Once Upon a Readathon Kickoff!

The Once Upon a Readathon is finally here!  This fun event is hosted by myself,  Lori at Pure Imagination, and Angela at Reading Angel.  Sign ups were posted ages ago and today it finally starts!  For more info and to sign up (Sign ups close at noon, EST 7/11) go to the sign up page.  You do not have to have a blog to participate but you do have to post updates somewhere.  Twitter, Facebook, all those places work.  If you update on twitter be sure to add the hashtag #OUReadathon so we can all see how everyone is doing!  Also, to qualify for all the awesome prizes you need to participate in at least one challenge.  

There are two challenges each day.

Day Three:

I have quite the stack of books I want to read and it's hard to say what will get read but here are the books I hope to get to.
family by Micol Ostow- This one is in verse and will hopefully be a quick read.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I hope you'll take the time to leave a comment. I try to reply to comments on here and/or through email (if you have it set so you can get replied to by email) but I'm not ALWAYS able to.

I do not accept awards because I do not have the time to repost. I thank you for considering me and your comments are the best award I could get!
