24 in 48 Readathon - The Stack

7/20/2017

The 24in48 Readathon is this weekend! There's not much better than a weekend devoted to books, and my amazing husband has once again offered to take care of our little guy so I can readathon (for Saturday, at least).

I was hoping that this readathon would help me get through my library books by their due date, but I somehow managed to finish them all already. So instead, I scoured my shelves to gather my stack for this weekend (plus one library book that I picked up from my local branch because I think I'll in the mood to read it). Hopefully I can use this readathon to get some of my own books read!

I'm planning to take myself out to lunch on Saturday (with a book or two, of course). And now I just need to visit the grocery store and pick up some snacks! Then I'll be all prepared for a bookish weekend!

Woo hoo for choosing from your shelves! Sounds like a great Saturday you have planned. I haven't signed up yet, but I'm definitely thinking about it :)

Of course it's the one library book in the stack that's calling my name the loudest, but I'll try to resist! ;)

You should definitely join in, even if you don't get to read much! It's just fun being part of the community. And I'm really looking forward to participating on Litsy this year.

I listened to the first Incorrigibles on audio - narrator had the noises down pat. Cute story.

The Incorrigible series would be really fun on audio! I'm sure I'll be rereading it at some point. I'll have to check the audio version out!

A Saturday dedicated to reading sounds just lovely - I hope the readathon is going well so far. I really enjoyed Landline when I read it (I hope to reread this year actually) and First Frost is a title I'm keen to pick up. Happy reading!

It was a wonderful weekend! I did enjoy Landline, although I think it's my least favorite of Rainbow Rowell's books. Fangirl is still my favorite of hers. I think you'd enjoy First Frost, Jade. It's a really good book, as is everything by Sarah Addison Allen! :)

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.
