Last month, my reading pile was so far beyond crazy and overwhelming, it wasn't even funny! I had 13 "Must-Reads" due to various blog tours, read-a-thons, etc. I had promised a manuscript read-over to a friend. I wanted to read as many of the NINE Percy Jackson books as I could before the final book came out...uhhhhhh, this coming Tuesday. (Well, HEY! I'm on THE MARK OF ATHENA. One more to go!!!)
This month is decidedly less crazy. 1) I took on fewer books because I knew I was doing an event. (Well...I'm still doing, like, 14 features. But most of them aren't reviews, so...!) Plus, I thought I might want to write a bit! 2) Um....I deserve a break, right?? 3) I've actually read almost every book I've committed onto my calendar for the month already! For once!!!
Which means...I can read whatever I want. Which means...BINGE READING SERIES, OH YEAH!!! (See the lucky winners below!)
...What was that about events, you say? More details will be coming soon, but I'm going to have A Week of Shooting Stars from October 19th to 26th. There will be some great authors stopping by and some awesome giveaways, too! I got the idea over the summer after a stretch of reading multiple similar-themed books. Two of my favorites from the bunch are coming out in October, so I scheduled the event around them. Look forward to more info soon!
And now...onto the crazy!
