I have never participated in a Read-a-thon before. I've always had the desire to, however, I have never felt up to it. Yet, this year I will be participating in the Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon! This Saturday, from 1pm to 1pm Sunday, I will attempt to read as much as I can.
I've been advised that it's best to target shorter, faster paced books in order to get further; Therefore, I have chosen the following book for my first ever Read-a-thon experience:
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky: This book has been sat on my TBR shelf for nearly two years, which should be a crime considering how much I adored the movie.

Charlie is "Shy, Introspective, Intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward" and the story follows him as he attempts to fit in and find friends. If you have not seen the movie, go check it out! It's such an emotional journey (excuse the clichéd description). This book is roughly 230 page, which is a bit long for a petite book, however I'll definitely be able to read a decent chunk of it during the 24 hours. …show more content…
The Forgotten Ones is a novella which was released between The Power of Six and The Rise of Nine from the main series. I chose this one as, one, it is only 144 pages and two, It follows one of my favorite characters in the series, Adam. Unfortunately, I have been in a slump with the Lorien Legacies novellas lately, as I have found a considerably amount of inconsistencies when compared to the central novels and within the novellas themselves. Little bits of information altar, and clearly show that no one is checking these novellas before publication (However, that is a rant for another day). I'm having to power through this fact and breathe. The author is only
