I'm going to be participating in my first readathon ever with Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon next Saturday. It starts at seven AM for me so I'm taking that as a good sign I can do it. If it had started late at night or too early in the morning I wouldn't have been able to stay away for it and would have been demotivated.
I've already got a small stack of books that I think are doable for it. I have a classic, a Newbery book, a book that's been on my shelf awhile and a book I want to read just because.
The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane
Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo
The Beach House by Jane Green
Somewhere in Time by Richard Matheson
If I don't have Moby-Dick done by then (which I probably won't since I'm only 300 pages in right now) and I finish these four then I'm going to spend the rest of my time working on that beast.
Getting three of these books (minus Winn-Dixie since it belongs to my girls) out of my bookcase and into my rummage sale pile makes me very excited!
