I have a pretty full schedule this weekend, but I am in on the Holiday #Readathon being hosted by Liza on Who RU. (click about icon for details). When I get home from work tonight will make a mini-pile of to-reads for this. Next week, will be donating two books each to my local school and my local library (new to town, so figure this is a good way to introduce myself). AND-I have a mini-challenge/giveaway for everyone. Here it is :
Read (or donate) a Middle Grade Novel, let me know what it is, what you did and I will enter you to in a giveaway for a book of your choice, up to 20.00 value. Making this international so you can make your pick from the Book Depository.
Happy reading everyone!

I'm reading a Sherlock Holmes: Choose Your Own Adventure book for the readathon. :D And I would donate some books this holiday season, except first they're 'donated' to my cousin, who eventually passes them on to the library! ;)

I'm reading Clever-Lazy by Joan Bodger (a library book already, so I won't be donating it... I'm looking for a good one to donate that they don't already have).

Good luck to those entering. I had planned on reading Secrets of the Crown by Adam Jay Epstein, but didn't have time to get to it. =)
