I couldn't resist ... Summer Wrap-up Read-a-Thon

so, my unplugged status didn't last very long. I wanted to tell you about this read-a-thon. And yes, I wanted to signup!

You might not have noticed... I like read-a-thons. You did? ;-) Okay, so you know I love doing all kinds of read-a-thons... 24-hour, week-long, genre specific, reviews, doesn't matter-sign me up. In this case, I'll just be returning from vacation. I had my dates wrong and thought that there was no way I could join. Woo Hoo!

This is actually too far away to plan specific books. I will be trying to read stuff to complete open challenges and finishing the huge "books stacked by my reading chair" list. Not only that, I was going to be unplugged in August. I don't know how many challenges I'll complete but I can keep track of any reading I do.
