Gosh, I can't believe it's nearly time for the readathon again! Go here for details if you don't know what I'm going on about:
Exciting stuff. That's Patrick during April's readathon, having made off with my book!
My pile is - as it was last year - modest. I'm going to use it to catch up on a couple of challenges; specifically this one:
http://www.myfriendamysblog.com/2009/07/newsweek-youre-on-fifty-books-for-our.html and my very own challenge celebrating New Zealand Book Month :)
http://justaddbooks.blogspot.com/2009/09/business-time.html and don't forget the tasty badges that http://astripedarmchair.wordpress.com/ and http://bkclubcare.wordpress.com/ made for it. (Still time to join. Runs until the end of October).
So. Here's my pile:
The City & The City by China Meiville
Salt by Maurice Gee
The Changeover by Margaret Mahy
The Dark Blue 100-Ride Bus Ticket by Margaret Mahy
Regeneration by Pat Barker
Queen of Sorcery by David Eddings
I'm also going to start reading earlier than I did last year. My time, the readathon starts at midnight Saturday. But I'm going to start on Saturday afternoon, when Patrick is down for a nap. The bonus extra of that is, that on Sunday afternoon, once my 24 hours are up, I'll be all over the cheerleading, like a cat on a lap.
Good plan, I think. I hope it holds up ...

I like that you know exactly what you want to read. My selection have been all over the map, and I keep changing my mind.
Woot for the Eddings! :) I'll probably add some of the Belgariad to my pile, if I haven't finished rereading them by then!
And I'm about to start my NZ book-can't wait!
Alyce: I need a plan, otherwise I'll end up reading the TV Guide, or something.
Eva: Yay! :D
I can't manage the read-a-thon, but I picked up The Changeover today for NZ Book Month. Maybe we can compare opinions after we've both read it? Have to finish my massive fantasy tome first though.
Kerry: I'd love to! What's your massive fantasy tome?
Hee!!! That is the cutest little picture of Patrick :) I think you have a reader in the works! I can't wait to read along with you!!
Chris: in a house full of books, I think it's inevitable! I can't wait to get reading either :D And I shall be by in my capacity as cheerleader to cheer you on :)
fun! Good luck! I can't wait to get started. This will be my first time participating.
Have Fun!
