!Currently reading:
12/3: I'm rereading Lick because I read it way too fast the first time around. I read 50% (150 pages) in one sitting. The first time, I read this book in one sitting! So, my plan is working. I also read 10% (about 45 pages) of Big Little Lies. I'm currently 45% into it.
12/4: I've read about 75 pages of Lick. I'm currently 75% into it. I've also read 15% (about 69 pages) of Big Little Lies. I'm currently 60% into it. It was a slower reading day for me, but I'm hoping to finish both books tomorrow!
12/5: I didn't do a whole lot of reading, but I did do a lot of writing! So... win! Still, I finished reading Lick. I also read the first 10% (about 40 pages) of The Forgetting.
12/6: I read 20% (or 80 pages) more of The Forgetting. I'm 30% into it.
12/7: 0 pages. Yesterday was a long, long day for me. I did see Arrival, which I can't recommend enough. Everyone needs to see this movie!
12/8: I read 20% (about 80 pages) of The Forgetting. I'm halfway through it! I'm loving it! I'll probably speed through this on Sunday!
12/9: I read 15% ( about 69 pages) of Big Little Lies. I'm 75% into it!
12/10: I finished Big Little Lies.

I'm not going to get much reading done in these first two days because yesterday I had a long day at work and today I have to go to my office Christmas party. But it's a good thing that Obsidian Butterfly is easy to read so I'll get some pages read.

I tried reading If on a Winter's Night a Traveler, but barely into I was so confused and didn't like the book, so I tossed it in the box of books to take to the library. Now I am reading Black Ice

Finished Toward the Sea of Freedom last night. It was a good book if not a little drawn out and I probably won't put it in the reread pile!

I have 1 book I've been reading when I take bubble baths. I actually like it a lot and it's a struggle to not read it. But it's coming to the end of the year and I don't like to carry over. So if The Little Paris Bookshop shows up on this challenge it's cause I couldn;t stand it anymore! LOL

I was thinking of doing a couple Narnia books myself for next weeks challenge. Since they are short, you can read more and quicker.

I read that one, lots of feels!
Interested to know, are you guys actually reading instead of listening and are you reading on a device or an actual book? Also how much time are you devoting to the readathon versus what you would normally read in that given amount of time? Jenny
I'm reading on a Kindle, and I am reading normally. I am not pushing it.
I'm reading, because I'm terrible at listening audio books and I can't read books without an actual book. I've been working a lot, but I've made some extra effort to read more in the morning.
I'm reading an actual book. I've had a busy week so have not been able to push it.
