So excited to begin! I think this will be the first Readathon where I'm starting completely fresh. I should be finishing the 2 books I'm currently reading today. What I'm afraid of, lol, is managing to start something else today and not finishing it! Might just do some DVR-bingeing instead as I need to catch up on a few shows and I won't be devoting much time to TV starting tomorrow! :) Or knock out a graphic novel from my Comixology stash.
Well, first I'm reading pages for the screenplay workshop that meets later today. Then I will try to finish up some of the books I started reading last month!
Well I don't know if I should count the book I have just finished or start fresh, considering I was already 95% through the book. Me thinks fresh would be a good idea.
Am not going to do a tbr for this readathon and just read what I feel like at the time.
Here we go!!!
And so it starts.... The Poisonwood Bible by Barbra KingsolverI'm 158 pages into the 543 page journey. Set in Africa, this one is perfect for a hot summer month.
Hope you are enjoying it. Still haven't decided what to read yet

Thank you Michelle, happy to be in this marathon, will try to finish by the end of the month, I am reading another one but is in Spanish, the name is El Cerrajero del Rey!!
Well 86% through my second book and enjoying it.
Finished two books today: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson and Love and Other Consolation Prizes by Jamie Ford. What a productive day I have had!
Finished my first book! Poisonwood Bible. A book of substance but also entertaining... There was so much to think about in this book and I had to take breaks but I highly recommend it! Now I need something a little bit more light...Book 2 A Grave Sight by Charlaine Harrie

Less than an hour to go to finish The Maze Runner Files and I can't seem to get any time to do it! Today! It's got to be finished today! :)
Finished Book 2: A Grave Sight it was a fun quick page turner! Elyse I checked out the Lily Bard series and it looks good. I will look for it next time I'm at Half priced books! If it's anything like this one I know it will be readable.
