I've got a bunch of short books that I plan to read next week. I'm not sure how much reading is going to get done since I've got pre-admittance on Monday and then the actual surgery on Wednesday.

It's a simple procedure. However, while I wait on things to be done during pre-admittance I'll read and then I'll read until they take me back for the surgery. I'll more than likely sleep the rest of the day after that but if I can read I'll read.

I definitely know you will. Do you know what you'll be reading? I have an overly ambitious reading pile for this readathon.

I used to love the diaries when I was younger! I loved the american girl ones too!

My books for the readathon are: This Savage Song (Monsters of Verity, #1) by Victoria Schwab Our Dark Duet (Monsters of Verity, #2) by Victoria Schwab Obsidian (Lux, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout The Mark of Athena (The Heroes of Olympus, #3) by Rick Riordan Isla and the Happily Ever After (Anna and the French Kiss, #3) by Stephanie Perkins Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon

A very ambitious book pile... but I think I can do it! I might not live... but I think I can do it! if I can get through 4 of those books at least, I will consider myself very accomplished.

I still love the diaries. I find them pretty entertaining still. My favorites are the royal diaries honestly. I've read the Elizabeth one and now I'm currently reading the Anastasia one. I'm hoping to finish it and then get back on Our Dark Duet by the time the read-a-thon starts.

I'm just trying to finish my goodreads goal at this point by finishing something. Anything. I've got a bunch of things started that I lost interest in about half way through them. I want to finish those but I don't think that those are going to be happening. I'm about 2 books away from finishing my 75 books this year. I was really hoping that I'd get to 100 but that just is not in the books this year.

And here is me, struggling with my own goal and having too much to read. Lol. I just need 16 more books to finish my 75 year goal. XD I'm fairly sure I can get through if it my fiancee will just LET ME READ!!!!

I slowed down a great deal when we moved back in August/September but picked back up a little last month.
