I am a night owl, always have been and more than likely always will be... so when I came across this read-a-thon on Jami's blog (YA Addict) I knew I had to sign up! I will be participating each night and will post a "results" posting at the end of the challenge. I would say wish me luck but I think my family will need luck more than I will... momma is out of order this week!
Here is my list of books so far (I am hopeful.. Kelli don't laugh) and why I chose them:
(Review) Hunger Games and Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
To prepare myself for the final installment
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
Because I have been anxiously waiting for 2 years! Kelli & myself are at great odds when it comes to Peeta and gale (yes I purposely did not capitalize his name... & I spelled in correctly Kelli). See Catching Fire Second Opinion Review for the battle of words.
The Ghost of Crutchfield Hall by Mary Downing Hahn
It seems like a quick, spooky read and becasue this is an ARC that we received that needs to be reviewed.
And Then Everything Unraveled by Jennifer Sturman
And Then I Found Out the Truth by Jennifer Sturman
I won both of these from a giveaway @ YA Addict! and I just got them in the mail. And I am a sucker for any type of love story.
The Ghost and the Goth by Stacey Kade
I bought this one because I thought the cover was so cute, then I gave it to Kelli to read and she told me it was my kind of read ;0)
... just in case you are new to I'd So Rather Be Reading... I (Natalie) openly admit that Kelli is my "filter"... don't be jealous, you can benefit by reading her reviews :0)
Nat,
ReplyDeleteOkay, first off, it's Gale, not Gail. Get it right or pay the price! Just kidding. And you can't capitalize his name because you know I was right with my Gale quotes and you can't refute them. Oh yeah, I said it...
That is a good list, but we both know you will probably just read and then re-read Mockingjay! But you better read Crutchfield Hall because my delicate psyche cannot handle another ghost story.
Are you going to give your kids benadryl so they sleep longer? I would, :)
Just in case you didn't see my comment, I have an award for you at my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteYou girls are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteAwesome books you have lined up! Can't wait to see you there!! :)
LOL EAK giving the kids benadryl so they sleep longer - that's not something I will condone - but HMM sounds like an idea to me LOL JUST KIDDING!
ReplyDeleteExcited to have you on board! :D

Alright Kelli, when I start this read.a.thon @ 8 tonight the gloves are coming off! I spelled gay... I mean gale's name right... I am out of clever comeback because I am TRYING to refrain from reading Mockingjay, but don't worry they will come :0)
ReplyDelete@ Stephanie and The Paperback Princess, thank you so much for the awards. The post will be up first thing tomorrow to pass it on!
Bring it on, Nat---I'm ready! And I have found LOTS of Gale supporters. But let's save our best for TBV post!
ReplyDeleteThe Ghost and the Goth looks like a great read! And I must admit I'm Team Peeta. I haven't read Mockingjay yet though so I have no idea what happens.
ReplyDeleteNice choice of books and Psstt... I use Kelli as a filter for my book buying too :)
