This weekend is the 24 in 48 Readathon! It lasts from 12:01 a.m. Saturday to 11:59 p.m. Sunday. I have no delusions that I'm going to get a full 24 hours of reading in, but I am excited to spend as much time as I can reading away! I'm especially looking forward to this because it means my husband takes main charge of my son for the weekend - and I'm ready for a bit of a break. Over the past couple of weeks, my husband has gone on two business trips (this never happens!), for a total of almost seven days of single parenting. I can't wait to relax and escape into a book (or three) this weekend.
Here's the stack I'm planning to read from (which can always change). I intentionally picked books that I own (no library books!) so that I can keep chipping away at all the unread books on my shelves.
- A Devil to Play: One Man's Year-Long Quest to Master the Orchestra's Most Difficult Instrument by Jasper Rees (I'm a band geek who loves the sound of a French horn, so I'm excited to read about playing one.)
- Torrent by Lisa Tawn Bergren (The third in the River of Time series. I read the first two last year, but it got a bit too young-adult-angsty for me, and I had to take a break. I think I may finally be in the mood to read book three.)
- Love Comes Calling by Siri Mitchell (Light Christian fiction. Perfect for a readathon.)
- Mr. Lemoncello's Great Library Race by Chris Grabenstein (I bought this right when it came out last year, and I can't believe I haven't read it yet! This is the one I'm planning to start with on Saturday, so I'll remedy that soon.)
I don't have any special snacks planned, but I am going out to lunch (all by myself!) on Saturday. I can't wait for this weekend! Anyone else joining in the festivities?
