Readathon Team: Dewey Decimators

Book 4 finished!

Okay, that was all the reading I can do for this challenge. Finishing up a bunch of half read books has been the best thing to come out of this readathon for me. Where I've previously had a terrible habit of leaving books unfinished, I have now finished 3 half read books over the course of these past two weeks, as well as read a book that had been on my tbr for an absolute century.

Hopefully I can keep up this habit of actually finishing whatever book I start reading. I literally don't remember ever seeing this cute little icon on my home page, where your current reads normally are:

What are you reading?

[Willemijn]

Oh wait... I've just realised my last book doesn't count for a prompt, because less than 100 pages were left before I started. (Not that it matters much, because with all the wildcards we've got, we've got more than enough)

I know just what you mean. Sometimes I hate something so much that I'm like 'I AM going to finish this and I AM going to review it and you ARE going to be sorry!' LOL.

I just finished Lirael for prompts 16, a book I’d recommend to 25-year-old me. I really enjoyed this book, a lot more than the first part of the series. The main characters are very YA though and I think I would have enjoyed it even more back when I was a little closer to their age ;)

And that’s my last bit of reading for the readathon done. And I think we smashed it! Thank you all, lovely Decimators, and of course our fearless leader Amy for making this such a fun experience!

Awesome Willemijn, so glad you too were able to read so much more than you expected!
I have quite a bit of those half finished books as well, I even created a special shelf for them to try and finish them finally. Slooowly working my way through them, and trying not to add new ones...

Finished for prompt #12.

Great job all...this was fun! I hope we have another one soon.

Finished. It was a pleasure reading with Dewey Decimators and thank you Amy for leading our team! This was a very fun experience.

Finished Kingdom of Needle and Bone to finish #18. I am so amazed at us! We finished 43 prompts and will only use half our wild cards.

This has been a real pleasure for me too and you all have been great. I haven't been this on track with reading in years. (I got almost all of my Seanan McGuire/Mira Grant novellas read, and that's been on my plate for so long I was feeling guilty for getting the new ones!) This was a fantastic way to turn the corner into spring.
