Another Read-A-Thon

I know I am a tiny bit late and my boss, Gina, you know the one that tells me I have to wave.....waving.... waving...waving...is probably going to take this out of my paycheck this week for being late with this announcement BUT better late than never, I say.  Right?   Right?  Come on...help me out here....

Anyway ...I just found this out myself today via Michelle from The True Book Addict, who posted about it.  It starts today and runs until March 1st.  Here are the details for those who need some help with ALL of those challenges.

Hosted by Stephanie at Once Upon a Chapter

Details from Stephanie's blog:

Yes, I know...another read-a-thon. But, as I was getting ready to have another self-imposed read-a-thon anyway, this couldn't come at a better time. Stephanie at Once Upon a Chapter is hosting this one.  Here are the details from her blog:

*Will run from 2/24 (12:01 AM) to 3/1 (11:59 PM).

*If you are a blogger, please do a post announcing your participation. If you want to do all of your updating from one post, that is completely fine by me. (You can also grab the smaller button below.)

*I will be having mini-challenges throughout the week. Two for US residents and one for my international friends!

*I can’t stress this enough: HAVE FUN with the read-a-thon!


So run right on over there and sign up.   I did.      OK...got to go and start reading.   
But before I do...how is everyone?  Where are you all hiding?  Stop by and tell us what you have been up to,  your progress, what's new, just chit chat.  Lately I have been waving to myself and let me tell you, I look darn foolish, BUT, Gina keeps telling me that is part of my job description so ..........

Happy Valentine's Day

Hello my favorite addicts!!!  Just stopping by to wish everyone a very Happy Valentine's Day!!  I hope today you get lots of love, flowers, cards and most of all......BOOKS and CHOCOLATES.  OH YES  CHOCOLATES....lots of chocolates!!!  I don't know about you but....ssssshhhhhhh  books, challenges, chocolates and ice cream are my addictions.  And I heard a rumor some where that chocolates were non fattening on Valentine's Day...can't remember where I heard that from......ooops...I just remembered....it was me having a wishful thinking moment  lol

While I am here, just wondering, how is everyone doing on their challenges?  How many books did you read in January?  I read 5 books in January and 3 so far this month.  Not great but better than what I did last year.

Also, I hope you all don't mind if I tell you about another hat that I wear and that I would like to extend an invitation for you to join in case you are interested.  I am a partner, along with Molly from Review By Molly, in Partners In Crime Tours (www.partnersincrimetours.net).  We are a virtual PR company for authors of mystery, suspense and crime novels.  We are always looking for new bloggers that would like to become part of our group to host and review in our tours.  If interested, you can email me at CMash@Partnersincrimetours.net or fill out submission form on our site.  Would love to work with you.

Have a great day!!!  I'm off to read and eat some of those non fattening chocolates  lol.....

Feb 3rd- Feb 5th weekend Read-A-Thon

I apologize in advance if I offend anyone.  I am a Reader and a Challenge Addict!!!  I am not a sports person.

There is all this noise about some big sports game on this weekend, everybody getting excited about grown men getting into a circle and whisper what they are going to do with a ball, they try, it doesn't happen, they go back in a circle, whisper again, and on and on.  You get the picture?

Well in my house, I am banned from the family room, that's where the TV is, and am not allowed to talk, because when I do add my opinion, my family just shake their heads and ignore me.  

Well...I'll show them.  I am having my own party, in my own room and they are not welcomed, but you are.  I saw this on Lori's blog, Escape With Dollycas Into a Good Book.  It's a Read-A-Thon

The hosts for the wickedly wonderful weekend of reading are
Rebecca From Kindle Fire
and
April of My Shelf Confessions.

Here are some of the details if you want to join THIS party!!!

Since we had such a blast during the Wonderfully Wicked Read-A-Thon; after receiving such amazing feedback as we did, we decided to listen to what seemed to be all of the #WWReaders wishes and host #WWReadathon Vol. 2 — Wicked Winter Read-A-Thon!

Whether you are an old WWReader or a new one, you are extremely welcome to sign up an join in on the fun. Information and the sign up linky will be found below and I’m available for further questions via rebgeo@hotmail.com.

The Wicked Winter Read-A-Thon is a time when we all get together to dedicate the weekend of February 3-5 to as much reading as possible. You read as much as you can in order to get yourself a little further through that huge to-read pile! We know real life gets in the way and even if you can’t participate more than one day, you’re welcome to join in on the fun!

In the meanwhile, we will be hosting book-related challenges where you can win some awesome prizes and have a Twitter party at the hashtag #WWReadathon! You can posts updates on your blog, Twitter, Goodreads or Facebook — as long as the profile is public and we all can enjoy your reading progress!For this edition, we’ve also planned a chat surprise in order to include those who aren’t on Twitter in some chatting fun. But exactly what will happen is a surprise for now. 

Hope to see you there!!!

WOWSERS!

We enjoy your company, as well.

Happy Tuesday!

Announcement

Waving....Waving......Waving..... 

Sorry but if I don't wave my co host, partner, cohort, friend, business partner, BOSS, will fire me!!!  OK..now that is done, where was I.....oh yes....an announcement....

We are here because we signed up for many, many challenges.  Well, before Bev gets to you to sign up for more, I want to tell you about a Read-A-Thon that starts tomorrow.

Hosted by Michelle from The True Book Addict

It runs from January 23rd to January 29th.  Click on the above and it will take you right to the sign up page. Perfect intervention to help make a dent in all those challenges you signed up for.  And if you already signed up, like I did, Good Luck!!!

So I will be in hiding all week, hoping that RL does not interfere and that my family can't find me lol (shhhh..don't tell them where I am) and will be trying to read.

BTW.....January is almost over, how is everyone doing?  Making any progress?

Until we talk again...........................
