Tomorrow morning, I will be kicking off Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon, and it could not have come at a better time. Life has been so crazy since I started my new job, and my reading has taken a big hit. This weekend, I really do not have a lot scheduled and I am looking forward to spending a good chunk of my Saturday reading and relaxing.
I have compiled a good pile of books to get me through the day. I will likely not be able to finish all of them, but I am hoping to at least get to a good chunk of them.

I am already about halfway through The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, so that is the one that I will be starting with. From there, I may read a short story or two from Joe Hill's book, and then dive into one of the others. If I'm really needing some quick reads, I may dive into that huge stack of Christopher Pike books that are the extras in the back. Also, I can't forget my current audio read! I will be working on Sisterland by Curtis Sittenfeld when I need a break from the written words.
I will be posting updates via Instagram, Twitter, and Tumblr throughout the readathon, so catch me there. I will post my wrap-up results in my usual weekly wrap-up on Monday.
Will you be joining in the readathon? What books would we find on your stack? (Please feel free to share links.)
It sounds like you need the relaxing just as much as the reading! :) Have a great day and I'll see you on the social sites!
ReplyDeleteKristen M. ... I will not deny that!! Hope you are having fun!!

ReplyDeleteMelissa Wiebe ... Heading over to check out your post right now. Better late than never! ;)
DeleteI finished Unbroken this week. AWESOME book! Good luck with reading! No Wimpy Kids this time? I plan to read another here in a bit. Some day, I'll catch up!
ReplyDeleteSuey ... I can't wait to read Unbroken. I've seen Jenni reading it too! I am actually all caught up on the Wimpy kid books (for now)!! They are great ones for the readathon, so I'm bummed I don't have more!
DeleteThat's quite the stack of books, Tif! All you Read-a-thoners certainly have stamina :) I'll never do these challenges though. I'm curious how you made out!
ReplyDeletewritersideup.com ... I didn't get as much reading done as I had thought or hoped, but I did get in some good relaxation which was just what I needed. No complaints here. I will be posting the detailed results tomorrow in my Monday Maunder post.
