I can't believe that it has been two weeks since I've posted a news and MM post! I've been so busy and frankly, I just haven't felt like it. I think sometimes we just have to take these little breaks to maintain our sanity. It certainly has been busy in the book blogging world lately. My read-a-thon finished and then more started (not that I'm complaining...I love read-a-thons!). This week, there are two going on and then next Monday starts what I'm going to tell you about next...read on!
What's going on in my/the reading world....
Monday starts my Sit Down and Write Write-a-Thon! This write-a-thon is for any writing you need to get done, whether it be novel writing, writing reviews, short stories, journaling...whatever writing you want to accomplish, this is the week for you! Since we're going to be coming off a bunch of read-a-thons, I would imagine you'll have a lot of reviews to catch up on. I'm going to be concentrating on catching up my word count on my novel, which I'm trying to finish during Camp NaNoWriMo. But even if I don't finish, at least I'll get a lot accomplished. I'm hosting this over at my writing blog, The Story Inside Me. For details and sign-up, go HERE.
I just announced this over at the Stephen King Challenge. We're reading the entire Dark Tower series from September this year through July 2013! You can check out the details and sign up at the dedicated blog HERE.
We're into the second week of the Wolf Hall Read-a-Long so there's still time to catch up! The reading and posting schedules can be found HERE. It's a great book. You should join us!
Coming in October to Castle Macabre...Season of the Witch! Details will be posted over there soon. If you are interested in participating by writing a guest post or, if you're an author, and you'd like to donate a book for a giveaway, let me know. The focus is going to be witches (I'm going to be reading my fair share of witch-related fiction), but anything scary is game! Be watching for details at Castle Macabre.
What I'm reading....
I'm currently participating in the Bout of Books 5.0 read-a-thon. You can check out what I'm reading at this POST. My updates are in a sticky at the top of the blog.
