Next weekend is the 24 Hour Read-a-thon. It is not too late to sign up! So far there are over 300 of us signed up to read! This week's weekly geeks is related to the read-a-thon. I am planning on participating. As for what I'm reading--I hope to get MANY things read. I'd love to read some MG/YA fiction. And it would be great to read a graphic novel or two. And, of course, I'd LOVE to read more short stories from the Stories of Ray Bradbury!
