My Goals:

I'm actually typing this up WEEKS ahead of time and I'll be getting home around July 8th (today!) from a two and a half week vacation {Update: I'm home but my parents are visiting so I won't be reading much until Tuesday. I also have a migraine, so I won't be reading OR online until this sucker is GONE}.  So I'm not sure how good I'll do with the read-a-thon, but it's all about having FUN, so I'll pick a few books that I've wanted to read for ages and just hope I can get at least two of them read!
Here are some I have on my shelf and would like to read, but we'll see what kind of mood I'm in, it's hard to predict...
