Readers unite! Amanda from On a Book Bender decided to host a read-a-thon this coming week, just for fun. Love it. Although not an ideal week for me since I start a new job tomorrow (yay) and am getting over being sick (boo), not to mention that I have a lot of work to do on my writing/revisions, I am p-s-y-c-h-e-d (why, yes, I was a high school cheerleader!). My goals for my week in the read-a-thon are:
1. Read a minimum 10 books, at least eight of which are MG or YA.
2. Get the majority of the books from the library (my husband's rule).
3. Keep my fellow read-a-thoners (is this a word? it is now) updated on my progress as I'm sure everyone awaits my news with bated breath.
I did buy two books from my to-read shelf this afternoon (prompting my husband's library rule): 13 Treasures by Michelle Harrison and Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. I will read these two first and get the remainder from the library tomorrow or Tuesday night. The read-a-thon starts tomorrow and goes through Sunday. Let's! Get! Reading!
I can't wait to see your review of Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children - My daughter really wants to read it. She says it looks like her kind of book. Which I suppose should really scare me, but she's 18, the youngest of 3 and nothing surprises me anymore :) Good luck with the read-a-thon. This is going to be a fun week!
ReplyDeleteReadathoners is definitely a word. It's like marathoners, but we read instead of run. ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
