I’m ready for Dewey’s Read-a-Thon on the book front! There are just four hours to go. Here’s what I have waiting:
I’m going to start off with finishing How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff. I also want to use this exclusive reading time to make real headway into Germinal by Emile Zola, which I’m reading and enjoying for the Classics Circuit but finding it hard to take after work and things. If I read fifty pages of it in between books, I hope to get to around the middle or something. I wouldn’t try and read it in one go unless it really picks up!
Also, On the Edge is on top for a reason. I’ve been saving it – I know urban fantasy is great for the Read-a-Thon, so that one will be probably be second. After that, who knows?? I think I have a good mix though, of YA, fantasy, memoirs, and romance. Nothing too serious or strenuous except for Germinal!
I think I’ll be posting every three hours or so. I am probably not going to try and make it all night but we’ll see how I do.
Oh, and I’m sadly lacking on the snack front, but we do have leftover lasagna and some cookies, so I probably won’t starve! I’m just going to envy all of you with delicious food throughout the day.
Good luck everyone!
(If you’re not reading, I hope you have a lovely Saturday anyway!)
Good luck with the readathon! I hope that you manage to get a good chunk of Germinal read!

I’m one of your cheerleaders and wanted to wish you good luck! I’ll be reading next time, but may sneak in a few hours of reading this time, for solidarity’s sake, ha ha.
I’m curious to hear what you think of How I Live Now. I wasn’t a fan and couldn’t finish, but if you think it is worth finishing, I’ll dig it back out.
That’s a big stack of books, hope you’re able to get through a bunch of them! You can do it!
