Okay, so the 24 hour Read-A-Thon is this Saturday, starting at 7 AM. (Yuck! Mornings >.<) My goal is to read for the full 24 hours, I will be posting updates here and on my Twitter. Feel free to follow me over there - just a heads up though, I don't only post about books there and I may use some words that are not friendly.

So far for my book list I've got:

Perfect You by Elizabeht Scott
Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott
The Good Ghouls Guide to Getting Even by Julie Kenner
Fancy White Trash by Marjetta Geerling
13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson
Girl at Sea by Maureen Johnson
You are so Undead to Me by Stacey Jay
The Boyfriend Game by Stephie Davis
Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev
Wurst Case Scenario by Catherine Clark

My only issue with my book list is that they are all YA books, not that there is anything wrong with that. But I'm looking for a variety of books. I need more! Those books are not going to last me a full 24 hours. I'm betting that they'll only last me maybe 5 at the most.

So if you have any suggestions, please PLEASE leave me a comment here, and give them to me. I need to make sure I've got all my books ready to go by Friday night, since I'm heading over to Drea's house early Saturday morning.

Thanks in advance, and keep reading!

   Jess, how about The White Tiger, which won the Booker award this year? It's a pretty quick read about a changing India, and is both funny and deadly serious.
   p.s. Welcome to Book Blogs; hope you enjoy the network.

   @ Dave - Thanks for the welcome :) So far I'm loving it. I'll check out The White Tiger and see if it grabs my attention. :D

   I love your list. . . I've read four of those titles, so far. Have you read Gone by Michael Grant, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart, Impossible by Nancy Werlin, and Unwind by Neal Shusterman?
   
   If not, please do. Also, if you want a "adult" historical fiction type book (and you like books written in diary format), I recommend These is My Words by Nancy Turner.
