I'm hosting the first #LittleReadaThon! It's super low key and late notice, so don't worry if you can or can't participate, or if you can only devote a day or two :) In the future, there will be some with more preparation, but due to my increasingly stressful reading schedule I've decided I need the push and motivation if a read-a-thon.
It'll be running for a week starting this Monday, September 1st! I will be posting updates on my blog: http://littlebookowl.com and on twitter, using the hashtag #LITTLEreadathon. I will be hosting some reading sprints occasionally aswell, using #LITTLEsprints :)

My TBR:
- Stardust by Neil Gaiman
- Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
- The Iron Trial by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare

If you are joining in, which books do you plan on reading?
