Elyse (winesaboutbooks) | 3001 comments As always, I'm posting on the Goodreads group (Personal Readathon Logs) and Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/winesaboutb...

Sprints are always Hour 1 (8am), 4 (11am), 8 (3pm), 12 (7pm), 16 (11pm), 20 (3am), and 24 (7am).

Elyse (winesaboutbooks) | 3001 comments Finish The Pumpkin Spice Café (Dream Harbor, #1) by Laurie Gilmore (e-book) (66% through)
Bone White by Ronald Malfi (audio/e-book)
The God of the Woods by Liz Moore (hardcover/audio)
Mirror, Mirror (Creepers, #10) by Edgar J. Hyde (paperback)

A Stephen King shorty, maybe a re-read, will update when I go upstairs to my library and pick one out lol. I HAVE to include a King during Kingtober Dewey's! Especially when all I've read for Kingtober is Fairy Tale! But it was a biggun. EDIT: I've gone with a re-read of Elevation by Stephen King.
