Summer Wrap-Up Read-A-Thon

Hosted by Jude @ In Between and Jennifer @Some Like It Paranormal

Starts today and ends on August 12th. You can read whatever you want and as much or little as you want. If you can only participate during a few days of the read-a-thon that is okay too. You don't have to have a blog, feel free to follow along on twitter, goodreads, or facebook. They will be tweeting with hashtag #SWUR. They have a ton of fabulous challenges and giveaways planned. Click on image or their links to join in the fun.

I love read-a-thons, heck I love any excuse to read but I like chatting with fellow

book lovers and this is the perfect format. 

Here are my reading goals:

Every Day

Beautiful Disaster

Blackwood

Dream of Me

City of Demons

I Hunt Serial Killers

The Uninvited

On the Island

The Taken

Destined  for An Early Grave

Juliet Immortal
Seawitch
In a Fix

Now the titles may all change but I'd like to read at least one a day.
I will post my progress here nightly.
