Dewey's 24-Hour Read-a-Thon 2013

I owe at least 2 entries, one on the musical "Sa Wakas" and another on Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose", but they will have to wait because...

Today is Dewey's 24-Hour Read-a-Thon!

I first participated in the read-a-thon 2 years ago with my fellow Flippers, which was held at Libreria Bookstore. I finished 2 books, "Death by Garrotte: Looking Back 3" by Ambeth R. Ocampo and "Johnny and the Dead" by Terry Pratchett, but still haven't gotten around to finishing "Red Land, Black Land: Daily Life in Ancient Egypt" by Barbara Mertz. :P

This year I decided to participate again mainly to chip away Mount TBR. My list includes (in no particular order, and may change throughout the day) -

1. "Soulless: The Manga, Volume 2" by Gail Carriger and REM - easy reading
   
2. "George's Secret Key to the Universe" by Lucy & Stephen Hawking - thinking of donating this to a children's library but must read first
   
3. "Dodger" by Terry Pratchett - comfort reading, because Pratchett never fails to be funny
   
4. "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque - need to read this before month's end for the April Group Discussion on The Historical Fiction Group at Shelfari

No pressures though, which means I will still sleep and eat and do other things because it's a Sunday. :)
