    Read-A-Thons

    I am so excited about these 2 upcoming Read-A-Thons, especially now that I am officially out of my year long slump and have my reading mojo back.

    I still have many restrictions, since my back surgeries, and per doctor’s orders, am not allowed to do much except rest, walk and sleep so these 2 Read-A-Thons will help me pass the time.

    Want to join with me?  Here’s the info:

    Tomorrow starts Pick-Your-Thon hosted by The Book Monsters

    The Monster Read and Review-a-thons are a great chance for us all to get together, read some fabulous reads, and get to those reviews that we know have been sitting there waiting to be done for a little too long. You can read as much as you want. Review till you cannot review anymore. Whatever works best for you! In addition to the Thons, we will be hosting some fun related challenges, great prizes, and a Twitter party.

    You decide how much you want to participate. Whether it is just for a few days in reading then switching to reviewing or only participating on one or the other… what you get done depends on you!This reading event is hosted by The Book Monsters. For more information and to sign-up, please see this post.

     

    And starting August 18th is:

    August 18, 2014 – August 24, 2014

    Read-A-Thon

    New year,  and hopefully, new reading habits, that’s why I will be participating in the Winter Respite Read-A-Thon starting Monday and runs thru Feb. 2nd. Want to join in? Sign up at Seasons of Reading hosted by Michelle from The True Book Addict.

    Last year was horrendous for me when it came to reading.  I can only remember once in the many, many years that I have been reading, that I had a reading slump that lasted this long.  I am determined to turn that around and thought this would be the perfect incentive.  Keep your fingers crossed!
