Wicked Wildfire Read-A-Thon – Overview
It’s time for the 5th Edition of the Wicked Wildfire Read-A-Thon, hosted by April and Pabkins at My Shelf Confessions, who also hosted the Wicked Valentine’s Read-A-Thon back in February! This event runs from June 7th through June 14, 2013!
The purpose of this event is to get as much reading done as possible while having a little fun on the side! You can participate as much or as little as you like. There are Twitter parties for the socially inclined – book-related challenges for those in need of distraction – and prizes for those who like incentives!

Glad you’re joining us! Good luck with your goals! I find having a review schedule is a must. I have a spreadsheet that probably saves my butt on a weekly basis 😀

So what book are you starting off with?
Twitter: CreateWithJoy1
says:
Come Back Dear Sun – a delightful children’s book by Geena Bean and a nice way to ease into the read-a-thon!
As always, I have quite an eclectic collection covering my desk!
I think I am going to start out my read-a-thon with some light reads – I’ve been under the weather all week and just feel like kicking back today.
But – I also started an awesome book called The Possibility Dogs by Susanna Charleson that is already turning out to be quite a moving read!
