I have a few library books I need to get to this week:

Another challenge I'm doing also has a book with plant on cover and I can't figure out what I want to read for that. I have Peony in Love on my bookshelf but I don't know if I'm in the mood for it.
Have fun this week and I'll update every couple of days.

Didn't get as much reading in as I thought I would on Friday and Saturday.
Since my earlier post with 540 pages, I finished Hunting Annabelle 159 pgs, and started Strange Weather 168 pgs, for a week's total of 867 pgs.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend, see you all at the next readathon! :)

My update from Sunday to this evening:
Started and finished The Mars Room 336 pgs
Made some progress on Natchez Burning 78 pgs
Started Hunting Annabelle 126 pgs

540 pgs so far. I know the next couple of days will be busy, but it looks like Friday is shaping up to be a "read all day" kind of day!! :)

I'm in!! :)
I want to finish Crazy Rich Asians and make some progress on Natchez Burning , other than that I have no idea. I'll see where my reading mood takes me!

Since my mid-week update (846 pgs total) I read 142 pgs of Havana Noir, 110 pgs of Spirit, and I started and finished The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears 228 pgs for an additional 480 pgs.

Total for the week: 1326! :)

Looking forward to the next one!

My mid-week update:
I finished the three books I had going before the readathon--Thunderhead 357 pgs, The Shipping News by Annie Proulx 177 pgs, and Jar City by Arnaldur Indridason 149 pgs (a quick note, if you are a fan of Nordic Noir I recommend checking out this Icelandic author).
I've started a couple of my challenge books---Havana Noir 95 pgs, and Spirit by Graham Masterton, 68 pgs.
Total so far---846 pgs. Not bad, considering I had zero reading time on Monday. :)

I have a lot of down time this week so I should be able to get some reading done! I want to finish up some current reads: Thunderhead , The Shipping News , and Jar City.
For more than one author, I'm going with the short story collection Havana Noir
Scary story: I'm deciding between Spirit or Travelers Rest
Random: I had my son go pick out something for me, he came back with In the Company of Cheerful Ladies by Alexander McCall Smith; works for me, haven't read this series in some time.

Since I have to finish up a couple of reviews tonight, I'm going to call it here. I was able to get some reading in, even with Easter.
I finished Scythe (275 pgs) and Better Late Than Never (153 pgs)
Started and finished Carsick: John Waters Hitchhikes Across America (317 pgs)
Started The White Lioness (96 pgs) and made a bit of progress on The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (47 pgs)
888 pgs total :)
Looking forward to the next one!
