I will be posting daily updates. Tomorrow's post will be my status from today and then as follows each day. You are welcome to come link up (in comments) your daily updates to each of my posts every day, every couple of days, or just wait until the end and post a wrap-up post (which is required, the other post that is required is a sign-up post).

The Christmas Cowboy (Rodeo Romance, #1) Leaving Liberty The Strength of Ballerinas Tide to Atonement (Pawleys Island Paradise, #2)
The Better Man (Chicago Sisters) Sleeping Beauty and the Beast Salt & Storm Remember Me (Find Me, #2)

If I get all these read then I'll start pulling from my list for September is for Sequels.

    do you have to have a blog to sign up? I don't have one.

  10. Definitely not. You just need somewhere to post that your signing up and updates, or at least a wrap-up post saying how you did. You can use FB, Twitter, Goodreads, Tumblr, Instagram... Let me know if you have more questions.

  13. I've really got so many books to read, Lisa. It's crazy! :) I'm hoping to read at least one a day, but it would be a miracle if I did.

  15. One day I am going to be able to read as many books a week as you do! You are my hero ;)

  16. Well, it does help that I have to. I think I was insane when I scheduled next week. I have five tour stops, one review scheduled for an author, and am also launching a tour with Prism (besides the read-a-thon). Sometimes I wonder what I was thinking?? I'm happily ahead in my posts, so I'll be just fine, but that's still crazy!

  17. Thanks, Laura! I'll be reading Rewind To You next week and I'm looking forward to it!
