The day has come and here we go! I'm (hopefully) awake and getting caffeinated! I have my book stack (see below) and will be aiming for 2 books! Lately, I've been a slow reader so I'm not going to push myself, I just am going to enjoy the experience! I'll be updating in chunks and participating in as many challenges as I can. I will probably read here and there amongst these selections, I know my book A.D.D. will probably kick in at some point. If I add or swap a book with another one I'll update that too.
My theme for this readathon is "spooky/suspenseful" reads.

Book(s)

Notes: The Pram was good. I was a bit disappointed by the ending, but it was still a good read. I'll post a review soon. Head Like a Hole is a complete mystery to me, I'm not sure what the heck is going on but I do like it! I'm pleasantly confused!
