I'm hoping to get some reading in today, I really want to finish Nights at the Circus by Angela Carter, I'm half way through and absolutely love it! Although I have a copy with a teeny font. Stopping me completing it will be stacks of housework, marking and bits and bobs to do in town. I'm also supposed to be off to the cinema later, which will no doubt include food.
I'm also officially signing up for Dewey's Read-a-Thon. I took part in both of last years and really enjoyed it both times. I've never managed the full 24 hours, maybe I'll manage this year as it is half-term so I will have plenty of time to recover.
Worryingly, I've been eying up the books on my stacks for the last few weeks making mental booklists of what I should be reading. At the moment I'm veering towards some novellas, The Hunger Games and some of my Once Upon a Time choices. I'll also make sure I have some graphic novels and an audiobook on hand for those tired moments.
I'm still debating whether to be a cheerleader or not. Last year I had problems with pages not loading properly, and a few sites made my computer open them hundreds of times and then crash my computer. I'm considering searching through the signups before hand and adding 10 participants to my google reader and just cheerleading those few. That way I can pick readers with similar book tastes to me and I will have checked out their pages before hand.

Good luck with the read-a- thon. I am out all day on that day so I know I won't be able to join in. Maybe I might be able to actually join the October one.
I keep contemplating the Read-A-Thon, but haven't yet joined in one.
I have only been blogging (in earnest) for almost a year.

So many interesting adventures out there, from Once Upon a Time to the Read A Thon to Brothers Karamazov which I'm so glad you joined! I'll be seeing you at all those places.
I hope you're having fun with the readathon! :D
Hope you are having lots of fun with the Read A Thon!
This cheer is so cheesy,
you'll get a little queasy,
but reading will be breezy!
