READ-A-THON STARTING LINE POST
Read-a-Thon Goal: To read 10 books this week, including several I've had for review for *cough* a little bit too long.
Ideally, I would like to get a few of the reviews done this week as well but I am keeping notes on my Kindle or in my notebook for when I do sit down to write them. I have an overall goal for the year to review every book I read, at least to some extent. I was doing fabulously until the last few weeks and now I am about 8 or 9 reviews behind schedule. My secondary goal for this week will be to knock AT LEAST FOUR off the list. Will there be at least one picture or graph review? I'm almost positive that answer is yes.
Books to Knock Out:-->See my blog sidebar or a detailed post directly prior to this one.
Other Books I’d Love to Get to: If I become some sort of superhuman and finish all 10 books on my list, I will likely revert to my sci-fi obsessed self and read the new Starfleet YA book, finish Survey Ship or Time Jump, or read some more of C-Dubs' work. (Connie Willis)
How Much Time I Intend to Read: As much as I can. Realistically, I'm hoping to finish a book a day and start about a quarter of the next one. Not entirely impossible.
UPDATES (I will keep updating this post throughout the week)
