Some awesome books you have there, Ellen! Though I’m not too sure about Dune in audio (alone)…
Hope you have a wonderful readathon!

I've been wanting to read bubble for so long, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it! Wishing you a fun marathon!

10:37 EST:
no reading done thus far today. I spent the day running errands and then as a treat went to B&N and bought more books, cause a lady can never have enough, especially physical books, even if they have no more shelf space.

Didn't go inside with anything in mind since I basically have the whole store in my apartment, so mostly browsed with intention of whatever covers caught my eye.

The books purchased were:


Might start Swallow tomorrow.

Hahaha, now there's an awesome readathon goal: get some new books! Nice!
Did you get any reading done or will you be doing that today?
In any case, hope to see you back in April, Ellen!

@Susy, this one wasn't in the cards for me. Too much adulting got in the way. Shame, cause I had it all planned out. At least I got to visit and buy some books for the next readathon!

That’s a shame, but as you say, you got new books for the next Readathon so that’s a yay!

I'm looking forward to actually reading the new books I purchased last year. Working on my 2020 TBR, but will add 1-2 books from 2021.
