So there's a readathon next week! For more information about the creator etc. click here. My tbr might change a little bit, but yea. These are the challenges and the books that I've chosen:

1. First Book in a series: Just One Day by Gayle Forman: the only first book in a series that I own, ha. (well that was a lie I also have A Court of Thornes and Roses, but hey).
2. Sequel Book in a series: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: besides The Mortal Instruments I don't have any sequels (only oif you count The Davinci Code as a sequel) and I wanted to re-read one of those books anyways.
3. Out of your comfort zone (genre, author, reviews, etc): The Changeling by Philippa Gregory. It's an historical fiction novel and I have it for way too long, but I just didn't want to read it because it's historical fiction..
4. On your shelf over a year (or the longest): The Scarlet Letter by Nathanial Hawthorne. I do have books that I have longer than this one, but those are really hard classics to read for a readathon, so yea.
5. Most recently hauled book: Crossing Into Brooklyn by Mary Ann McGuigan.  I got this book at this point as the latest book in the mail, so I think I'm going to read that one (I got it for free in return for an honest review)

Are you going to participate and if so: what's on your tbr?

Illustration o'clock: Tanglewood Tales (by Nathaniel Hawthorne) 1921, illustrated by Virginia Frances Sterrett. Virginia illustrated only 3 titles for Penn Publishing Company, the third being Arabian Nights (which took her 3 yrs to complete), due to succumbing to tuberculosis.

And check out the 50watts gallery. Her abilities astonish, and her vision rather makes my heart hurt. Look at the page with the bushes made of bubbles.
