24 Hour Read-a-Thon is here!! My plans.....


Hello Friends!

Can you believe it's that time again? Time for Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon!! I have decided once again to do a movie watch-a-thon instead of reading. It really worked well for me last time and I have a list of movies (based on books that I've read or want to read) to watch on Saturday.

Here is the list of the movies that I will be viewing:

  • Water for Elephants - read the book and loved it. Wondering what I will think of the movie version???
  • Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close- thought the book was amazing. Hope the movie is too!
  • Let Me In- I have the book and want to read it. Will watch this one while it's light out!!
  • The Lincoln Lawyer- want to read the book and Matthew is easy on the eyes!
  • The Shunning- Amish fiction by Beverly Lewis. I loved the book!
  • Miss Marple- haven't met her yet in my Agatha Christie journey but think the shows would be a fun way to get acquainted!
  • The Tale of Despereaux- I LOVED this book and think the animated movie looks adorable.
I hope everyone who participates has a great time !!

Read on!

  6. Oh--what a bunch of great looking movies--Maybe I should consider a movie-a-thon in the future, then I could knit all day too! :) Have fun--My son and I are getting our book stacks ready and later today I will be off to the grocery store to get our goodies. Have a super day!

  7. Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close was a great movie, I loved it. I'll have to read the book now that I see it in your list. Enjoy your movie-thon.

  8. I'll be interested in what you think of Water for Elephants.
    I don't have my pile of books picked out for tomorrow. I don't think I will this time. Just see what I'm in the mood for.

  10. Have a great day enjoying the movies! I was going to participate, but my daughter got the day off so we will hang out together. I will cheer early in the morning and then again in the evening.
