    6. Stephen King Readathon October 2013 Sign Up Sheet

    Quick break from Rainbow Reads for something I've suggested for a couple of weeks.

     Stephen King readathon! 

    I want to do this because I'm loving watching Under the Dome, I enjoyed some of his stuff a couple of years ago, and I feel I should read some more of his stuff. What better time than Halloween (ish), eh?

    Anyway, if anyone else wants to take part, please do.

    • It would happen from Monday 14 till Sunday 20th October.  
    • There will be no prizes for participating, except hopefully having read and enjoyed books from a prolific horror/suspense author.
    • I will be doing this regardless of whether or not anyone else joins me. 
    • All my reviews will be posted in the days leading up to Halloween.
    • Any participants should totally follow for follow and keep in touch and things. 
    • Spreading the word would be awesome. 

    I hope you enjoy, if you choose to join me.

    7. Bout of Books Read-a-thon! August 22–August 28

    Since my book binging at Borders careened out of control, I thought it timely that Amanda from On a Book Bender is hosting the Bout of Books Read-a-thon.  Though I won’t have much time to read due to work, I will make the best of the few free hours available to try to take a chip out of my TBR pile.

    The Bout of Books Read-a-thon starts Aug 22 and runs through Aug 28.  You can read more about it here and here.

    My goals are pretty simple – I just want to get through a few books before the massive TBR pile topples over and crushes the life out of me.  I have no idea what I am going to read, and will probably just grab random books out of the stack.  I do want to finish up these:

    Knight’s Curse by Karen Duvall

    The Centaur’s Daughter by Ellen Jensen Abbot

    Island’s End by Padma Venkatraman

    Anything read after these will be a bonus.  I will mainly be updating on Twitter and Goodreads, with a wrap-up post that you can read if you are interested in my process.

    There is still time to sign up!  Click here for details.

    8. Once Upon a Read-a-Thon: Day 3


    Once Upon a Read-a-Thon

    Well, today was rather unproductive. I stayed up way too late last night finishing Shattered Souls by Mary Lindsey, so it took me a while to get moving this morning -- then I got caught up in all the excitement of the Julie Kagawa Livestream. I still had a blast in the readathon, and I might have my own personal readathon for the rest of the week since I'm in the spirit ;)

    Books Read:

    I read half of The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa today, and I'll probably stay up late again finishing it. I know it wasn't on my list, but it just hit NetGalley today and I almost hyperventilated.


    Mini-Challenges:

    Wicked Awesome Books asked us to play matchmaker with two characters from different books.

    I think I would like to pair... 

    +

    They're both kind of wild and world-weary and a little bit broken, and neither of them would hesitate to give the other a kick in the butt when it was called for.


    Books from Bleh to Basically Amazing asked us to recommend two books to her.

    1. Any book: Chime by Franny Billingsley. You will never read another book like this one. It practically breathes magic and mystery and incredible language. Beautiful.

    2. Favorite from the readathon: OMG THAT IS SO HARD. Forever by Maggie Stiefvater or The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa...Forever or Iron Knight....Maggie or Julie....BUT I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH! I guess, since I haven't finished The Iron Knight yet, I will go with Forever by Maggie Stiefvater. But really, you should read them both.


    Last call to enter my mini-challenge! It ends at midnight EST.


    A HUGE thank you to the ladies at Pure Imagination, Reading Angel and Candace's Book Blog for hosting this awesome readathon and inviting me to host a mini-challenge. It's been a blast!

    9. Once Upon a Read-a-Thon Kickoff!

    Once Upon a Read-a-Thon

    The lovely ladies at Pure Imagination, Reading Angel and Candace's Book Blog are hosting a readathon today through Wednesday, and I'm participating!

    I'll also be hosting a readathon challenge with some prizes tomorrow (Tuesday), so be sure to come back and join in the fun!


    Here are the first books on deck for me:


    I'm finishing Forever by Maggie Stiefvater right now, so I suppose that counts as part of the readathon.

    I'll add more if I make it through those (unlikely =P).

    It's not too late to sign up! Head over to the info page to join the fun and win some prizes!
