July 30th Read-A-Thon Goals

@books-and-cookies Read-A-Thon Day! (Learn More)

I’m not sure I have a firm goal here. It would be cool to finish a whole book, but as long as I get a full day of reading in I’m satisfied!

I’ll be starting with Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen since I am a chapter into it already.
If I get in the mood for something more modern I’ve got many others from the library I have been neglecting… *cough* Crashed *cough

(I’d also like to say that if any of you read-a-thon participants have Goodreads and would like to add me, please feel free! I’m “darkestwings” over there. I’m on mobile right now or I would add a link.)

Edit: Goodreads Link!

Currently Reading: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

I think one of my favorite things in the novel that gets missed out in the screen adaptations is how Mr. Bennet thought to himself, “Wow, this Collins kid seems like a canoe full of douches, better invite him to stay with my family ASAP!” and then spends the whole time either wishing Collins would shut up or entertaining himself with Collins’ douchebaggery and everyone else’s suffering of it.
