I already got an hour knocked out while waiting in a dr. office. lol. Only 2 more to go later tonight.
I’m cheering for everyone, especially those that can dedicate a little more (less sporadic) time! : )
Oh! I didn’t know there was a mini-readathon going on today! I have finals so I can’t participate this time around. Happy reading to all the participants!
I will start reading about 6 pm CST and go until at least 10 pm…I have some ARCs coming in today that I need to get started reading! YAY! I will try to get back in with y’all later!
Go Amanda, Go Tara!
I tweeted you some encouragement and I made my opening post. Off to read!
You can do it! I just made my post and put it in Mister Linky. I love read-a-thons! Im off to read for the rest of the night, I will check in later!
I just got Gail Carriger’s Soulless in the mail today. Can’t wait to start, but have to finish making dinner first.
Best of luck to everyone! Hope you all have an excellent book to read!

I spent about 4 hours reading yesterday. I finished up “Confessions of a Triple Shot Betty” and am excited to start reading “Under the Dome” next.
I managed to get a third of Soulless done. Love it so far! Wish I had had more free time to dedicate to my favorite hobby though. Oh well, that’s what the weekend is for!
@ Stacey B : Nice! I’ve never heard of those. I better check them out
Thanks for joining in!!
