The Happy Booker: Wonderfully Wicked Read-a-thon

I’ve been looking forward to participating in the Wonderfully Wicked Read-a-Thon hosted by those crazy awesome ladies at My Shelf Confessions. I am WICKEDLY behind in what I’m supposed to be reading and reviewing due to the fact that I’ve decided it would be a good idea to work 2 part time jobs instead of 1 in these months leading up to Christmas. This will be great for my bank account, not so much for my free time. So, this week, I really need to schedule some hours to devote to reading.

I’m keeping my goals fairly simple, I’m only challenging myself to read AND review 4 books between now and Oct 20th. Here they are:

PLUS I am challenging myself to participate in all of the challenges, comment on at least 20 of the participating blogs, write at least 4 update posts, AND complete 3 reviews for books I’ve finished but haven’t reviewed yet. So a tall order for my busy schedule, but if it was easy, it wouldn’t be wicked!

What are your plans for the read-a-thon? Are you participating in the challenges or just focusing on reading? Have you read any of the books I’m planning to read this week? Be sure to leave a link to your blog in your comment so I can visit you and check out your Read-a-thon plans too!
