High Summer Read-a-thon

The High Summer Read-a-thon starts today. I was debating whether or not to sign up, but it's low-pressure and I am a sucker for read-a-thons. Sign up over at Seasons of Reading. Thanks for hosting, Michelle! Here are the rules: Dates are July 18 - 24, starting at 12:00am Monday and ending at 11:59pm on Sunday. That's central time (U.S.), but you can adjust your times according to your time zone. Of course, like most read-a-thons, the books read must be novels or novellas, adult or young adult are fine, and you can read children's books too (as long as you do read some novels too). Note: Non-Fiction is also okay! You DO NOT have to participate the entire week. Join in when you can, start in the middle, end early...whatever works best for your schedule. As with all of my read-a-thons, it will be a week of relaxed reading during which we can personally challenge ourselves and whittle away that ever...

Sci-Fi Read-a-Thon Update Day 7 and Wrap-up

The Sci-Fi Summer Read-a-thon is hosted by Michelle @ Seasons of Reading. Here are the details: Read-a-Thon dates: Wednesday, June 1 at 12:00am CST until Tuesday, June 7 at 11:59pm CST (adjust your time zone accordingly). I wanted to try out a different day configuration this time. Since Sci-Fi is a very specific genre, this will be strictly reading science fiction during the event. However, since fantasy is so closely related to science fiction, if you feel more comfortable reading fantasy, that is also fine. To check in on Twitter, we'll use hashtag #SciFiSummerJune As usual, you do not have to have a blog to participate...feel free to link up and check in from Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter, etc. These days, it seems most of our activity goes on in our Facebook group which I love. The interaction in our group is fabulous! Day 7 Update: Books finished: The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick Books started: None In the middle of: The Sudden Appearance of Hope by...
