I love all your options. I'm going to try to figure out my list tomorrow. I am so behind on the Magical Readathon and so will be basing my picks based on catching up with that.

-Eldest
-Brisingr
-Inheritance
I just finished Eragon, so I'm really excited!


message 24: by J (new)

J L's Bibliomania (jlsbibliomania) | 9 comments Since the start of the COVID-19 shutdown a month ago, about all I’ve been reading is the newspaper and more newspapers and Facebook (and playing games on my phone). So if the Readathon gets me to actually read a BOOK it will be a win.

Both of the books I'm reading are related to upcoming online bookclub meetings

The Secret Garden
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

The Third Daughter
The Third Daughter by Talia Carner

I'm also likely to read a story or two from
How Long 'til Black Future Month?
How Long 'til Black Future Month? by N.K. Jemisin


message 25: by Beachesnbooks (new)

Beachesnbooks | 0 comments I think my potential stack is going to look like this:

The City We Became (Great Cities #1) by N.K. Jemisin Beach Read by Emily Henry Chosen Ones (The Chosen Ones, #1) by Veronica Roth Blink The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter, #3) by J.K. Rowling The Murders of Molly Southbourne (Molly Southbourne, #1) by Tade Thompson 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl by Mona Awad

No particular theme to my TBR, but just books that I hope can hold my attention. I definitely won't get to all of them, but it would be great to finish even 2!

Sarah P | 1 comments Hello everyone!
For the first time in years, this readathon is happening after my winter finals! I will finish these two books first:
The Five The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold After Atlas (Planetfall, #2) by Emma Newman

I want to read+finish these two:
La Terre agonisante (Amblystome, Tome 1) by M.V. Fontaine The Country Where No One Ever Dies by Ornela Vorpsi

And maybe one audiobook (HP1) for when I take my walks, cook etc, and a poetry collection to switch things up. I probably won't read for 24 hours... so I try to keep this TBR reasonable.

Good reading!
S.


message 28: by izzi (new)

izzi (isabella_dasilvaa) | 5 comments My TBR is The Unusual Suspects Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix My Sister's Keeper Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library

Harry Potter and My Sister's Keeper are books I will be finishing, but I also want to attempt to read the other three. Wish me luck. The readathon starts at 8 am for me and it is 2:38 am right now. Hopefully I will be able to get some good rest because I really want to kill this readathon considering it is my first Dewey's Readathon and readathon in general and now my last.

That's my usual style, though I'm kid-free today. Hope you get time to read something other than kids books!

Interested to see what you make of 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl, it keeps catching my eye but I haven't picked it up yet.

Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) Ain't Love a Witch? (Witchless in Seattle, #6) by Dakota Cassidy Good Witch Hunting (Witchless in Seattle, #7) by Dakota Cassidy Fantastic Hope by Laurell K. Hamilton Strange Brew by P.N. Elrod

I'm going to go for some quicker reads, including some cozy mysteries. Probably just keep going with "next in series" of the Witchless in Seattle books because what's in progress for me (starts with Witch Slapped) and spacing the books out with desired short stories in anthology Fantastic Hope and Strange Brew.

message 44: by Vikk (new)

Vikk Simmons (downthewriterspath) | 5 comments I pulled a few books that I've been wanting to spend time with and wrote up a quick post detailing them. One of them is Dickens by Peter Ackroyd. Given that it's nearly 1200 pages I clearly don't plan to finish that one. :) I'm looking forward to spending time deep diving into a number of books.

I'm having to start my site over from scratch after two malware attacks last year. Lost all my work but it's a chance to start anew. So this gives me a chance to write about readathons again.
