The Read-a-thon is here!


It's hard to believe it is time for another read-a-thon! I still remember the one at this time last year. The guy was doing yard work and I was trying to comment around ladder holding... It's weird the things you remember! I have been lurking for the read-a-thons since the very beginning, but never actually read. Normally it is because I read so much anyway that it is a good excuse for a break. This year it is because my reading sucks and I don't want to torture myself trying to make something happen that is crashing and dying so far... Maybe in October things will be different!

In the meantime, I will be visiting blogs and cheering people on. I didn't sign-up to cheerlead, either, but I haven't actually signed up since 2007. I am just that slack! Happy reading to everyone!

    I've been lurking around the readathons for the last year too. I do love the enthusiasm of everyone participating. I think I add more books to my wishlist on readathon weekend than any other weekend!

    I know! The books that I add are crazy! Not to mention the bad things it does to my blog reader...

    I've never been a cheerleader, but I've read in seven, including this one! Fun, fun, fun.

    Sorry to see you're struggling with reading these days. As an older reader, I say, If your reading isn't holding your interest, PUT DOWN THE BOOKS. Get another ten or so and see if they are better. Nothing worse than trying to read a so-so book.

    Thanks for stopping by! And I agree with readerbuzz ... put those books down and try different ones. Life is too short to read bad books.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

I am so sorry, but I turned anonymous commenting off. I have had it from the very beginning, but that is how the spam is getting by my spam filter at the moment. If it is a big deal I will turn it back on and moderate all comments. I also changed moderation from older than 14 days to older than 7.
