I am so so so so excited, because I am participating in my first ever 24 hour Read-A-Thon this weekend for The Reading In Between The Lines YA Book Club on Goodreads. It begins tomorrow night Friday January 17th at midnight and ends on Saturday at midnight. This is a wonderful way to mark off some books off of my tbr list and to relax after a long week of exams. I plan to read at least six books, but if I can read more that would be great:) I will be doing updates at the beginning and end of the Read-A-Thon and every other hour. Each upe date will be for two hours, because I don't have time to do updates ever hour.
Here is my TBR list for the Read-A-Thon :
Then if my eyes start to hurt I will listen to an audio book:
