Bout of Books Read-a-Thon

Posted on 08/22/2011 by Bookish Brunette | 18 Comments

Yeah… I don’t ‘sign up’ for things, because it usually means I am anti-productive to the EXTREME… but peer pressure is such a bitch! I blame Book Bender… Smash… Missie…

    Well, I must say that I look forward to your "Day in Six Words". I'm sure you'll get pretty creative with that! And I usually have a hard time committing to things too. Once I do, I almost sabotage it.

    I may have let out a little SQUEE! when I saw you had signed up. :) I'm looking forward to your day in six words, too!

    I'm a huge victim of self-sabotage, too, but I joined anyway (and just keep joining and joining basically every read-a-thon out there!)Good luck!

    I so want Rot & Ruin after your zombie vlog. Hope you love The Body Finder as much as I did. I caved also. 1st week of school is not good for the weary. I'll see you around the read-a-thon. ;)

    I liked The Body Finder. It's also a super-quick read and you have Jay to swoon over :)

    I really wish I could participate. School starts this week and things are all kinds of crazy. Plus my reading list has seriously took a backseat to Wills and Estates :( (Think of me while you are reading!)

    5 in one week is very ambitious for me. Too bad I'm such a book slacker lately.

    I love goals. I'm a checklist maker…I make a checklist and put things on it that I've already done…just so I can check them off. Seriously. But I'm back in school this week too, so now my checklists are study related. Bugger.

    Hmm…that's what everyone else is doing, too. I guess I did it wrong. Should I do it this way and do an explanation post or keep it as is at this point?
