The Huge TBR Readathon begins!


Welcome one and all to The HUGE TBR Readathon! :) I did a count of all the books I currently own that I need to read and let's say it's nearing 400 books! That is a lot.. seriously. Wow.

Come and join me in my insanity. The fun starts today at whatever time you start reading (it's Monday here!) and will run until this coming Sunday (so June 14-20) . I'm also putting aside Monday to write up all my reviews.

Thanks to Bloggiesta, I have a whole week of blog posts scheduled so I can literally just sit around and read. My plan is to work out for at least 30-45 minutes a day, only spend about 1 hour online tops, and then read most of the day each day.

Here is the pile I'm hoping to get through:

Finish Reading:
Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin (audio)
What Happened on Fox Street by Trisha Springstubb
The Familiars by Adam Jay Epstein and Andrew Jacobson
Stork by Wendy Dolsol

Hopefully also read:
Spy Glass by Maria V. Snyder
This is Me From Now On by Barbara Dee
Dead Beautiful by Yvonne Woon
Nightshade by Andrea Cremer
Keys to the Demon Prison by Brandon Mull (Fablehaven #5)
The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan
Young Bess by Margaret Irwin
Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs
The Glass Maker's Daughter by V. Briceland
The Buccaneer's Apprentice by V. Briceland
Highway Robbery by Kate Thompson
Wilde: 4 Plays
The Reign of Elizabeth I by Carole Levin
The Guild Leader's Handbook by Scott F. Andrews

Wowzers. So, finish 4 books and read 14 more. Wish me luck! I'm guessing about 50 or so hours of reading, what do you think?

Fill out the Mr. Linky below to your actual Readathon post please! If you are signed up for my Comment Contest, I will give you 10 points for participating! So make sure to stop by on Sunday to post up your final post! :)

  15. I have a huge tbr as well, but I'm kind of changing the readathon slightly to help me get through my library tbr. I wish I had time to get to my tbr and one day I will. Hope you don't mind my personal modification - I love readathons!

  17. What a great, great, great idea! My TBR pile is huge, too, very close to yours in numbers in fact, so that could definitely help. I'm joining, even though I won't be able to read that much this week! :D
