It's almost here! It's time to assemble an impossibly large stack of books and read to your heart's content in one glorious 24 hour burst. The 24 Hour Readathon is this Saturday, April 26, which of course is my birthday. (I think Andi and Heather planned it that way on purpose...Thanks, guys!)
If you haven't signed up yet, head over here and get to it! You can participate even if you don't have a blog. And no, you are not required to read for the whole 24 hours. Read for as many hours as you can!
I think I'm going to start with Book #4 in the Thursday Next series - Something Rotten. Here is my reading pile (subject to change with my whims).
Passing by Nella Larsen
Maybe One Day by Melissa Cantor
Something Rotten (Thursday Next #4) by Jasper Fforde
Then Came You by Jennifer Weiner
I also have Invisible City ready to go from Netgalley if I feel like staring at something different for a few hours...
What are you going to read for the Readathon?
Happy EARLY BIRTHDAY! We totally planned it that way. So glad you're with us! --Andi (in the readathon account)
ReplyDeleteI knew you did. :)
DeleteHappy reading on your birthday. How thoughtful of them to arrange it that way for you!
ReplyDeleteI've never dared to sign up for a 24 hour readathon like that, but well done, you. I really liked the Melissa Cantor book, so I look forward to reading your review on that one!
It was thoughtful, wasn't it?? :)
DeleteI think your review was the one that convinced me to add it to my list. I'm always nervous about digging into YA books...
I've just started All the Light We Cannot See and it will probably take me into Saturday. I also have The Opposite of Loneliness which I'm really excited about. ~Kelly, ReadLately.com
ReplyDeleteI always go back and forth about trying to start a new book on Readathon morning or just finishing a book I've already started. I'm not sure which ones works better for me!
DeleteI can't wait to hear what you think about The Opposite of Loneliness. I had it on Netgalley, but forgot to read it before the archive date...:(
So excited to see you're reading Passing, that's one I've always wanted to get to! Happy early birthday :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Shannon!
DeleteMy goal of reading classics this year sort of got lost after I finally finished The Arabian Nights. Back to it!
