24-Hour Readathon- A Late Entry

I just heard about the 24 Hour Read-a-Thon yesterday and decided to participate late last night. My stash? I'm reading four books right now:
  • The Cat's Table, by Michael Ondaatje (almost done),
  • Everything Happens Today, by Jesse Browner (3/4 done),
  • Nightmare Alley, by William Lindsay Gresham (2/3 done), and
  • Growing Up, by Angela Thirkell (1/3 done).
So I'm going to work on these books and if I finish something, I'll grab something short out my TBR pile. I'm going to start around 9 am this morning and then I'll just keep going.

I'll check in every now and then with my fellow participants and cheer them on. You do the same if you can- this is a great community event in the book blogosphere! I'll see you back here later.

    I thought about just reading books I've started and not finished, but then decided those books were probably at little boring if I put them aside so I better pick something exciting. I hope your books are excellent :)

    Good luck Marie. I'm curious what your thoughts will be on The Cat's Table.
