24-hour Read-a-thon - I'm signed up!

Would you believe that in over 4 years of blogging I've never signed up for a Read-a-thon? They've always appealed to me, since way back when our beloved Dewey came up with the concept -- and I've participated casually (without signing up) in the past. But, till last spring I had swim meets and other events that interfered.

This year: Kiddo's coming home for the weekend and hubby wants to clean the garage "while it's cool". However, it shot up to 88 degrees, today, so maybe I can get away with hiding in the bedroom to read. We'll see.

I don't have any books specifically set aside. My goal is to finish the three four books I'm currently reading and I also hope to read Fables: Legends in Exile, the first of the Fables graphic novels. After that . . . whatever grabs me, if I find the time. I will not go without sleep, so it'll probably be more like a 12-hour read-a-thon, at best. I've got hints of a sinus infection that's making my eyes puffy and sore, so I just can't do without the sleep. But, I'll keep you posted on what I manage to read.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend to the Canadians!!

  1. Good lucky with your reading! How wonderful that you get to participate this time!

    I can't do the readathon, but I will be hosting a mini challenge at 1am Pacific, so if you're still up you should stop by. :)

  2. Alyce,

    Thanks. I'm excited. I hope I can get up in the morning. This constant headache is really putting a crimp in my style.

    1am Pacific??!! That's 3am, here. I hope I'm not up! LOL Have fun with your mini challenge, though! If, for some strange reason, I am still awake, I will drop by. :)
