Readathon

Today starts A Winter's Respite Readathon, which lasts until the 29th. I probably won't update every day, but I will try to at least every two or three.
My goal is to read at least a book a day, and more on my days off. I'm hoping to finish most of the  connections challenge I am doing on Goodreads. Each book has to link to the previous one, by title, author, or publication date.
I am starting with A Dark and Brooding Gentleman by Margaret McPhee, which linked to Margaret Mayo.

A Winter's Respite Readathon


From the Seasons of Reading website:
This is the official sign up for A Winter's Respite Readathon. Dates are January 16 - 29, starting at 12:00 am Monday the 16th, and ending at 11:59 pm on Sunday the 29th. Times are central standard time so adjust your times accordingly. Yes, the readathon is now two weeks long! I, for one, am pretty excited about that!

Of course, like most readathons, the books read must be novels or novellas, adult or young adult are fine, and you can read children's books too (as long as you do read some novels too). Note: Non-Fiction is also okay! You DO NOT have to participate the entire two weeks. Join in when you can, start in the middle, end early...whatever works best for your schedule. As with all of my readathons, it will be a time for relaxed reading during which we can personally challenge ourselves and whittle away our ever looming TBR piles/shelves/libraries. 

This sounds like fun, and since there aren't any reading requirements for this readathon, I will join in. I'm in the Eastern time zone, so it will start at 1 am here.
