24 in 48 Readathon

I've decided to join my first 24 in 48 Readathon! The 'thon challenges people to read for twenty-four out of this weekend's forty-eight hours, but it's totally low pressure. You read as much as you can in the hopes of maybe, possibly logging something close to twenty-four hours of reading time.

This is sort of like what I do with my Sundays anyways, so I figured I might as well join formally!

I'll be sampling and dipping into a variety of things over the next couple of days, including:

• BOOKBURNERS and WHITEHALL, the two serials to which I've give my heart. I hope to read at least one episode of each.
• YOU DON'T SAY: GREAT NEW ZEALAND NONFICTION 2016. I've been poking at this anthology for about a week and want to wallow in it for a little while.
• HALF-BLOOD BLUES by Esi Edugyan, for the Booker Short List square on my bookish bingo card.
• WINTER ORANGES by Marie Sexton, for the Seasonal square on the abovementioned card.
• THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE by Neil Gaiman, for the Shortest TBR Book square.
• RISE by Mira Grant. I won't read the whole thing, but I'd love to get through a story or two.
• MONSTRESS VOLUME ONE by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takada. I've been lusting after this comic for aaaaaages.
• THE BATMANGA by Jiro Kuwata. I've got the first three volumes ready and waiting for my eyeballs.
• YES, CHEF by Marcus Samuelsson, for those times when my eyeballs need a break.
• UNCANNY X-MEN. Ten issues or bust, y'all.

I'll update this post every now and again with my progress and/or any mini challenges I attempt.
