This is the book that always prevents me from successfully completing my reread of the series.

I finished Between the World and Me - awesome as an audio! Had a bit over 30mins left & finished it straight away during the first hour

It's one of the harder ones. Both length wise and emotion wise.

Finished two short books: Calm: Thoughts and Quotations for Every Day and Up the Faraway Tree The rest of my novels I doubt I'll finish during the readathon.

Ended up starting and finishing two books:

Completed Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer and The Strangers by Margaret Peterson Haddix!

I finished about the last 80 pages of New Waves by Kevin Nguyen last night and read the entirety of Darling Rose Gold by Stephanie Wrobel last night/today. I finished with about 2 minutes left! I loved both of these books and I think Darling Rose Gold was my favorite thriller I've read in a very long time.

I read over two hundred pages of Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead, and finished it. I also read 53-54 pages of Outlander by Diana Gabaldon and listened to over 10% of Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor. I had so much fun and plan to join for the next one in October. Especially if I can pre-plan my schedule more ahead of time!

Watership Down was a slow read for me, plus I didn't read any graphic novels this time so my total pages is way less than usual. Also I was way less organised and spent way more time on social media. Had fun though!!
