[[deleted user]]

Your TBR is *chef´s kiss*

[Jamie]

Well, another readathon is over.
Read but did not finish:
The Chamber -- Start page 50, Stop page 130
The Secret History -- Start page 100, Stop page 150



Finished:
The Magic of Oz
Glinda of Oz
Blonde

I did manage to read for the full 24 hours (yay!).

[Susan]

Amazing! Great job Jamie.

All 24 hours! Wow! Fantastic! Well done you! :)

[Jamie]

TBR so far for the Reverse Readathon coming up Aug 7:
All the Pretty Horses
The Chamber
The Years of Rice and Salt
Fury
On the Beach

My rescue kittens need a bit more time before they go in for spay/neuter surgeries, so they will still be here helping me with my readathon that weekend. But it does sound like we have a good possibility for a rescue organization they can go to once they are ready, to find better homes more quickly.

[Elyse]

Welcome back!

[Jamie]

My TBR for this weekend's Reverse Readathon. No, I won't finish them all, but I've already read more than half of some of them, so if I can get back into them for at least a few hours, I could finish several this readathon.

The Master
In the Woods
The Chamber
All the Pretty Horses
The Years of Rice and Salt
Fury
On the Beach

Lots of choices!
Same here. I'm hoping to finish books I started before, too. ;-)

[Jamie]

Update: I am starting to get into my first book finally. It is a novel that started out as fanfiction, not a genre I am used to reading, so it has taken longer to get used to it. I am

Now reading:
The Angel of the Crows, started page 1, currently on page 130.
Death on the Downs as an audiobook, started at 4hrs, now at 5hrs & 5 minutes. This is book 2 of a series of murder mysteries I am rather enjoying, with just a hint of Douglas Adams-style dry humor and starring a pair of female amateur sleuths.

Now reading:
The Angel of the Crows, started page 130, currently on page 283.
Death on the Downs as an audiobook, started at 5hrs & 5 minutes. I'll be sticking with this one for the next 2hrs or so, and I have about 2 hours left, so hopefully I'll finish this one by my next check-in here.

Wrap-up for Dewey's Reverse Readathon, Aug. 2020.

Finished:
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany
Death on the Downs

Read at least 50pgs:
The Angel of the Crows
The Nursing Home Murder
Titus Groan

I finished all 24hrs of this readathon, with a nice 3hr nap right after the readathon ended. I will roll over the rest of my TBR to next weekend, for the monthly Shadow Lounge readathon, though I may finish a few before then.
I highly recommend the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich for anyone who likes big books. It is well written, not nearly as dry as I expected, considering that it is a history book with lots of footnotes. I read it this year to gain insight about how fascism happens, and how everyday Germans experienced the regime that to an outsider from our time might seem horrific. If things got/get as bad in the US, would we notice. and how? What might we be able to do to resist or prevent such a nightmare in the US, if anything? I am not sure I got many solid answers about that part, but it was a timely read.
Death on the Downs was an audiobook, second in a series of murder mysteries I found on youtube. They are quite good, with solid female characters , including the 2 amateur sleuths. Carol, the primary sleuth, seems like an undiagnosed aspie (person on the autistic spectrum), which I like because I can relate to her better.
The Angel of the Crows is maybe not quite my thing, a novel that developed out of Sherlock fanfiction, in which Sherlock is instead a winged 'angel', Moriarty is a vampire, and Watson is a hellhound. I have a hard time with the scenes that draw too obviously from Sherlock episodes, but I'm just not used to reading fanfiction anyway.
The Nursing Home Murder is another audiobook, though I read part of this series as print books too. I am trying to go through the series in order this year because there is character development from one book to the next that I missed by reading a few of them out of order a few years ago.
Titus Groan is weird, so far. I have an omnibus edition that is the whole trilogy, so I may finish all 3 by the end of next weekend, but getting into the fantasy world for this trilogy is taking some effort.

I had lots more snacks this readathon, something I never worry about for the 2-day readathons, but for a 24hr marathon they seemed to help. I did not get around to yoga this time, so no wonder I was feeling stiff by hour 23. I had some issues with my internet blipping off for short intervals, one of those being most of the hour when I was supposed to have posted one of my discussion prompts (literally the question was typed out and I was proofreading it when the internet went off for almost an hour, very frustrating), but so few people were even awake&online for the late night (in the US) portion of the readathon that it wasn't so terrible. Actually my power blinked off for an hour during hours 20-21, just after my last co-mod hour, so maybe our neighborhood is getting maintenance on nearby power poles to fix whatever is making my internet glitchy? Oh well. It was a good readathon.
