I haven’t done a readathon in so long. I have no idea what I am going to read but I think I am going to focus on my “fun” books. Romances and YA. I am aiming to get some of the authors that have backlists waiting to be read off my TBR.
I have been reading for much of the day (days off are nice). I will update every couple of hours
Update #1
Hours Read: 2
Currently Reading: To Kiss A Texan by Jodi Thomas (pg 98)
Books Completed: None Yet
Challenge # 1-Welcome into the Unknown from at Books, Biscuits and Tea
Everyone has their own reading habits and their own reading space. What is yours like?
I can’t take a pic my space right now for 2 reasons. 1)It’s a big mess and 2) My camera, for some strange reason, was left in the freezer and now does not work. But I can describe it for you and link you to pictures of my shelves that I took when I had my camera ![]()
I am currently reading my first book, To Kiss A Texan, in a big orange comfy chair. I swear this big orange mush chair is the secret to success for all the various readathons I have participated in. I have been reading on this particular chair since I was a baby. I am snacking on…well nothing right now but I have a bag of almonds waiting for me. I am drinking a variety of teas from Adagio Teas. I am currently sipping on a Candy Cane tea. It’s yummy.
The pics of my shelves, my pride and joy, can be found here.

Yeah. It's crazy. I just can't stop the book hoarding. I currently have to shopping list of new books to buy as well. It's this issue I have.
DeleteI find that both sad and hilarious that your camera was left in the freezer -- it's so something I would do! Hope it works again soon!
ReplyDeleteI usually stuff books in there when they upset me too much so I was surprised to find my camera in there. It's in rice right now. Hopefully it fixes it.
Deletewow..all those books.i feel so at home!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Loooots of books. o.o But that's how it should be! ;) I'm sorry your camera made it's way into the freezer. My ipod once made it in the oven, so I know what it's like to find things in random places. :o (Yes, it still worked!)
ReplyDeleteYour reading place sounds cozy!
I lost a cell phone to the oven once. I was baking a batch of brownies and I heard a phone ringing. Lo and behold..melted phone ringing in the oven. It was a mess.
DeleteOh no!! That... sure sounds like a mess. ._.
DeleteOh my, you have LOTS of books in there! :o And what the heck was the camera doing in the freezer? Tee hee!
ReplyDeleteTea is always a good choice! Thank you for taking part in the challenge :)

I have no idea. Probably put it down for a "second" and forgot to pick it back up. lol.
DeleteHmmm . . . could your title be City of Fallen Angels perhaps? :)
ReplyDeleteYep yep :)
DeleteYou have read a ton of books! You go girl! Awesome job :) I like your picture puzzle by the way, but I won't ruin it for anyone else by guessing.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing awesome with your reading! Putting my 750 pages to shame. Keep up the good work! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the picture challenge ... I got it!
City of Angels
ReplyDeleteYep!
DeleteI totally giggled about the camera in the freezer - and then your comment about usually putting books in there that upset you! LOL I love that! I'm excited you read City of ANgels, and some of the TMI series, I really can't wait to dig into the 3 i have - and get more! And eventually read the Infernal Devices series :D
ReplyDeleteYou've made some awesome progress! I love that you're using a chair you've been reading in since you were little that's so neat! I like the pictures you chose for your picture challenge - esp the angel.
Thanks for joining us in our fun :D Hope you've had as fabulous of a time as we have :D

Lol. I am always finding books in the freezer. The last one that found its way in there was Sarah Palin's autobiography. I actually had to chisel it out with an ice pick. I just hope one day I don't find my Nook stuffed in the freezer.
DeleteThe TMI series is really amazing. I just finished it and it is so good. Books very rarely live up to my expectations but this series did. I still have to continue with the ID series. I am a bit wary of the series as I think I will like Will better than Jem.
Thanks for stopping by :)
Great book puzzle...and one that I could actually figure out :)
ReplyDelete♥Melissa
Oh no! we had the same date! xD shame on him!
ReplyDeleteFun teaser. Thanks for taking part :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, Muse goes perfectly with the Infernal Devices!! :O
