My Intentions:
- Finish reading Shift by Jeri Smith-Ready
- Read at least one review book
- Read at least one e-book (sometimes I forget I have them)
- Finish the last 60 pages of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (it will happen)
- Host a Challenge and Giveaway on Thursday (hint: get your camera ready)
How Much Time I Will Read:
I hope to read during my lunch breaks and a couple of hours each evening. I've just returned to the gym so I won't alter that part of my routine. Plus I think it will help motivate me to make it through my exercise class if I know I have a great book waiting for me at home.
Updates:
I will update daily on Twitter and have a mid-point post and finish post on the blog.

Ultimately my motivation for the read-a-thon is to have a good time, cheer on other bloggers/readers, and maybe move a few books from the TBR pile to the read pile.
