I can't believe that it's almost time for the Read A Thon again!! I'm a little unprepared snack wise this time around, but otherwise I'm looking forward to it. I've learned not to take it to heart when some readers have read 10 books and I'm still working on book one. I have a baby shower to go to Saturday afternoon, so I'm sure that will cut my reading time down. However, I've learned the best part about the read-a-thon isn't the actual reading, it's doing the mini challenges and connecting with other bloggers. I know there is no way I'm going to get through all of these and I know I probably won't feel like reading any of these genres, but here's what I'm going to attempt to read tomorrow:

She doesn’t want romance to complicate her life, but Mandy’s monthly role-playing dates with her stranger on a train—each to a different time period—become the erotic escape she desperately needs. And a soul connection she never expected. Yet when she tries to draw her lover out of the shadows, Mandy has a fight on her hands…to convince him there’s a place for their fantasy love in the light of day.
