I started We Are the Ants. I wanted to see if I'll like it, because I felt I wouldn't.. so far I was right.
I have not started at all, I feel as if I am getting on a reading slump right now!! Like why must this happen now.
I'll be reading Graceling by Kristin Cashore and Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse, the colour is a sandy brown.
I’m going to try and read Area 7, Binti, Young Dark Emu, Hoot, and Giant Days vol 6 this week. The colour is Orange.
Hey!!I'll go fo blue/turquoise.
I'm reading as many as I can, but my initial TBR is:
Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges
Cress by Marissa Meyer
Muerte de Tinta by Cornelia Funke
La Galatea by Miguel de Cervantes
Get a Life, Chloe Brown (not necessarily in this order).
I'm starting with Formas de estar lejos by Edurne Portela, which has a gray cover
My color is white, and my plan is to read the following:
,
and
. I haven't started yet, but I will later today.
I started today with my first book for this week: Lightning by Danielle Steel. I really like it so far. I don't know what this book is about actually, but hope it will stay good
My color is black because I am in the middle of prodigy and it is going great, I also have a lot of black covers on my tbr.

Didn't officially start until Monday BUT I know a lot of people like to start early so that's why I usually ask!

My Color is Black and my First Read for this week is
. I mainly pick Black because I want to read all the books in this series this week and Black was the common Denominator !

My color is going to be black. I’m going to finish gone girl and I’m not sure what I’ll start after that.
Sea Blue. Currently reading Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo and might pick up Wicked King by Holly Black next.
I've chosen blue as my color and picked out three books (two physical & one audiobook). The two physical books are Exit, Pursued by a Bear and Shatter Me. The audiobook is an audible original called Sovereign. I just finished EPBAB and it was great! I was a cheerleader for six years, so I tend to be a little biased towards things that involve cheer (anyone seen the new Netflix docuseries haha) but I also feel like it handled the sensitive topics very well.
I spent day 1 travelling home a long weekend conference/party of the year .I got some reading done on the flight about 100 pages of The Love Interest
then I listened to six chapters of Odd One Out
Today is recovery day so taking it easy as I can
Second day and second book: A cabeza da medusa by Marilar Aleixandre
I'm jumping in a day late. I wanted to finish my non-readathon read last night (The Silent Patient), but I will start my first read this afternoon.

Day 1: I started
early and ended up DNFing it early in the day. I then moved on to
and finished it before bed. So 1 book down!
I'm half-way through The Screaming Staircase and plan to read a bit more for today. And I'm going to finish We Are the Ants today since I have only 27% of the book left.
Day 1: I finished All The Light We Cannot See as I had already read it ahead.Day 2: I just finished the Fault in Our Stars for my book club.
I'm reading Truly, Devious next

Day 3: my parents are coming over when I get home from work, so again no reading 😭

Sounds like an interesting read, NoRa!
So I ended up picking white since I have a book for school that I have to read with a white and black cover. So far today I've made progress on
for class and
I'm thinking I'll finish The Test before class tomorrow since it's relatively short and then I'm not sure what I'll pick up next but I do have more class reading to do tomorrow night too
Currently reading:
I didn't get a lot of reading done so far (It's around 10 AM on Wednesday)... but I did get a lot of work done. Still, I started Heidi's Guide to Four Letter Words and Would Like to Meet. I also read some of Circe by Madeline Miller -- but that's for another readathon. I'm hoping to read some more of Heidi's... and Would Like... today. I think these will be the two books I'll end up reading this week (along with Circe). To be honest, if I manage to finish one of them I'm going to consider it a solid win and a successful readathon.
