What are your goals for the readathon?

Hooray! I'm planning to start my personal readathon tomorrow because I'll be working on the first. I want to get as much of my reread of Dune done as possible, and possibly start on my reread of Insurgent because I want to read that one over next week.

Yahoo! A readathon! Unfortunately I will be vacationing with extended family which is really going to cut into my reading time... Am going really conservative and set a goal of finishing 2 TBD books.

I plan to read, "Tender in the Night" by William Krueger, and to reread, "Braiding SweetGrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. I am on vacation!

Happy 4th everyone! I’ve been in a big reading slump. I’m looking forward to getting at least one book read and getting some reviews posted.

So I read a lot of Insurgent today. I’ve decided my goal for the next four days is to read as much of Dune as possible.

My goals are:

I’d like to finish reading Death is Not Enough by Karen Rose. And I’d like to start and complete Say You're Sorry by Karen Rose.

Good luck to everyone!

May only finish one! Company here.

Bunker Hill: A City, a Siege, a Revolution by Nathaniel Philbrick, 8/2/2023

Happy Readathon! I've been swamped with work stuff and have been terrible about updating my reading progress. We moved to California in March and alas everything is new and everything is busy 🤣

My Kindle is full of books from the library but I'll probably ready one or more of these this weekend:




Mad Honey is my book club read for July and the other two fulfill a Popsugar category.

Oh wow California! From...North or South Carolina right? Or was it Georgia? lol. Quite the move! I really enjoyed Mad Honey! I own both but haven't read the other two yet.

I'm starting July with a NetGalley buddy read . I've enjoyed her and Greer Hendricks' novels but this is my first solo Pekkanen.

Now that today is done, I have no plans from here till Tuesday! I'm 41% through and I might start reading some graphic novels. I need to boost my Shrink the Shelf challenge on Instagram. lol. It's going to be a nice rainy day tomorrow (and 70°F) so very cozy for reading!!

So I ended up not getting as much of Dune done today. 😩 Might try focusing on other books for now instead.

I'm thinking the Dune Series is fascinating...but slow slogging.🤔
I am reading an absolutely absorbing SciFi, and it's only 513 pp.! [Fast-moving though!] These Burning Stars

Agreed that Dune is very slow but also interesting! I might someday continue it on audio as I've only read Dune.

Dune is a chonky beast. It’s odd reading it this time around because I read book 2 last year and I know some things now.

I finished last night and also read . I'm almost done reading and then I'll read .

I barely got 2 books read:

2. Summary of The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

I did get to complete a big chunk of Gone With the Wind.

I ended up reading and 110 pages of .

I ended up finishing Insurgent and made some progress in Dune.
