with 3 comments
Omg, I am frantically typing this as I didn't even know it was the readathon today!!!! EEEEPPP! Anyway, good thing for me because it's only been two hours. I did this last year and it was SO much fun but omg omg omg... WHAT DO I WRITE?! I need to start reading and gahhhhhh! Now, I will attempt to stay calm while answering a few questions.

OMG I'm just starting and a bit less freaked out. But I also have to clean my room today. There is a part of me that's just holding out until that moment. I will eventually have to take a break and that'll suck. ACK! But Origin is AMAZING! It's soooo good and like I just can't...

Introduction Meme

What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
I'm reading from CANADA! YAYYYYYYY!

Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
Well, in September, I got this HUGE bag of books with like over 30 books... I'll be tackling that!

Included in that list is:
The Infinite Moment of Us - Lauren Myracle
Where the Stars Still Shine - Trish Doller
The Raven Boys - Maggie Stiefvater
Full Ride - Margaret Peterson Haddix
The Compound - SA Bodeen

I've also got some review books that I might need to read.

Which snack are you most looking forward to?
Those little finger sandwiches! OMG so good!

Tell us a little something about yourself!
I'm freaking out right now because I didn't even know today was the read-a-thon. Thank the random person who posted something on twitter. ACK.

If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to?
Last year, I did a lot of updating and I hope to not do it this year. I'll be doing hourly updates but not to the point of insanity like last year.
Dewey's Mini-Challenge - Hour 2: Book Tunes

Dewey's Mini-Challenge Hour 2 - Book Tunes

I'm currently reading/finishing up Bad Girls Don't Die. This is a creepy story about a girl who gets possessed by dolls. My "song"? Valley of the Dolls by Marina and the Diamonds. It's kind of the perfect song for this.

Valley of the Dolls talks about a girl who's feeling empty and trying to fit in by acting like a different person. And at the end of it, she's got to suffer. It's like she's been "awakened" when she's acting like the different people but when she's just being herself, she's "asleep". This is just like Bad Girls Don't Die because the evil doll spirit takes over the mind of whoever has her (she acts like a different person) and also when she's being herself, she can't do anything, ergo, she's sleeping.
