24 Hour Read-a-thon: The Beginning and meme

Hope all are set for the 24 Hour Read-a-thon! It is 6:30 pm here. I too am ready. To read and cheerlead! 

1) Graces Under Fire by Julie Hyzy

2) Velocity by Alan Jacobson

3) Out at Night by Susan Arnout Smith

4) The Elephant Tree by RD DONALD

5)The Doctor and The Diva by Adrienne McDonnell

6) The Weight of Shadaws Alison Strobel

and last but not least..

7) The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson

I hope to finish three of those, what with my reading slump. Except for 5 and 6, all others are crime fiction. I will read poetry too. 

And as a part of Team Satire, M book bloggers, I will be there to cheer you up! 

Meme:

Where are you reading from today?

See above!

3 facts about me …

I am a poet. I teach Math. And I absolutely love tea!

How many books do you have in your TBR pile for the next 24 hours?

7-8

Do you have any goals for the read-a-thon (i.e. number of books, number of pages, number of hours, or number of comments on blogs)?

Not really. I am in some kind of reading slump. So  my only goal is to get back to reading!

If you’re a veteran read-a-thoner, any advice for people doing this for the first time?

Don't put pressure. Simply enjoy by reading. That's about it!
