This might sound lame, but I’ve never joined a read-a-thon until now. I’ve always wanted to, but I didn’t know anyone who hosted them before I had this blog. I still don’t, to be honest, but thankfully, I came across this post by Jess @ Such A Novel Idea and I thought, why not join? (I follow awesome people and that’s A+ for me)
Tackle Your TBR Pile Read-a-thon is hosted by the ladies of Tressa’s Wishful Endings and Colorimetry. Basically, the whole thing kicked off last September 8 and would end this September 21. Anyone can join, you don’t need to be a blogger or reviewer or anything like that. All you need to have is a social media platform, may it be Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc, where you can record your read-a-thon progress.
To be honest, my TBR pile is mountain-high already, and even as I snatch a book off the pile, there will be four or five more to replace it. It’s a never ending cycle, and I can only endure so much *sniffs dramatically*. So yeah, this read-a-thon thing will be a good way to reduce my growing TBR list.
Sadly, I did not finish any book last September 8 or 9. And don’t look at me like that. I’ve been busy. But just yesterday I’ve finished Last Stand of Dead Men, which I can’t review since it’s the 8th book in a series. I’ll include it anyhow. My target for this read-a-thon is 12 books. That’s right, 12. I’m going to be breaking my back and working hard for my first read-a-thon ever, so wish me luck, yeah?

Wow 11 books? That’s a lot and I’m sure you’ll accomplish them ^_^ I really wish I can participate, but I am really busy with school. Read a thons are always fun so I get sad when I miss one! Tackle those books!

School is out where I live until further notice because of some conflict between a rebel group and the government, so I thought I’d take advantage of the free time. And I’m sure there’ll be plenty of other read-a-thons you can join once you’re not busy anymore! I really hope I can finish the 11 books. Thank you for dropping by, Leigh!
Wow you have made a lot of progress! Wish I read that fast :) Glass Houses is on my series to-read list too :) Good luck with the rest of the Read-a-thon!
There’s no school for me this week so I was able to use up the extra time. Anyway, thank you! Glass Houses was pretty enjoyable. Good luck to you, too and happy reading! x
