Dewey's #readathon Spring 2014: Off we go!

So it is 7am (yawn) and IT'S TIME FOR READATHON!!!!!

I programmed the coffee-maker - it's brewing up Red Velvet Archer Farms coffee as I stumble out into the kitchen.

It's also Saturday.  At 7am.  Ack. But I have brownies.

And a stack of books:

Nook - American Gods
The Whipping Boy
The Door in the Wall
The Phantom Tollbooth
The Go-Between
Fanny Hill
Landline
The Penguin Anthology of Twentieth-Century Poetry
The Age of Miracles (half-read)
The Ashford Affair (half-read)
Tampa (half-read)
Sex Criminals
Saga, Vol 3
Hawkeye: Little Hits
Bluefire app on iPad - The Truth About the Henry Quebert Affair, All That is Solid Melts Into AirHow to Lose a Duke in Ten Days, and It Takes a Scandal (I have four DRCs expiring in a week, eep)

A little combination of review reading, Newbery Project Reading, Overdue Reads Project reading, half-finished reading, and hella-awesome graphic novels reading.

Now, time for some shut-eye because the cats are doing that saddest-cat-ever-because-no-attention-for-meeeeee thing:

    Brownies can make just about any situation a little better! Good luck with the readathon. You've got some great looking books, especially the Rainbow Rowell. Have fun and keep reading! Love, Team Butler.

    1. They were doing that whole we-sleep-on-you-while-you-read thing. Which is adorable but makes me so sleepy :)

    2. Have you ever heard of a book The Secret of the Glitz? It was set on a seashore with a young niece who lost her parents and was depressed. The glitz was the sparkle on the waves as they rolled in on the afternoon sun. I read it as a ten year old in the 80's but haven't been able to find it?
