Read-a-thon 2009, here I come!




I'm so excited! My very first readathon. I've nagged my friend Janicu into doing it with me. I went to the library and got books. I went to Borders and got books. My husband is out of town. It's the perfect time to curl up and read read read!
  • Hana Yori Dango books that I got from the library. It's a Japanese anime series that I'm completely addicted to.
  • A trilogy from Nicole Jordan: To Seduce a Bride, To Bed a Beauty, and To Pleasure a Lady.
  • Lisa Kleypas' Tempt Me at Midnight
  • J.R. Ward's Covet
  • Julia Quinn's To Catch an Heiress
  • Elizabeth Hoyt's To Beguile a Beast
  • Julie Powell's Julie & Julia, which I started but haven't finished.
  • Scott Westerfeld's series: The Pretties (oops, I read this already. How did it get in the pile?) and The Extras.
  • MaryJanice Davidson's Queen Betsy series: Undead and Unwelcome
  • Rachel Mead's YA vampire series: Vampire Academy, Frostbite, and Shadow Kiss. I think there is another book I didn't get yet.
  • LHK's Skin Trade. I have about 100 pages left. It's been a slow read.
And if I don't feel like reading any of these in the pile, I can always do my Sookie Stackhouse or Harry Potter challenges.

So on the west coast, I'm supposed to start at 5 a.m. Ummmmm. Not sure that's going to happen. But I will be up as early as possible and stay up as late as possible. I'm not planning on leaving the house for food though!



FYI - I'm posting my updates on Vox since I like the formatting for Vox better. I'll update Blogger after I'm done with the Read-a-thon. :) Thanks for all the cheerleaders' messages!!!

    I got too ambitious. I think I can go through the anime pretty fast.

    Thanks Eva! I'm updating my progress on VOX: http://bookfiendo.vox.com. :)
