Sassymonkey just posted about the 24 hour read-a-thon happening on Saturday and don't I wish I had the time to participate. It sounds like so much; twenty-four hours of nonstop reading. Is there anything better?
Honestly, I don't think so. But I have plans and if I participate in Dewey's challenge, I won't be able to do anything else. Hmm... maybe I can do a mini-challenge, like read from 1 p.m. on Saturday to 1 a.m. Sunday morning. I'm liking the sound of that.
OK, so now I just need a reading list...
The Amadeus Net by Mark Rayner
The Shadow Queen by Anne Bishop
Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
a chapter or four of Bleak House by Charles Dickens
Cook with Jamie by Jamie Oliver
The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets by Eva Rice
Dry Storeroom No. 1 by Richard Fortey
and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows
I'm so excited now for my *modified* challenge!

I'm hoping (aiming?) to get in about 10 hours of reading. If I get that in I'll be happy. If I get more than that in I'll be really happy.
(My word verification is "miltred" which amused me for some reason.)
Miltred? Ha; I wonder if the word verification program ever repeats itself?
Your goal of ten hours is a good one; I hope you make it. I imagine I'll get about six or seven hours of reading in during my twelve.
I am changing my hours around a little bit for the same reason. In fact, I should really be reading now, but no, instead I am here bloghopping! Whoops!
Have fun!
