I figured since I was going to be reading this week anyways - might as well do it for another read-a-thon! Besides, it will keep my mind off of my daughter's due date!
Bout of Books will run from 12:01am 10/24 through 11:59 pm 10/30 (your time zone)
You can see all this and more at On a Book Bender - the host for this readathon.
Okay - so I am going to try to set myself some goals for this readathon:
Finish these books: The Comforts of Home by Jodi Thomas, Disrupted Lives by Brenda Youngerman, The Kingdom of Childhood by Rebecca Coleman and Good Graces by Lesley Kagan
Read at least 3 more off of this list:
My Life Undecided by Jessica Brody
Skeleton Letters by Laura Childs
If I Tell by Janet Gurtler
The Berlin Boxing Club by Robert Sharenow
Ghost Files by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson
Ghost Trackers by Jason Hawes, Grant Wilson, and Tim Waggoner
Wishes and Stitches by Rachel Herron
Anything by Michael Baron
Falling Together by Marissa de los Santos
