How Much Can You Read in 3 Days?

So I decided to take part in this years Once Upon a Read-a-thon. When I read that it is basically a cram all you can read in three days time I thought, Oh yeah sign me up! Usually I read one book in 3 days but decided to go for a book a day totaling out at 3 books for the Read-a-thon.

This Read-a-thon is hosted by Pure Imagination, Candace's Book Blog, and Reading Angel. It runs from 12:01 AM on July 11 to 11:59 PM on July 13th.


The books that I am going to read are...




Endless Night by Maureen A. Miller










The Darkest Kiss (Lords of the Underworld #2) by Gena Showalter








Beg For Mercy by Jami Alden







Day #1


Mini Challenge Question 1:
What is your favorite type of myth (Greek, Roman, Egyptian etc)?
I would have to go with Greek. I have always been intrigued by Greek mythology.

Mini Challenge Question 2:
What is your favorite book with some type of mythology in it?
I really liked Divine by Mistake by P.C. Cast. It was the first book that I had read that had a heavy hand in mythology and ever since then I have been hooked.
