Happy Sunday! I've been needing some cheering up lately. And I've turned to Phineas and Ferb and YouTube! (The marathon on Friday afternoon helped too!) Do you have a favorite song? a favorite episode? My favorite songs are probably S.I.M.P (Squirrels In My Pants) and the Mix & Mingle Machine. I even found a library-related video to share.
As for a favorite episode...well, I think Vanessassary Roughness is mine.
In non-cartoon-related news, I'm excited about some upcoming reading challenges. Including two readathons. Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon is April 10/11. And Neverending Shelf is hosting a Clear Away the Clutter Read-a-thon from April 5 through April 11. The goal of that one is to use the time to clear away books from your TBR pile. The Spring Reading Thing is also just a week away!

Readathon? That sounds exciting! Have you done one before? Are they successful charity fundraisers?
I'm considering doing something and I was thinking along the lines of a readathon or a writeathon!
Becky, that is one of my favorite Phineas and Ferb clips! Looking forward to the review of 8th Grade Superzero.
