit her here!
