October Read-a-Thon

October 10, 2009 by Darlene


Well I’ve decided to sign up for the October Read-a-Thon taking place on October 24 as a reader. If something goes wonky by then with the dog or anything else then obviously I’ll bow out but for now I’m going for it. I had fun last year although I didn’t end up reading as much as I could have because I got hit with a migraine. Still it’s fun to try and to visit all your friend’s blogs that are reading along. It’s a really great community event.

Want to find out what the read-a-thon is all about? Head on over to the Read-a-thon website to read all about it and sign up to be a reader or cheerleader or both if you can handle it. I really enjoy taking breaks to visit other blogs to see how they’re doing.

I haven’t picked out books yet although I know for sure I’ll be checking out my bookshelf for maybe some shorter books. Last time around I read books I needed to read for commitments but this time the only commitment I’ll have at the time of the month is Pendragon’s Banner and I will probably read a bit of it. Once I get my list together I’ll post it.

So, what are you waiting for – you know you want to go check it out and sign up! lol.

    Have fun! Twenty-four hour anything isn't really my cup of tea, but I'll be cheering you on!!

    Yaaaaaay! You're joining us! ^-^ *happy bounce*

    (Actually, I suppose I should say "I'm joining you" since this'll be my first Read-a-thon – well, officially – but… *beams*)

    My daughter and I were on it, until I realized that I'd booked my all girls' cruise at the same time. Sigh. Maybe in the spring?

    Happy reading, Darlene! I don’t think I can join, since I will give birth soon and I will be very busy with the baby:)

    Good luck with the readathon. I know I won't be able to participate as I am out most of the day with the girls.

    I'm still on the fence about joining read-a-thon…probably because October is a busy month for me…but maybe I will do some cheerleading.
