Oh, that is miserable. 100 degrees, and then a fever on top of it. Where do you live that it is so hot? I'm up in Vermont, and tomorrow the weather promises to get cooler.

I'm glad you're feeling better. Fall colds going to sinus infections are no fun.

I finished Istanbul: Memories and the City and updated the chart :) Phew. I feel like reading is kind of a sport now! I love it.
I finished Ninefox Gambit and updated the spreadsheet.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Going from intergalactic battle back to Turkey!
Do we know when the countdown ends? I'm trying to pace my books today around other events, and puppy needs....
I can take ii for group 2
I am working on the other 2 simultaneously, but they are a bit beastly.

This event is called the Brooklyn Book Festival in NYC. Yes! There are many vendors for books - and all of the books are available for purchase. My bag was a bit heavy on the flight home...... I hadn't really heard of book festivals before I saw this one. I'll have to keep my eyes open for others.

I saw these authors: Nafissa Thompson-Spires, Angie Cruz, Courtney Maum, NK Jemisin, P.Djeli Clark, Namwali Serpell, Novuyo Rosa Tshuma, Marlon James, Ted Chiang (one of my favorite speakers, but I have not yet read his stories. Gotta do that...), Mark Doten, Jenny Han, Mary HK Choi, Laura Sebastian, and Joyce Carol Oates. I was excited as I used this reading challenge to read a few of these authors and then I got to see them - like a dream come true! I was an almost 50 year old fangirl. :) Have you been to a book festival before? This was my first event.
This is our last round, isn’t it? I’ve loved this challenge and this team! I am much more dedicated to reading these days because of both!
No worries. That book has been gathering dust for a long time. Time to crack it open!

For one panel, there was a line around an entire block to get in, and they had to turn people away. It was amazing!
