Debbie,

Way to go!

My progress so far:

I am currently reading Fat Cat At Large

Sorry I have not been able to read much of the book during the readathon.

I need to figure out how to do the hourly challenges and read my book at the same time.

Thank you!

Kathleen,
Thank you!

I have surprisingly not gotten a lot of reading done. Too busy posting stuff and reading other people's posts and taking quizzes, etc. I'm not complaining since I am having a blast and I think the goal of this was to bring awareness to cozies, which I think we are accomplishing in a big way!

Way to go everyone. I haven't read much today bcause I have been too busy with the activities here! I started Seams Like Murder today and hope to finish it tomorrow or Monday at the latest! I am having a blast too!

Catherine,

That's a great attitude. I feel better after you said the above so thank you! I admit I am having a blast too.

The quizzes challenged me and I have added more books to my TBR list.

Thank you!

That sounds like a fun book. I hope you will review it after you finish it.

You sound like me. I have barely read a chapter because I have company visiting, but I have managed to do a few challenges and they have enjoyed helping me a little. It's been fun so far.

Elizabeth,

I'll try! I need to finish the book before I can write a review. it takes me a while to write and edit my book reviews.

Brooke,
That's great you read 50 pages during the readathon. I am on the 6th page because I was too busy with the hourly challenges and quizzes. I was not sure how I can read a book and meet the challenges at the same time.

I'm currently reading Threaded for Trouble. I've read about 25% of the book. Between packing for a trip and participating in the readathon check-ins, I'm probably reading less than I otherwise would.

I'm really enjoying the check-ins. Kudos on the creativity mods!

I know what you mean, Kristi. I had big plans of finishing a few books and haven't even finished one. But the ones I'm reading are very good. I just keep getting distracted!

72% is a lot better than I'm doing!

Nancy,

Yes, you can do it! We are cheering you on!

You can do it!!!

Nancy, you CAN make it to the end! Keep reading.

Diana, you can do this too! We still have several hours left to read.

Jackie,

Thanks! Now back to the first book and reading until the next hourly challenge.

Congratulations everyone! Hopefully this will save our cozy mysteries! I am glad I have the day to read and everyone in the house is busy! I did have to take a break to help my daughter with a flat tire but I am ready to read again!

Yay! Finished first chapter of first book. That's progress!

Just under the wire I have finished The Skeleton in the Family by Leigh Perry and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was significantly different from most of the cozies I have read, in that the writer incorporated significant details of popular culture. Now from my perspective that is a dangerous thing to do if you want your book to have a long shelf life. There is nothing so ephemeral as slang, toys, games and such that change so quickly and pass leaving the book high and dry to new readers. However, in the meantime while it is all fresh in real life the story was a gem and filled with puns. I cannot wait to start the next one. It took longer to read because I kept interrupting it for challenges and real life things but it was so engrossing that it was easy to hurry back and pick up where I left off. Sid is a treasure.

Way to go, Karen Leigh!

I haven't had much time to read, but way to go everyone that has kicked butt on reading.
