Goodreads is so great! And this group is a great way to start. Good book choices! The Illuminae trilogy is at the top of my TBR for 2019. And the Grisha trilogy. lol. Good luck!
Pretty good selection, especially the short books - they are essential in my opinion ))

Thank you! The re-reading of the Illuminae trilogy is glorious, honestly

Yes! Reading only books of 400-500 pages in a readathon is pretty devastating

Wow, happy readathon to you too!
Wow, happy readathon to you too!
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
Spain!
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
I will always love you- Marisa Morea. It´s a collection of biographies of musicians and there´s a looot of pictures
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
Pringles or some little filled sponge cakes, I can´t decide
4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
When I´m stressed with work or studies, I always decide that to read 5 or 6 books at once is the best I can do, instead of starting to work lol
5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to?
I participated in the last one (the reverse-) but I only participated in a sprint I think. This is the first time I´m trying to participate in several activities

I've never formally participated in one of the sprints, but I'm hoping to today! There are so many activities during the readathon that its impossible to do everything I want to. Good luck!
Have a good fun readathon! Good luck! :D

Wow wow! Yeah, Marta! That's awesome! Keep it up!
Wow -- your maths may be sleepy, but I wish mine were sleepy like that too. You've made great progress so far! Congratulations!!
Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book! Hope you loved it! Happy Readathon!
Mod
Sooo, I´ve edited the previous posts with the upgrades
I slept 3 hours and I´m gonna join again at hour 23 with Witches abroad by Terry Pratchett. It´s easier to read than Six of Crows right know.

Aah, The Crucible. I studied that in high school English. I do like Arthur Miller. I also discovered last year that I like Terry Pratchett. Too many good authors - not enough hours (or readathons ;)
Mod
Good luck with the readathon. I have Sleeping Giants on my tbr for next month. I hope you enjoy.

This is my 3d time participating in Dewey´s Readathon (through twitter), but it will be the first time living the experience through Goodreads! The reason? I´m a newbie in this platform! Well, I´ve been here for 5 months, but I have no clue about the functioning of the groups. Yeah. Still, I´m so excited to be here!
