Hurricane Sandy Read-A-Thon


Most of the East Coast is currently under a crazy storm watch thanks to the mega-storm that is Hurricane Sandy. I'm sitting right in the middle in Maryland, and Sandy is supposed to make landfall a few hundred miles from my house. 

Needless to say we're expecting heavy power outages. In fact, my power has flickered twice since starting to write this post.

So, I'm proposing a Hurricane Sandy Read-A-Thon! As soon as the lights go out, I plan on reading as much as I can until the lights come back on. I have my Nook charged for nighttime reading and a ready supply of candles and my booklight for when the battery dies. I also have an insanely high ARC stack I need to make a dent in.

When I eventually get power back and can update the blog, I'll come back and let you know how many books I managed to read! Anyone else in?

Even if you aren't in Sandy's warpath, feel free to jump on board and read as much as you can with us until Sandy finally dissipates.

For everyone in the line of fire, hang on and stay safe!

Once Upon A Readathon!

Once Upon a Read-a-Thon


I'm proud to announce I will be participating in the "Once Upon A Readathon" this July 11-13. The idea is to read as many books as possible in those three days.

My goal is to read 5 books. Luckily I'm on vacation and will be at the beach then, so hopefully I can accomplish my goal! I'm already eyeballing my bookshelf for what books I should take on vacation, but there are so many to choose from...

Maybe I'll set up a poll so you guys can vote on what I take?
