COVID-19 Read-A-Thon discussion

Hi everyone!
What would you say if we do updates every 2 days instead of everyday? I don't think everybody is eager to comment everyday. Tell me how you feel in the comment!

So how are your goals? I'm in such a slump, I have not felt like reading at all :(

Yes I like the every two days much better, I have arthritis in my back and its pretty painful whenever it rains outside and sadly its been raining all week so im pretty sluggish and don't feel like doing much. Ive been trying to listen to an audio book for the first time while following along with the book I'm kind of liking it. It's a nice break.

I've read everyday this week and almost every day last week. My goal of reading 100 books this year is going good. I have already read 60 books this year.

Originally my goal was 12 books because I was very busy with school, work, and sports but now I bumped it up to about 18 but I think I might bump it up again to 20-25

That's awesome! Keep up the good work! What do you like reading?

I've been trying out some new genres but my favorite is definitely fantasy. How do you get so much reading done? I'm so jealous.

I have a lot of free time. I don't work and I don't have kids. I can't really go anywhere because of the coronavirus. Have you read the Shatter Me series? I've heard its good. Do you like Stephen King?

I havent read it actually, my friends say it is really good though. And I actually haven't read any Stephen King books, definitely on my list. I mostly read high fantasy series.

I vote that we use this as a pressure-free, open forum. We post when we want to check in with each other. Either book or not book related!

If more guidance is preferred, then maybe D and I can alternate weeks.

XXOO

How are you doing? What are you currently reading?

I read a chapter of Harry Potter every day (and my Bible 😉), but my main read is A Game of Thrones. I want to finish by Wednesday, to get back into All the Light We Cannot See, to finish by Sunday.

HIIIIII GOOD MODERATING

He convinced me to start The Shack back in 2014, but I chickened out and DNFd it. I am willing to resume, though.

Yes, it stars Octavia Spencer who is in the movie The Help which was a book first as well.
