Today is the day!
You may recall that last month I mention I would be hosting a New Adult readathon with Faye @ A Daydreamers thoughts. Well today is the first day and we would love for you to get involved. Whether you are already an NA fan or not, this will be so much fun. We have daily challenges that give you the opportunity to win ebooks, a twitter chat on Saturday at 7pm GMT and a HUGE giveaway at the end. Sign-ups will be open all week, so feel free to start participating whenever you want!My Goals!
My aim is to read a total of 7 books but hopefully I will read even more. Here is a list of the books I will be choosing from. I am starting with Elsker but after that I am not sure what I should read and in what order. I have a mixture of all different genres on this list as I like variety whilst I read. Too many NA contemporary romances in one go and my head may explode :P I also want to visit all the blogs involved and do at least three of the challenges.
Elsker (The Elsker Saga) by ST Bende
- Read 22/07No Reverse by Marion Croslydon - Read 23/07
King Hall by Scarlett Dawn
The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon
Lick: Stage Dive 1 by Kylie Scott

My first book for the readathan is The Edge of Never by JA Redmeski. I hope it's okay that I read the first few pages of the book yesterday. I didn't know about the readathan until today. Love NA!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of King Hall by Scarlett Dawn. Wouldn't mind reading a review of it. :)
ReplyDeleteI started reading More Than This today. My kids are around, so it will be difficult to read a lot of books this week, but I'll try my best. :)
ReplyDeleteThinking of adding KING HALL to the end of my list. Wouldn't mind a review to sway my decision. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely read Faking It first! Maybe even better than Losing It, imo :-)
ReplyDeleteI've had my eye on State of Emergency because it looks so different.
ReplyDeleteMy blog post is in portuguese. Is ok?
ReplyDeleteI will read Hopeless and Elite. The rest we’ll see.
Predictably, I have not read a single book on your TBR pile so I have no suggestions for you but good luck on getting through all your goals! xx
ReplyDeleteShattered Promises is on my list of potential reads too! :) I've never read anything by that author so I hope I get round to it. Seven is an impressive goal - good luck! :D and thanks so much for hosting the readathon. I'm so exciyed about it!
ReplyDeleteWow. I have only even heard of one of the books on yout tbr list. and it is still on mine as well. This sounds like fun although I am going to have to change when I get online as I keep missing deadlines. I am on California time.
ReplyDeleteConsider reading THE SIREN'S TALE, for a different slant on sirens, geared to NA issues. It's on Goodreads, Amazon, B&N.
ReplyDeleteIs it terrible to say I would really love to read them all? Oh to have a pile of great NA novels at one's disposal!!
