Counting Down to Readathon Day

I chuckled when I saw Elizabeth Willse’s post saying she might be more excited about the Readathon than she is about Halloween. Well I know I am. I always say that I like Readathon more than Christmas – and it’s true. I do. I really love Readathon.

I also chuckled about Elizabeth’s post because she has her snacks planned – we don’t but I’m already looking forward to them.

We always buy special snacks for Readathon – which means a trip to Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods – or both. We’ll stop working early tomorrow (early = 5pm) and wander the aisles, choosing “healthier” junk food. TJ’s has a new candy bar that TW mentioned a few days ago – I think we’ll have to try that for sure. What else will we end up with… no idea but it will be yummy.

And, I chuckled again because she has her books planned. I sort of know what I’m going to read… here’s a tentative list:

Some Nancy Drews for the rough moments – they’re easy to read when you’re really tired or after you’ve read some non-fiction for awhile.

Fitzwilliam Darcy, Rock Star because I think you kind of have to read something Jane Austen-ish during the Readathon.

I’ve got four picture books (or picture type books) from the Cybils shortlist challenge that I’ve been saving for the Readathon.

I’m reading Redemption by RK Ryals (a BlogHer.com community member) on my iPhone and iPad and I think I’ll try to finish it.

The Blue Tattoo is the only adult non-fiction on my list (I think…)

Mama Ruby and Doc are due back at the library soon so I’ll see how far I can get with those.

And, I’ve got Kneebone Boy from the Cybils Shortlist to round things out.

I wonder how far I’ll get… I can hardly wait to find out. I’m also going to make a donation to the NYPL for Elizabeth. You should make a donation, too.
