I’ve been trying to pull together a stack of “possibles” for the Read-a-Thon. These are ones I pulled off the shelf yesterday.
- Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs
- So Into You by Sandra Hill
- Julie & Julia by Julie Powell
- Flesh and Fire by Laura Ann Gilman
- The Italian Secretary by Caleb Carr
- Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
- Peacekeeper by Laura E. Reeve
- Still Life by Louise Penny
- Hidden Currents by Christine Feehan
- The Italian’s Inexperienced Mistress by Lynne Graham
- Branded by the Sheriff by Delores Fossen
- An Edible History of Humanity by Tom Standage
- The Guns of Avalon by Roger Zelazny (in The Great Book of Amber)
I know I won’t get them all read, obviously. Also, I may end of grabbing entirely different ones. I figure I can always go to Amber’s bookshelves if I just need a short easy something for a break. Also, I’ll read a little with Amber, but I’m not sure what we’ll be reading by then. I told her she can stay up late if she’s reading with me and I’ll post anything she reads, too.
I think my husband is finally realizing that I actually mean that I’m taking a whole day to just read. Or at least as close to a whole day as I can. He’s planning on having our friends over for games that night instead of Friday so he’ll have something to do.
Good luck with your reading. Seems that you have a great stack of books to choose from!
It looks like you’re well prepared. Have fun with the read-a-thon.
Impressive stack. I haven’t heard of most of those books. Enjoy the read-a-thon!
Frankenstein…a very good one! I’m amazed at how well-written it is given how young Shelley was at the time.
OK, is this a day or a month? That’s a lot of reading material.
Good luck with your challenge!
I’m eyeing Julie & Julia. 😀
LOL–and will you just hole yourself up while the company is over? 🙂 My husband will be out of town this weekend and while than means no interruptions it also means no one told hold me accountable for actually staying up!
Julie & Julia I think would be a good book to read! It’s better to have too many books in your stack than not enough.
Yay!!
Trish – I figure the boys’ll play Axis and Allies or something else I don’t usually play. They’ll have snacks I can share, stay up late. I can read on the couch while they play their game.
Glad to hear you’re participating. The Girl and I will be over Serena’s and the men can play video games while we read. And I’m sure The Girl will venture away from the books for a while like she did last time. Thank goodness she’s feeling better because I really wanted to participate.
I pulled out about 10 books last time and only read 1, but it’s nice to have options. This time I’ve snagged my daughter’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid books to use when I need something light.
Have a great time!
Hee Hee. I think my husband is realizing the same thing. This weekend there is a sale on the sofa we’ve been looking at for months and last night I told him to go buy in on Saturday. He couldn’t believe I wasn’t going to go with him 🙂
The only one I’ve read is Julie & Julia, and I loved it!
Good luck in the read-a-thon!!
Good list and good luck 😀
I sure must participate too once
Oh my goodness that is quite a stack of books. Will you really be able to get through all of those in one day? I am going to have to try and find a day to have a mini read-a-thon. It sounds fun!
