Spring Readathon - What Are You Planning to Read?

[Kassandra]

This is the thread where we can discuss which books we are planning to read for the Spring Readathon. The Readathon will run from 12:01 a.m. on April 20th to 11:59 p.m. on April 26th.

[sonya]

I'll be reading from library books
1. the wind through the keyhole
2. the throat
3. Death Comes to Pemberly

the throat is quite a long book, so I'll stick to these three.

[LuAnn]

Those will get me started at least, although I may finish the first one before then as I have a review due on the 24th. But right now those are my 'plan'.

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

I have two that I need to finish to get "blackout" on my Reading Bingo board...
1) War and Peace 2) Eminent Victorians. Since I need to finish in April, I'm hoping to take a chunk out of them during the Readathon.

[Linda]

Hmmm, I'll be just back from a trip, so it'll be hard to know what reading mood I'll be in. All the Light We Cannot See has worked its way to the top of the pile, so maybe I'll begin with that one.

[Tina]

I am planning on rereading The Outlander

Im going to concerate on the books on my ereader I have over 200 classic I have never read or things like huckleberry finn which I was the first book I ever read myself and can't really rember it and I never did read tom sawyer. So my personal challenge to read as many of the ebooks I have as I can.

[Tracey]

I plan to adventure into Gone with the Wind by then...

[Dana]

I will be focusing on my massive NetGalley shelf, as well as ALA Best Books for Young Adults for community service credit at my local library.

Unfortunately, the readathon week coincides with my midterm week, but I will do my best. I will settle for a pathetic 1 book goal :P

[Kylie]

I will be reading the Song of Fire and Ice series or the Outlander series.

[Bianca]

I plan to keep on with my 100 book challenge! Falling behind D: hoping to catch up! :D

[Heather]

I plan to work to boost closer to my goal for year.. I'd like to read @ least 2 books during readathon..

[Hailey]

If I don't all ready have it finished by then,
As I've been wanting to read it for forever, but haven't had the chance!

As I've also been wanting to read this, and if I have the time,

My plan is to read Dragonwyck. It is a 400 page book so I am attempting to read it and finish by the time the readathon ends.

[Kassandra]

Great goal Cindy!

[Brandilyn]

I will be reading The Great Hunt and The Dragon Reborn both by Robert Jordan.

[Mindy]

I'm working on A Little Life. It's long and I work full-time and I'm not the fastest reader, but I'll read as much of it as I can through the week. I've heard great things about it.

[Holly, That Geeky One]

I'm currently roughly half way through North and South, which I can't get into, so I might dedicate this readathon to getting myself back into reading.

So I might go for:

Wool
Atonement
Othello
The Knife of Never Letting Go

[megan]

Finish for 50 book challenge: Inferno
Finish for ROYGBIV: Red Dog Saloon
Start for group read:Anna Karenina
