Where are you reading from today? Indianapolis, IN
What are your goals for the Readathon? I want to get through at least one or two books and put a dent in a few short story collections that have been on my shelf.
What book(s) are you planning on reading? I'm going to be picking books from the stack in the picture above. I know I won't get to them all, but I've got a good variety to choose from.
Are you excited? Of course! I love having some specific time carved out for reading.

Looks like a good stack to choose from. I do have a doggie who has taken over my reading spot! ;)
I'm neglecting The Classics Club so bad. Sad.
Go you! I've been using #CCReadathon for inspiration today and have blown through the better part of 100 pages of The Woman in White. It requires at least a bit of concentration, so I'm pretty happy with that.
I wish I could have had a readathon! Instead we played Cards Against Humanity... I suppose I shouldn't complain it was a lot of fun!
wordhits - Dogs make such great cuddle buddies.
Suey - That's a great goal for 2014, embrace the classics!
Andi - You are rocking the Wilkie! I love Marian from The Woman in White so much!
Kailana - That game is so much fun and so wrong all at the same time.
