I’m about to start my first ever read-a-thon and I’m so excited! I would be amazed if I can stay up the whole 24 hours, so I will aim for between 12-16 that seems more realistic to me. My game plan is to have fun! That’s it, nothing more. Although, I have picked out a few books to read today and my favorite pair of sweatpants. As for posting/commenting, I’m not sure how often that will be, probably when I need a break from reading.
Currently Reading:
- Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
Books To Read:
- The Blue Fairy Book by Andrew Lang
- Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
- Wicked by Gregory Maguire
