This weekend I'm doing a readathon with a Facebook reading group. I'm actually doing it as a 3 day readathon because I have Monday off!
My TBR:






I need to get to the first Scythe book Ashley. I bought the audiobook awhile back.
Have a great 3 day weekend Jenny!

I have not heard of Zenith - I will look it up :)

Zenith is a story set in space, but not a space we know. It is a completely fictional galaxy, many planets, and has a Firefly feel. The captain of the Marauder is named Androma, and definitely reminds me of Malcolm Reynolds, and her crew is spectacular. It is definitely well worth picking up.



Oh I loved One plus one. Jojo Moyes is pretty awesome.

Oh I loved On..."
I liked One Plus One, but I did not like the pace of the book. It was too slow for me.

Have a great 3 day weekend Jenny!"
Thanks Heidi!



O..."
Thats a shame but yes I can see that. It was very slow paced.


I finished




I enjoyed them all. First & Then got 3.5 stars from me. I liked her newest book, Foolish Hearts a lot better. This was her first book and the writing was a bit rough. But I eventually got into it. The characters were awesome, and it had a good ending.
The other 3 books all got 4 stars. Really fun reads!

After that, its



I adored Fahrenheit 451. I would really like to reread it sometime.

I finished


Holy crap Jenny, that's awesome!! I definitely want to pick up the Aly Raisman book.

I finished

Thanks! I recommend it if you are into gymnastics at all :) It was a quick read, and I learned a lot about Aly personally (love her even more now!) and USA gymnastics in general.


Also finished a reread of

You're reading some classics there Ashley. I have never read Les Mis - only watched the movie forms.

Oh wow! Too much of a commitment for me! Good for you :)

VIGNETTES FROM A SICK ROOM by Eva Louise Loutzenheiser, my 1st cousin 3x removed, who was born in 1900 and passed in 1963. I'm still digging a bit to uncover her full story, but she dedicated the little book to her sister Mabel, who appears to have cared for her and helped get the book published by a small indie place in Canton OH, likely after Eva was gone.
It's a very sweet collection of poems and snippets: she has several that involve cobwebs in corners or on lampshades, likely because those are the things she could see from bed, and one memorable piece about hoping a spider crawled out of the sink before she turned on the tap because as much as she disliked spiders she didn't want to drown him :) Also a few pieces thanking friends for sending flowers, reminiscing about how much she used to love pie, and one written in honor of someone's birthday.
If anyone's remotely interested, I also found VIGNETTES on Google Books.

That's so cool Ashley!








I need to get halfway through The Cruel Prince for a book club by Monday. The others I just want to get read as much as I can!




I read Everything Everything, and it was good. Her other book is better though.



I really loved The Sun is Also A Star!



I did too! I actually read it before Everything Everything. I was glad I picked it up to read.





I finished


I'm halfway through

Also just a little way into

I tried the first Abhorsen book because everyone loves that series but I could not get into it at all. I kept falling asleep. I do wonder if that one might be better on audio for me. It seems so popular I feel bad for abandoning it

Will do Heidi! Meeting Holly Black in March! Woot!!!



Sabriel might be best to audiobook. I've never done an audiobook myself, but I know that the other books in the series can be hard to read. Clariel has been the hardest to read for me.

I finished

I'm reading The Cruel Prince myself, and absolutely loving it! I picked it up to read in my local Barnes and Noble, and could not put it down. Eventually, my best friend noticed, and bought it for me.
