Heather at Book-Savvy and Casey at The Bookish Type are hosting a read-a-thon to help us get the last of our 2010 books read…and I need all the incentive I can get. Even though I am working on the 29th and 30th, I still hope to squirrel away some time to read. Here is what the event is all about:
The Readathon will run from December 29 – 31 and participants will be reading as many books as they can during that time! Sign ups are HERE.
Casey and Heather will be giving away tons of swag and books during the Readathon (and a lot of it will be signed!) Several authors have been kind enough to donate items. There will also be fun daily Mini-Challenges, hosted by the following fabulous bloggers:
December 29
Pure Imagination
Kat Duncan
The Nerd’s Wife
YA Book Shelf
December 30
The Book Worms
Loud Words and Sounds
Family Literacy and You!

A Writer’s Review
Here is what is in my TBR pile for the last three days of December (I hope to read at least TWO of these in addition to completing my current read):
- The Truth-Teller’s Lie by Sophie Hannah (almost done with this one)
- Stone in a Landslide by Maria Barbal
- The Polski Affair by Leon H. Gildin
- The Doctor and the Diva by Adrienne McDonnell
- The Things That Need Doing by Sean Manning
- The Last Child by John Hart
- The Year of the Hare by Arto Paasilinna

Wish me luck!!!

Gosh I really want to do this, but I always feel like challenges are tempting fate or something! So instead I’ll just wish *you* luck!!!
Good luck! I think I might do a mini read-a-thon myself though I doubt I’ll officially sign up. Your stack looks great. I can’t wait to read your review of A Thousand Rooms. Have fun!
Thank you so much for joining the readathon and posting! You’ve picked out some awesome reads — I need to check out the ones I haven’t heard of before. I hope you enjoy them and the readathon! Happy reading!
Sounds like a lot of fun! I wish you the best of luck 🙂
Ooo! I was thinking about doing this challenge. You might be the push I need to enter as well.
I don’t know if i’ll officially join in on this one but I definitely hope to get some extra reading done since I am off of work Friday and Saturday.
