Happy #readathon day!
I am a big fan of the Read-a-thon; there is little I enjoy more than a solid block of 24 hours that I’m allowed to spend just reading. Doesn’t happen often enough in my view! And at a time when my blogging motivation is probably at an all-time low, perhaps the Read-a-thon is just the way to get things kicked off to a more interesting place and feel like I’m part of the community again. Worth a try, anyway!
The little badge to the left of these words links to the website where you can learn more about the ‘thon itself and Dewey, its founder, who we all remember fondly as one of the cornerstones of our community originally.
So what do I have on my pile to read today? I think I’ve assembled one of my largest Read-a-thon piles ever. If anything this probably just shows how many books I have around that I’m seriously looking forward to. I’ve tried to keep it to a mix of fantasy, a bit of historical fiction, some easy and short non-fiction, and then some rare YA for me. All books that I want to read immediately, but that are also fairly quick and probably more attention-grabbing.
I think I’m going to start with Eleanor & Park or Picture Me Gone. Ironskin is also really high up on the list. I’m hoping to get through 3-4 books before the end tomorrow at 1 pm my time!
Are you joining in this time around? What are you reading?
Good luck honey.
Oooh I hope you started with Eleanor & Park – I liked that one. I have one of her other books, Fangirl, on my shelf and hope to be able to read it soon. Good luck tackling that stack!

Starting with E&P sounds a very good idea, motivation from the very beginning. Assuming you’ve finished it now so hope you liked it. This is going to sound crazy, but it’s never occurred to me to make a pile of possibilities, only pick definites.

A large pile of books just waiting to be read is one of the happiest sights on earth
I hope you were able to read and read and read some more. I look forward to reading a wrap-up post.
