I think that's a great goal! best of luck :)
Holy Book Lists Natalie, you have a really long list there. I hope you can get through at least half of those. I will be checking in to see how well you fared.
What great books you have on your lists! I am interested in Will Grayson, Will Grayson and Fablehaven. Good Luck!!
I've signed up to be a cheerleader and your blog is one I have been "assigned" to. I look forward to hearing all about your experience tomorrow and to cheer you on. It's nice to have discovered a new blog!
Several good books in there! It's my first time doing this too. Good luck!
Great line up of books for your reading enjoyment!
Such an amazing pile - especially Will Grayson! I wanna read that one real bad (plus, I need some GLBT YA books for the GLBT challenge).
Anyways, it's my first read-a-thon as well this year, it should be super exciting!
I am not on your official cheerleading roster but wanted to wish you good luck!
Good Luck! Go Team Woodsworth! What a great selection you have there---Happy Reading!
Good luck, Natalie! I hope you reach that goal and hit the mark. I'll be cheering you on!
Traditional read-a-thon blessing:
May the bookshelf be there to greet you.
May all the books appeal.
May the fridge be full of tasty snacks;
the words fall soft upon your eyes and until the read-a-thon ends,
may you always hold a book in the palm of your hand.
Good luck today!
Hi Natalie! Best wishes for a happy Read-a-thon! Your book piles are jam-packed full of things I've read or want to read soon. :) I just picked up Will Grayson, Will Grayson and it's hysterical. Very fast-paced, so I can see that being a good choice for the Read-a-thon. Also, I can't speak highly enough of Blankets. Looks like a bit of a chunkster, but once I got sucked in, I was hooked. It's beautiful. <3
changeless is delightful! you'll get lots of laughs from that one. definitely read it!
