My goals for this readathon will be simply to read as much as I can and hopefully stay up to date or get ahead of books that I need to review. Check back here for updates:
Artful Covers- Here is some wonderful artwork of Eliza Hamilton and her sister Angelica by Ron Chan for My Dear Hamilton.
Tell Me a Story- Two of my favorite Short Story collections!
Trigger Warning and My View from the Cheap Seats
Anthology of Interest- I would love to read an anthology about the thoughts of animals going about their daily lives and their interactions with humans.
Bookmark Thoughts:
I am a bookmark user. Sometimes it is an actual nice bookmark, sometimes it's a ribbon, sometimes a scrap of paper, but always, always, always use a bookmark.

Page Pen Pals!
Right now I'm stuck in the age of Alexander Hamilton, so I would have to say Eliza Hamilton or her sister Angelica. I would love to know exactly what they thought about everything they had the chance to witness throughout their lives.
