Everyone ready? Just a couple of days left! I 'm not sure yet what I 'm going to read. I guess I 'll figure it out closer to the day.
I am late to the party, will you have another one in July?

Thanks for the reminder! so buried in Wheel stuff I'd completely forgotten about this one, lol.I will hopefully finish The Alchemist's Code, read Raft and listen to Paradox Bound during the readathon. If the letters fit, I'm hoping to get started on Infinite Jest too.
Laura wrote: "Everyone ready? Just a couple of days left! I 'm not sure yet what I 'm going to read. I guess I 'll figure it out closer to the day."Yes! I know what I'll be reading. I have books picked out for a different team challenge just sitting and waiting to be started. :)
Definitely ready! I still don't know which books I'm going to pick up though...
I am already to start tomorrow! I will begin with Woof and The Bookish Life of Nina Hill. I will be reading a NetGalley book Name Tags and Other Sixth-Grade Disasters with my grandson too. :)
How is everyone doing? I made progress on Woof, but I am a little disappointed because I didn't realize it is a middle grade story. I confused it with the author's other series, starting with Dog on It, which is for adults. I'm still going to read it because I need it for another challenge, but I wish I had chosen the other series. Oh well. At least it isn't bad, just not what I was going for. I am also reading The Bookish Life of Nina Hill, which is really cute so far. I'm about halfway through.
I made a little progress but not as much as I liked but that's okay. We spent most of the day with dad for Father's Day. Cards, gifts, grandkids, Bbq, cards, fishing, out in the boat. It was a busy day- but lovely.
I did start two books Five Feet Apart and A Discovery of Witches.
Kristie, I have that book borrowed- I'm hoping I have time to read it before my loan expires. I've heard good things about it.
Laura wrote: "Kristie, I have that book borrowed- I'm hoping I have time to read it before my loan expires. I've heard good things about it."I hope you have time to get to Nina. It certainly has some funny parts. I'm hoping to read most of it tomorrow.
What do you think of Five Feet Apart? I've borrowed it twice, but not read it yet. I seem to be really undecided on it.

I read it in 2019, this will be a re read. It's great to get some awareness of CF.
I actually managed to finish my first book yesterday already! The Wicker King was a super quick read (the chapters regularly weren't even a page long) and I really enjoyed it. I ordered the author's second book immediately. I loved Nina Hill when I read it last year! One of the most relatable MCs out there (at least for me!)
I totally forgot when this was starting BUT, wheels reading kinda helped and Sunday's are lazy days...sooooo... I managed to read 2 books and started a third - they were small.
Judy wrote: "I loved Nina Hill when I read it last year! One of the most relatable MCs out there (at least for me!)"Yes, she is pretty relatable! lol
Sonia - I love that you forgot all about this and still managed to read two books. I need to take lessons. lol
Kristie wrote: "Sonia - I love that you forgot all about this and still managed to read two books. I need to take lessons. lol"Happy coincidence.
I finished my first book, The Bookish Life of Nina Hill. It was a quick and fun read, pretty much what you expect it to be.
I've started Trouble in Mudbug. I read a couple of Jana Deleon's other books from the Miss Fortune series and they were really funny, so I'm giving this one a try.
I finished two, read two and started two more so far. :)
Kristie wrote: "Laura wrote: "I finally finished a book- Five Feet Apart"What did you think of it?"
3 stars.. It wasn’t my favourite or least favourite book and not necessarily the best book for a re read ( audio this time around) but I thought it was a good book to raise awareness for CF. I forgot the ending and enjoyed it more this time around- possibly due to the emotion you could hear in the narrator’s voices?

what did you think to infinite jest?
I've been absolutely terrible about updating but I've read so much this past week! I've finished 8 books which is just insane - and 5 of them were audiobooks. Even more important: Everything I read was at least good, most of it was great!No idea what changed this month but I've just been breezing through audiobooks like never before. Most of what I've picked up recently has been on the shorter side, but 2000 pages in a week is still pretty much the maximum I can do.
Marie (UK) wrote: "what did you think to infinite jest?"Well, I'm not quite done yet, but LOVED the first quarter or so, then it started to drag a bit. In the end I had to step away and read some other stuff as it's just so depressing! I thought it was meant to be a comedy, lol.
890 pages and 74 hours of audio over 8 books. not too shabby, but not entirely unexpected seeing as how I'm in "crazy challenge reading" mode :)
