Wicked Valentine's Read-a-Thon: My Starting Line #WWReadathon

A bit late since this started on the 7th, but I'm signing up although it may be futile with how busy I've been lately. I do need to finish one book this week for review on Friday so maybe reading under the umbrella of a read-a-thon will get me motivated. I'll try to update a couple of times this week, but I'm not going to do a sticky post because it goes out every day in my MailChimp feed and I don't want to bombard everyone with the same post every day.

Here's what I'll be reading:

Reading mostly just parts of for read-a-longs:

Middlesex, Jeffrey Eugenides
Outlander, Diana Gabaldon

For review on Friday:

I Am Abraham, Jerome Charyn

Also, might start my Classics Spin book, once I find out what it is.

Probably won't be able to squeeze anything else in, but we'll see.

From the host blog:

The Wonderfully Wicked Read-A-Thon is a time when we all get together to dedicate the days of October 11-20 to as much reading as possible. You read as much as you can in order to get yourself a little further through that huge to-read pile! We know real life gets in the way and even if you can’t participate more than one day, you’re welcome to join in on the fun!

October 11 - 20  Sign up!

My reading pile/plans...

Finish The Historian, Elizabeth Kostova

Catch up on Northanger Abbey read-a-long

Read some of Under the Dome, Stephen King

Told you it was going to be a busy weekend. Not much time for reading.

I kind of have a busy weekend, but I'm still going to participate in this read-a-thon. You know me...I can't resist. This will segue nicely into my Spring into Horror Read-a-Thon which starts Monday.

What I'm going to read:

• Catch up on Rebecca for TBT read-a-long
• Catch up on Crime and Punishment for U read-a-long
• Night Demon by Lisa Kessler

I think that's it. Don't want to get overly ambitious. ;O)  My updates (if I get around to them...I'm terrible) will appear below the image above.

  Guess who my Valentine is this year?  Well, not who, but what.  You guessed it! A read-a-thon! I love, love, love them, even though I never do so hot, I still love the idea, the fun, and ye ole college try.  It starts at 12am EST so a bit under an hour to go!

These are the books I'm reading right now and they're all mostly for read-a-longs so I'm not going to commit to finishing any one book.  I'm going to go with a page goal this time of 1000 pages.  Can I do it in a week?  I hope so!

Final stats = 280 pages  *bleh*

Total pages read as of 2/12/13 = 198 pages

The Shining by Stephen King
