We will be having the readathon from today, Tuesday, Nov 26-Sunday, Dec 1!

What are your goals for the readathon?

It starts now?! How long do Americans celebrate Thanksgiving?? XD I'm in! I've been making some headway catching up on my overall reading goal by reading short books, while making progress on my various long books. I'm definitely in a buckle down and read kind of mood!

I desperately need to make progress on and

Happy Thanksgiving!! I just sat down for a second, waiting for the family to land after cooking and cleaning all morning. I have to work tomorrow but I would like to finish two books this weekend and get the recent books I’ve read logged.

Read Our Italian Summer
Read Malibu Summer
Log 6 completed books

Hoping to get through this before the first.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

I finished and I also . Haven't read much of . Yesterday was my family, today it's the in-laws and they're sleeping over. Glad to leave Bastien downstairs with them and read upstairs. lol

Friday was a busy day at work so I didn’t even listen to a book while working. Today I had a nice day listening to Our Italian Summer on audio while wrapping Christmas gifts. I also ordered about 10 more gifts. We have so many plans coming up that I feel like it will be a race to the end of the year.

Just did an update and I've got 12 books to go, I think I can make!

Read Our Italian Summer - done
Read Malibu Summer - read a different book
Log 6 completed books - done
The Breakaway - 77% doen

I did better than I thought I would:

1. The Woggle-Bug Book by Baum, L. Frank
2. Selected Shorts: Whodunit? by Symphony Space
3. Selected Shorts: Poe! by Space, Symphony
4. Provence - To Die For (Murder, She Wrote, #17) by Fletcher, Jessica
5. Selected Shorts: Pets! by Syphony Space
6. At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities by Webber, Heather
7. The Gifts of Poseidon: The Mysteries of the Greek by Zouroudi, Anne
8. Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves (Bass Reeves Trilogy #1) by Thompson, Sidney

I didn't read as much as I intended, but I did get a few good bursts of reading in! I made progress on all five of my currently reading books that I wanted to make progress on. I came very close to finishing Under Blood Lake. I'm in the final 5 hours of ACOTAR so I should finish that in the next few days. The others I just made a little progress on.



I only read two of the other books I wanted to read.

I finished Mexican Gothic!

Whew busy holiday weekend! I finished on Saturday and started on Sunday.
