Summer Wrap Up Readathon - Starting post
I will be working from that stack again, minus The Lost Hero. It will start with Naked Heat by Richard Castle, which is in process. I will also be starting Wolf Hall by Hillary Mantel for the readalong on it, and continue The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde for that readalong. I also have Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn going on my Nook. I will need to be starting Wards of Faerie by Terry Brooks soon as well. I will not worry about tracking my audiobooks for this. But almost sounds like I won't be getting much off that pile

High Summer Readathon Wrap Up
Saturday and Sunday I read 274 pages of The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. Didn't finish it, but should today. This brings my total pages for the Readathon to 639 pages. And I finished one book- Kindred by Octavia Butler. Pretty good on page count. I'll tackle the TBR pile in another readathon in August.

High Summer Readathon, start Day 6
Still reading The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. Not living up to my past history reading his books (Got through the entire Percy Jackson series in one week), Put then I wasn't exploring the strange world of making preserves. Or sitting in front of the tv.

High Summer Readathon day 3
I should finish up Kindred by Octavia Butler tonight. I've got less than a hundred pages left on it and her style always reads quickly. Not sure what will be up next, will know later on.
Picture from the listing for this house on Oldhouse.com
The Weylin house in Kindred is described as "It was a red-brick Georgian Colonial, boxy but handsome in a quiet kind of way, two and a half stories high with dormered windows and a chimney on each end. It wasn't big or imposing enough to be called a mansion." (p.67 in my edition) When I saw this house listing,the original brick portion of the house look as I'd imagine the Weylin House to be. This residence is also located in Maryland, where Weylin House is supposed to be.

High Summer Read-a-thon Starting line
Its time for the High Summer Read-a-thon. Since I've been having trouble keeping with my MT. TBR challenge, I'm going to work on that. The other day I went through my books and pulled out some I want to aim for trying to read over the summer.
And Delirium, which I forgot to include. This is enough for several of the summer read-a-thons, I'm sure.
But first, I am going to work on finishing Kindred by Octavia Butler (I think i started the day on page 58). I'm not going to count audiobook hours for this, but will probably keep listening to those, since i've several checked out.
