Looks like a good readathon! What do you think of Chain Gang? I tried listening to it a few months ago & had a difficult time getting into it. Maybe I need to try reading it?

Maybe I need to try reading it?"I thought it started out really exciting, but I am past the halfway point and it has really slowed down for me. I am not sure where it is going actually.

Awesome readathon, Vicki! I had less snacks too this time (though still plenty to choose from as I'm away for the weekend); feeling way better than when I eat too much.
See you back in April!

See you in 2025 :)
Sounds like you and Bailey had a good readathon! I’ve heard good things about Framed, and Grisham is such a good storyteller. See you next time/year!
Sounds like you had a great readathon Vicki. I once overdid it on snacks too, felt like I needed to eat everything I planned. I've pulled back on that too.See you in April.
Thanks everyone!I am just getting caught up on catching up with the end of everyone's RaT.
Can't wait to see you all in the fall
Vavita, The Picture Frame was good and creepy. Short too, so good for a read a thon.
It looks as if you had a satisfactory readathon! See you in spring!
