Charlotte’s comments from the The Under-Hyped Readathon! group.

I finished Dietland by Sarai Walker, Bread & Butter #1 by Liz Mayorga, Zed Volume 1 by Michael Gagne, Animal by Sara Pascoe so far! I'm currently reading I Am China by Xiaolu Guo :)

Glad everyone's taking part! I'm reading Dietland by Sarai Walker. Not sure what I think so far but I'm aiming to finish the whole thing today!

The next round is starting at midnight in your time zone on Saturday 3rd September and ending midnight at the end of 9th September!

Let me know if you're taking part!

Considering just putting it on hold, and pick up the next book instead...."

Reading is something you should enjoy so I would say to not waste your time on books you're not enjoying =)

Talk about the books you've read so far in the readathon here!

I'll definitely be joining in as I love talking about under hyped books on Booktube :)"

It's 27th February to 4th March!

What will you be reading?

I've picked out a few books; The Actuator: Fractured Earth, Time Ships and Flatland. These are all books that I've never heard anyone talk about but I also have others on my shelf that I may swap in instead as I realised all of my choices are science-fiction!

I haven't officially announced it yet but is most likely going to be the last week of February. I'll be sending a message around soon!

The Wandering Earth by Liu Cixin (388 ratings)

Glad you're taking part! How are you enjoying your reads?

How's everyone getting on with their reads?

I've nearly finished by John Varley and it's really good so far!

Good luck with Lonesome Dove! It's one that I may tackle eventually. The Brief History of Seven Killings sounds really good though I'm a little wary of the Man Booker books now after The Chimes...

Good luck with whatever you choose! Readathon's usually help me if I'm in a reading slump =)

The #UnderHypedReads readathon is back and I really looking forward to it!

This runs from 21st to 27th of September and the idea is the same as the last times; read books that you could deem underhyped!

Hi! I've been so bad at this readathon because of university and work commitments this week but I still had loads of fun!

I managed to finish two from my TBR (though I did read one the day before the readathon started...)

How did everyone else get on?

I've just finished Cowgirl by G. Gemin and I really enjoyed it actually. It had great messages for children and I loved the themes discussed.

I started Cowgirl by G. Gemin and it's okay so far. The colloquial speech is a little off putting at times but it's a quick read.

How're you getting on with your TBR/chosen books so far? =)

I read Girl With a White Dog by Anne Booth on Sunday in one sitting before the readathon started because I've got loads of university reading to do but I'm hoping to get to at least one more from my TBR once I've finished Jane Eyre for university (definitely not an underhyped book!)

We just have the hashtag #UnderHypedReads

This will be my first readathon so i'm reeeaaaally excited!! Is there a video or a post that has more information or like guidelines about this readathon?"

I made a TBR with a bit more information in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMsAo...

Last time we went with under 10,000 ratings but it's up to you and what you have available to you on your shelves. Personally all of mine are under 1000 ratings =)
