Read-A-Thon Starting Post: Why else would I be up this early on a Saturday??

It's a good thing that this is not a vlog, because it would not be pretty. Probably there would be people taking up pitchforks to chase after me and stuff. As I write this, I'm going for the "Why yes I WAS electrocuted as I slept last night" look. And that's just my hair.

Anyway, once I get my eyes fully open, I'll be getting started... I decided to start with the shortest, and arguably the easiest book of the stack for my hobble off the starting blocks. I think my leg's asleep.

I'm starting with "The Ordinary Princess" by M.M. Kaye. After that, I was thinking the Zan-Gah books... We'll see about that after coffee... maybe.

    I was looking quite Bride of Frankenstein-ish when I woke up.

    Maybe next time I should host a mini-challenge for people to post pictures of their bedhead. :-D

    I am loving that picture. HA.

    So, M.M. Kaye is awesome and I'm a big nerdy fan of hers, but all the books I own by her are BAH-RI-CSAH. (like how I emphasized that one? Much thought went into that.)

    Anyway...hope you like it.

    Good luck and happy reading! :D

    I'm definitely not all that awake yet, either, even though I've been "up" and reading for almost 4 hours at this point.

    Don't worry about your bedhead - nobody cares! :-)

    Wow, I love to hear how you're getting started! This will be great! Keep it up! Here's something to keep you going:

    Let books be your dining table,
    And you shall be full of delights
    Let them be your mattress
    And you shall sleep restful nights.
