Next Sunday this time I will be recovering from the the Read-A Thon. I think that this will be my third one. Each time I have been a reader and a cheerleader, and originally- this time around I was going to just cheerlead, but reading is just too much fun. So once again I will be juggling my duties.
Very Tentative Reading List:
- The Carnivore, by Mark Sinnet
- Cranioklepty, by Colin Dickey
- Crossing Wires, by Rosy Thornton
- Dreaming Anastasia, by Joy Preble
- The Maze Runner, by James Dashner
- Shelf Discovery, Laura Skurnick
- Wait Until Twilight, by Sang Pak
I already know that I never pay much attention when I make lists like this, so don’t be surprised when I read something completely different. That being said, I do really want to read these, so maybe this time will be different.

Great list! I bet Dreaming Anastasia will be perfect for the read-a-thon.

Any advice? This will be my first!

I’ve had Crossed Wires for way too long, and I feel bad. I need to get to that one sometime soon!

I’ve never been able to participate in the past but I want to this time. I’m still deciding if I can.
Crossed Wires may be a fast read since it doesn’t have require brain work but it also doesn’t have much action. I can only think of one or two scenes that really moved.

I want to read The Carnivore too but I don’t own a copy of it and won’t be able to get it before this weekend. I look forward to your review of it though.

I’m doing both again too. Hopefully by time the next one rolls around I’ll have high speed and then I can cheer longer!! I just compiled my list today. Yours looks great!

Best of luck with the read-a-thon. I haven’t participated in one, but I always enjoy reading the posts and seeing people’s pictures of their snacks and supplies and reading chairs for the event.

I cheered and read last time, but this Sat I’m going to be out of town attending a book festival. Good luck and have fun!

Great list! You have a good variety. I’m going to try that juggling thing this time too. But I so loved to cheer.

I’m the same way as you are about lists–sometimes making a list of books to read just guarantees that I won’t read anything I’ve listed!

Good luck in your reading quest this Saturday. I’m going to read and do a little cheerleading too. The only book on your list I’ve read is Crossed Wires. I really liked it. It starts slow but the author gives plenty of time for the characters to develop.

I’m one to make a list, but I limited myself for this to just making a list of could-reads not will-reads. I don’t know what mood I’ll be in!

I haven’t made a list. I think that I’m just going to wing it. Looks like you’ve got some great books there. Good luck on Saturday!
Your list looks great! I ordinarily struggle with following through on lists, but I have a nice little stack of books I can’t wait to read, so I think I will manage this time.

This is a great list you have going here! I enjoyed Dreaming Anastasia, it was a cute quick read….it would be good if you’re looking for something light and easy to break up some more difficult or darker books. I just started The Maze Runner last night. I’m hoping to finish it up before the Readathon begins on Saturday.
Good luck!

I think the Maze Runner will be a fast one for you – I couldn’t put it down! I can’t wait!

Great list! This will be my second readathon. Last time I pulled like 10 books and only finished 1. We’ll see how this year goes. I hope to post my list and The Girl’s tonight. Thank goodness she’s feeling better because I didn’t want to miss going to Serena’s and having a reading party. LOL
