It is really okay because in not too many hours it will be time for the Dewey's Read-a-thon! According to the Weather Channel it is supposed to rain all weekend, but since I will probably be spending a lot of time either on the computer or maybe doing a bit of reading, I really don't care! (Or, I am going to pretend that I don't care, at least.)
I have been following the read-a-thon since the beginning, but with the exception of the very first one, I have never officially signed up. I am not sure why that is, but I am always around. Last one I had just joined Twitter, so I was commenting on blogs and spending large amounts of time chatting with people. It was really a lot of fun! So, if you are like me and haven't committed to either cheer-leading or readng, you can still partici
pate, discover new blogs, and maybe get some reading done.In the spring, I didn't read at all, but I think I might sneak some pages this time. I sort of wish I had thought ahead and made a 'maybe' pile and took a picture, but I think I hate commitments... That's the same with reading as other avenues of my life. The only for sure I am considering is Geektastic edited by Holly Black and Cecil, uh, I'd need to look her last name up to make sure I am spelling it right. It's due back to the library on Monday and I think it has holds, so no renewals. Otherwise, I am not going to make any plans. It's not like I have any shortage of books on my TBR pile and out from the library.
Otherwise, I will likely be cheering people on. I am going to skip Six Sentence Saturday for this week, because I doubt anyone will be interested. If I do in fact read for the read-a-thon I will just review the books I read in that method. I will do my Sunday post, though, because I really like that post.
Anyway, happy reading to everyone! The piles I have seen are crazy, but I think everyone is going to have a lot of fun!
Good luck tomorrow! I'll be cheering rather than reading along but I think it'll be fun.
ReplyDeleteI love your Sunday posts, too!!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I still think you should just sign up. Seriously, don't look at it like a commitment...just do whatever the heck you feel like doing whenever the heck you feel like doing it. Of course, I guess you can do that without signing up, huh? In other words, shut up Debi...Kelly knows what she's doing.
Have a great weekend!!!
I will be cheering readers too, although in an unofficial way! I'll be studying and working on papers all weekend, so I'll cheer people up from time to time (it's always a good distraction from the work that's supposed to be done!)
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll have fun and that you will be able to read a few pages too!
I don't care if you aren't cheering officially. I'm just glad you're participating!I just found out my library had Geektastic! I hope it comes today so I can check it out.
ReplyDeleteI am the same way about committing to books! In fact, I made a read-a-thon pile and the first book on my list, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, I immediately lent to a friend. So knowing me, none of those books on my list will be read.
ReplyDeleteOh ya! I'm glad that you'll be able to hang around a bit tomorrow after all. It's supposed to be sunny in Dallas, which makes me really happy. The rain makes me want to sleep. :P
ReplyDeleteHave a great time!!
I'm participating, but I don't have an official list. Just a stack next to my bed. And many, many full bookcases throughout the house! I know I'll find several books to keep me busy. I'm planning to start at 7 and hope to go at least to midnight. So I'm off to get some much needed sleep. Good luck and have fun tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteI'll be cheering people on too. Good luck and have fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd seriously, you are lucky to have wet weather. The place I live is sweltering hot, and you seriously begin doubting if winter is at hand or summer!
I've cheered unofficially the past few read-a-thons but I've made it official this year!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the happy reading wishes and visiting my blog. Like you said, it is indeed a little bit like Christmas as far the excitement goes.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first read-a-thon and I'm loving it! Everyone is so nice and enthuasiastic and I'm tempted to put exclamations signs at the end of each sentence, lol.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words, and good luck for the rest of the day!!!
Well I appreciate you coming by to cheer me on! I hope you get a chance to do some reading but either way, having fun is the most important task of the day! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, I didn't sign up for the read-a-thon. Was tinkering with my camera with a group of friends for our Halloween-themed photoshoot. I hope you had fun reading! :)
