Kickin' Off Late!!



The Read. Read. Read-a-thon is already two hours in. I am just now logging on for the first time!! This is not a great way to start!! However, I feel that if I can get my household stuff done now, then I will have the majority of the afternoon and late hours to devote strictly to reading. That's my plan anyways. Most of the morning I intend to work on housekeeping issues . . . getting caught up on my comments, cheering on my fellow read-a-thoners, and writing some reviews. I will then have to run some errands. By that time, I'm hoping to have lunch and get one kid down for a nap, so I devote a few hours to reading. I'm currently working on Royal Blood by Rona Sharon. It's a longer book and I am at the beginning, so I have some shorts by Poe handy to break up my time AND I could not resist picking up a copy of Matchless by Gregory Maguire earlier this week from the library. That should be a fun little break as well. It looks like one I can read in one small sitting.

So, until next time, I will give you my beginning numbers for the record . . .

Oooh, when Gregory Maguire is good, he's SO good. I haven't read matchless, but I hope it works out for you.

You've got this! It's wise to start with house-keeping. Enjoy your books. I've only read Wicked, but that was excellent so I'm sure Matchless is just as good, or better.

You are off and running! Good luck!

I feel like I am a bad blogger today. I was all ready to go and then my Internet conked out. I had to go to Starbuck's to post what I was reading!

Well, I'm back and I hope to visit blogs for the rest of the Readathon.

You are doing great!
