love that we're having a longer readathon! great timing too, i took the 15th off from work for some extra R&R so i'll have a little more time to read. :)i have no specific goals, but i'd love to average ~100 pages a day, so maybe ~1000 pages for the readathon?

-finish Middlegame
-Lovecraft Country
-How to Be an Antiracist [Black author]
-The Fire Never Goes Out: A Memoir in Pictures [lgbtq]
