It’s early A.M. here on the east coast and early in the readathon, but I’m awake and ready to read. I’m starting with something quick and easy, like Fangirl or a reread of the Saga series, so I can finish fast and feel productive first thing in the morning.
We’re just beginning so pace yourself friends, pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea, get your stack, and settle in for a comfy day of reeeeaaadinnnngggg!
What’s first up on your readathon stack?
24in48 Readathon 
I’ve been reading This Savage Song since the readathon started and I am almost done with it….excited!! I don’t know what to pick up next. Thirteen Reasons Why perhaps?!?
Also hot chocolate all the way. Mhmm wouldn’t trade it for the world although tea is pretty good.

I haven’t been to bed, yet. It’s just after 3a here in Arizona and I’m trying to read Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho. I’m on page 110 of 371 and enjoying it so far, but I think I might need to pause and get some sleep after finishing this – the 9th – chapter. Or I might try to at least read through Chapter 11. (I’m reading this book as part of a group read in Goodreads and the next set of questions for it will go through Ch.11 . . .and are due to be released today.) 🙂

Usually, it’s tea. But today is so hot outside that it’s cool chocolate milk instead (what we call Cola Cao in Spain).
I’ve started with the second volume in the Grace Valley trilogy by Robyn Carr, Just Over the Mountain. It’s rural/small town + medical romance. I’m very new to the romance genre, but I’m liking it so far. I also love how many subgenres there are. You know exactly what you’re going to get. Like an adult version of fairy tales.
Happy readathoning!

I started with Out of Darkness by Perez last night & got an hour & a half in before I decided to just go to sleep & get up early to continue. Ended up sleeping later than I meant to, but I’m going to have a cup of coffee, read some of Headstrong (short bios of lady scientists, it’s awesome) & then head outside to mow while I listen to The Paladin Prophecy til I melt haha.

I’m starting with Illuminae since it’s the longest on my stack. I also love both coffee and tea, and hot chocolate and hot apple cider. I drink green tea at work on a daily basis during the winter, and coffee is usually a weekend treat for me or when I’m really tired.

I’m not a coffee drinker at all, so I’d order up tea, or just water really. I got in one book last night, a YA by Steve Brezenoff, Guy in Real Life. Great characters, I really loved it. Perfect start to my ‘thon! I wish I could go right to reading this morning, but I have to get a workout in before I can enjoy some more stories.
