Amanda’s comments from the Unexpected Readathon Time / Books Out of the Blue group.

Have I ever followed my own TBR? No. But I post one every time anyway.

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Will I actually read that? Probably not. 🤣

Oh my gosh, I've forgotten to update the last few days. Whoops!

In the last couple days I've finished:

The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman
Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas (audiobook)

I am currently reading:

The Masked City by Genevieve Cogman
Invictus by Ryan Graudin (audiobook)

Yup, my TBR went out the window. I don't know why I even bother with one. 😂

Currently on page 101 of The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman because what is a TBR if you can’t ignore it?

Yay! I'm excited! Usually the weekend or short readathons are at a time I can't participate so it is awesome to have a longer one when I know I can at least get in a few days.

I'm currently reading The Starless Sea but am also eyeballing my brand new copy of A Song of Wraiths and Ruin.

Starless Sea has LGBTQIA+ and Wraiths and Ruin is by a black author and just made the NYT list!

I didn’t do much reading this weekend, feeling a bit under the weather, but today I did start Timekeeper by Tara Sim and so far I am loving it. I like this broken, determined Danny. He knows he is broken and trying to put himself together again and I’m enjoying his journey.

I'm a little late to the party but for this read-a-thon but here I am!

I am reading Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee.

I suppose that is kind of cheat because I'm reading that along with a group read but I'm going to count it anyway. :D

So far I have read 75 pages of The Ravens Tale by Cat Winters. I am loving this book!

I’m in! I have family visiting this weekend so I probably won’t have time to read much but I hope to finish-

Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte

I am currently at 84% of The Gilded Wolves and I am really loving this book. It is so good. Definitely am going to set aside time tomorrow to finish it.

I’m going to be trying to finish The Gilded Wolves this weekend. Loving it so far and am about half through.

Ugh. Didn't get any reading done today.

Finishing the readathon with 155 pages read of Enchantee.

So far I am loving the book and can't wait to read more. Maybe if these "adult" things stop needing done I'll get more read. Hah!

Today I only read about 40 pages of Enchantee. Had a lot going on today including taking a five year old to the dentist which is a torture I would not wish upon my worst enemy. To say the least, I am little bit behind.

I started on Enchantee by Gita Trelease today and read 69 pages. So far I really love this book. I don't see why it is getting so much flack. It is fascinating.

I decided to start with readathon with

Enchantee by Gita Trelease

So far I am in love with this story. Can’t wait to see how it progresses.

I’m still debating my TBR. I literally just DNFed my last read about 10 minutes ago and now am pondering what to read next. It will be one of the below (probably):

The Gilded Wolves
Enchantee
Four Dead Queens

Count me in! Not sure what I’ll be reading yet but I’ll post my TBR as soon as I know.

Alright, today I read 96 pages of Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

During the readathon also read:
52% of King of Fools by Amanda Foody (LGBT rep)
15% of Nevernight by Jay Kristoff
41 pages of Warrior of the Wild by Tricia Levenseller

This was fun and I loved participating!

Still have a few hours of the readathon to go! I abandoned my last read, it just wasn’t working for me, and started on Red Queen which I bought on a whim. Currently on page 41 and am surprised by how much I am enjoying it.

I started reading Warrior of the Wild last night and am currently on page 44. I'm not enjoying it as much as I hoped and am having to force myself to pick it up and read a couple pages. Hopefully it gets better because I loved Levenseller's other books.

Also started on the audio of Nevernight by Jay Kristoff today and am 10% in. I love having an audiobook for at the gym and Nevernight seemed like the perfect book to suit today's miserable weather and mood.

The next book I chose for this was Warrior of the Wild by Tricia Levenseller. I absolutely adored her Daughter of the Pirate King duology so have high hopes for this book as well.

I am currently 31 pages in and so far...not really enjoying it very much. But! It is early still.
