Good very early morning read-a-thoners! It’s time to get started reading!! Or you can get started when you wake up… That’s what I’m doing. I just wanted to do a quick post telling you where all the mini challenges will be over the next 3 days, and what I’m going to be reading. Here are all the mini challenges!

Here is what I’m reading for the read-a-thon!
I know that I will not read all of these, but I going to try to get through as many as possible. Husband has a new video game coming out on Tuesday so that should keep him occupied while I READ. I’m really hoping to at least read 5 or 6 during the read a thon.

Ellen Hopkins books are such a good idea for this challenge I think I might add one of them to my challenge too =)

Just a little light reading! Wow! I couldn’t read some of the titles but I know the content of Ellen Hopkins novels is pretty heavy. I have yet to read one but Joli from Actin’ Up With Books made me look at one and they aren’t as scary as I thought they’d be! Still, I didn’t try to read meaning or anything I just looked at the words.
Have fun!

You have some good ones on your stack! I decided not to do any Ellen Hopkins books cause they are heavy reading (emotionally) and I don’t think I’m up for that. Deadly Cool is perfect for a readathon read!

I love Ellen Hopkins books. I’m not sure what books I’m going to read during this read-a-Thon. I’m in the middle of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I will probably start Kiss Me Deadly with different authors. After that I will have to post back tomorrow. This is my first read-a-Thon.
Those top three are HUGE! Good luck, Lori!

Deadly Cool is a fun, light read. I adore it and the sequel Social Suicide. I just started Arise by Tara Hudson and I have no idea what I’ll read after that. This is our first read-a-thon over at A Bookish Co-Op and we’re super excited.=)

Looks like you have a good pile lined up. I’m glad you all are hosting again. Hopefully, I can get some reading done. Good luck to you!

Deadly Cool is a great Read-a-thon read! It’s so fun, and very quick to get through, too! I read Social Suicide during another Read-a-thon and it went really well!

I’m hoping to get a little more reading done than normal. I am just hoping to finish the book I am on and read another. Not a very huge goal, but I’m a slow reader.
Amy @ Book Loving Mom recently posted..Follower Appreciation Giveaway
I am a slow reader, and I prefer books that are not huge emotionally. So I will pass any Ellen Hopkins for now because there is one that I read and it got me so emotional.

What a huge pile of books! I think I haven’t read any of those books, but heard good things about Deadly Cool
Happy Reading!

Ahh I’ve been wanting to read Deadly Cool for awhile now. And I still haven’t gotten around to buying any of Ellen Hopkins books, I’ve heard they’re really good so I’ll have to get one soon! Super excited to be part of the read-a-thon this year!
Happy reading!

Happy read-a-thon-ing, Lori! I will be reading with you in spirit but will be at Comic-Con this week & not sure how much I will be actually reading. Deadly Cool is an awesome choice – such a fast and funny read. Can’t wait to hear what you think of all your books!

I loved Burned and Impulse by Ellen Hopkins, both are great choices for the read-a-thon. I can’t wait to hear what you think of them. Good luck and happy reading!
Ash recently posted..Once Upon a Read-a-Thon 2012
Wow! Great books to pick! I wasn’t able to be nearly that ambitious. Hopefully though I’ll surprise myself. Thank you for hosting! Such fun!
It is almost the end of day 1 here in uk and have just linked up my post about my readathon book goals, which i posted on my blog yesterday. I am just about to participate in the challenges and also to do an update post on my blog but i am unsure how i am going to do my updates during this read-athon. I am debating all in one post with the challenges for the 3 days or to do an individual one for each day, help! lol xx
