The Read-a-thon is near!
There are only two weeks between me and a day filled with reading and snackage. It turns out that I may have to attend a friend's birthday celebration that night, but I'm prepping as if I get read and read and read all day. This time round, I have no plans for the day after the read-a-thon so I can actually attempt to stay up all night.
The D.C. area is expected to receive up to an inch of snow tomorrow. (Eek!) The Boyfriend and I decided to run errands this morning so that we could enjoy the abundant sun before it disappears tomorrow. So, I donned a nice pair of BOOLEAN socks and we headed out.
The main purpose of our trip today was to hit the library. The Boyfriend's book (Brian Greene's The Hidden Reality
) was finally available for pick-up. I tagged along because I wanted to start amassing read-a-thon material. It took me awhile, but my search was successful.
The current titles I've got waiting for me are:
Death of a Cad
by M.C. Beathon
The Reader
by Bernard Schlink
The Magician's Elephant
by Kate DiCamillo
Deogratias
by J.P. Stassen
Last Day in Vietnam
by Will Eisner
I still need to grab another book or two before I feel like I have enough items on my table for that day. I think I shall grab two more graphic novels and one more work of fiction. Worse comes to worse, I still own more books that I can peruse that night. Once I've got all my books on hand, I will sort them into order so that I can simply work my way down the pile on Read-a-thon day.
Now I just need to figure out what snackage I want to have on hand. Any ideas?
So excited.
(Squee!)
