Musings in the Morning: Read-A-Thon Wrap Up & To Be Read Pile

Well, I made it 21 hours in the 24 hour read-a-thon. 

I read through 1-3/4 books in that time period and finished another book, Pleasing the Ghost by Sharon Creech, the following morning. 

I read a lot less than I thought I would, but for me it wasn't about how many books I could read, or trying to outdo anyone else.  It was about trying something new, spending some time with my daughters doing what I love, and having fun - which I definitely did.  I look forward to October's Read-A-Thon.

If anyone is interested in joining me in October, let me know.  I would love to do this with you!

Went to the library last night with the girls.  Here's what I picked up:

• Lips Touch Three Times by Laini Taylor [for Laini's blog click here.  Such a creative and inspiring woman!]
• Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice
• The Siren Song (Book 2 in The Cronus Chronicles) by Anne Ursu
• When You Reach Me by Rebeccca Stead
• The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting
• Possessed by Kate Cann
• Cracking Creativity: The Secrets of Creative Genius by Michael Michalko [for my hopes to become a more creative person]

I am going to start with Laini's book first, and go from there.  Have you read any of these books yet?  If so, what did you think?
