Read-a-thon

Posted by Unknown on 5:35 PM 12 comments


Me and Pabkins are participating in Wonderfully Wicked Read-a-thon and Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-a-thon this weekend, so double the reading fun!

Rie’s Reading Pile:
I’ve fallen behind on some of my reading and really should have gotten many of these already read.

What’s in my pile?


and not pictured above the hubs just came in with the mail which held (it’ll probably be read first.)


If I get these done I have some books on my ereader awaiting my attention including:

and


1)Where are you reading from today?


Bed as always!

2)Three random facts about me…


I so sicky!
I'm in love with Chicken and Noodle Soup.
Codeine has weird affects on me.

3)How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?


12ish?

4)Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)?


Not really, just to read.

5)If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time?


If you get bored, get on twitter for like 20 min. , but make sure to use the hashtag #readathon.

Pabkins' Reading Pile:








Currently Reading:


Stack for the Read-a-Thon that I'm sure I won't get through - but I like to have plenty of options as I am a total mood reader!  So, I've got some Horror, comedy, start of an urban series, graphic novel, etc - lots of stuff.  Please note all these on the list are at the whim of whatever I fancy at the moment and might get bumped off if I happen to be sitting in my library and start staring *lusting* after another book for some reason.  It's the chances a book takes when it comes through my door.

Vengeance and God's Eye by A.J. Scudiere
Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z Brite
Earthbound by Richard Matheson

1)Where are you reading from today?
- all over my house and maybe while taking a stroll to the park and swings?
2)Three random facts about me…
- I can wiggle my ears, had a alice in wonderland wedding this year, hate coffee
3)How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?
- 11 (i know it’s only because i need options)
4)Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)?
- no just to read as much as I can without my eyes bleeding
5)If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time?
First timer

    Yay for readathons! :D I need to get my stack together and take a picture, if I can find my camera... and then get my post up! I'm SO excited for tomorrow, even if I DO have to be awake at six in the morning :P

    Yeah, I'm glad I don't have to be up until 7. I think I'll try to make all 24 hours, but you are such a speed reader during read-a-thons. I hope you have a huge pile!

    Thanks so much for joining in the fun of the Wonderfully Wicked Read-a-Thon, happy to have you! Sweetly sounds delicious (I know bad pun LOL) I'm looking forward to reading it eventually! The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman is awesome I really loved that one! I hope you both have fun with your Read-a-Thons!

    Two readathoners on one blog! Have fun, you two! Looks like two piles of fun, supernatural-ish things to read! The only one in your stacks I've read was The Graveyard Book, which was fabulous!
