Sorry I was late with the starting line post! Brain spasm! lol

Enjoy the reading!

We have our 24-Hour readathon on Feb 22, but also I'm going to be having a mini-readathon during the Super Bowl. Not watching this year because I'm a Lions fan, and also because I'm sick of seeing Kansas City in it every year. I said it.

Right now I'm reading:
Lake of Sorrows (Nora Gavin, #2) by Erin Hart I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou (this is our February Black History Month selection for my reading group, True Book Talk.)
Working on Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset for my 1000 Books Project
Next up will be Camp Zero by Michelle Min Sterling or The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz


Join the Penguin Resistance!   (readingreindeerproximacentauri) | 170 comments Not watching because Lions AND Bills fan, AND because I despise the current incarnation of Chiefs culture: the late, lamented Len Dawson is surely spinning in his grave.

This is the second time I'm hearing about this 24 in 48 readathon! Who is hosting?

I got a late start. First, I'm finishing The Dover Demon by Hunter Shea and I also need to read 200 pages of Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset for a read-along.

It's a branch off of the original 24-in-48 from Instagram. They stopped during BLM to give more focus to Black readathons (which I never found any) and then they didn't start it again so someone picked it up to do it a couple times a year on Goodreads, possibly moving to Discord next year. https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...
