[Jamie]

What are you hoping to read during this readathon? Share your TBR here (so everyone else can be inspired to add more books to their TBR shelves).

[Cynda]

These are my main options for the Reverse Readathon. I want to read them all. I figure that ones I don't read this time, maybe K will next. . . . .

Amadeus by Peter Shaffer
My Uncle Oswald by Roald Dahl
The Girl Who Was Convinced Beyond All Reason That She Could Fly by Sybil Lamb
Harlequin Valentine by Neil Gaiman
Friday Nights at Honeybee's by Andrea Smith
Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan
Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

[Stephanie]

I am doing a first for me during this time…I'm going to attempt to read only one book. The book I chose is The Sandman Omnibus, Vol. 1 by Neil Gaiman as a prep for the Netflix adaptation that will be released in 2 weeks. Even though it’s a collection of graphic novels, I think the 1,000+ pages will give me plenty to read!!

I also have a backup TBR in case I can’t read The Sandman for some reason, or I need a break from it. Here is my backup TBR list:

Novels:
Gallant by V.E. Schwab
Catwoman: Soulstealer by Sarah J. Maas

Graphic Novels:
Star Wars: Darth Vader, Vol. 1: Vader by Kieron Gillen
Norse Mythology, Vol. 1 by Neil Gaiman

Novellas and Middle Grade Novels:
Signal Moon by Kate Quinn
Little Book of Tiny Tales: Volume 2 by Jeremy Ray
City of Villains by Estelle Laure
The Beast Within: A Tale of Beauty's Prince by Serena Valentino
The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani

TBR PILE for Dewey's July Reverse-Readathon

The audiobook will be this one. It is long, so I will not finish it during the read-a-thon, but will use to make progress on it when I need an eye break.



As always, will not read all of these, but have this selection to choose from depending on mood

Not started yet but as options for the Readathon:



And because I am rereading the entire Dark Tower series beginning to end for at least the 5th time, I thought it was high time I read the poem that was part of the inspiration for the saga: Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came by Robert Browning


Dark Tower is also loosely inspired by the King Arthur Legends of Old so:

[Rebecca]

I'm reading The Journey for our local SF bookclub
finishing up The Club
possibly starting Mothercare: On Obligation, Love, Death, and Ambivalence by my Aunt (!!)
and also thinking of
Cult Classic
maybe some comics, because I have a ton I haven't read
for audio, I have five hours left in The Retreat

[Cathy]

The Reverse Readathon starts in a little over an hour, at 2 AM CET, if I calculated that correctly. I wanted to stay up for the start at least, but I am tired. I won‘t last that long anymore. Also, I want to go to the farmer‘s market tomorrow morning or at least to the supermarket for some grocery shopping and don‘t want to get up so late.

Here is what I will read… well, some of it:

Currently reading:
- Ship of Magic, paper
- How the Earth Works, audio
- Sherlock Holmes: The Definitive Audio Collection, narrated by Stephen Fry:
#3) The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, A Scandal in Bohemia, Watson meets The Woman.
- They're Not Like Us, Vol. 1: Black Holes for the Young, eComic, StoryGraph Reading Randomizer #2 September

Planned:
- The Empress of Salt and Fortune, ebook, TBR pile

I should get some reading done tomorrow evening—I‘ll be house- and dog-sitting all on my lonesome…

[Virago]

I pulled this together at the absolute last minute. My procrastination has gotten worse, if that's possible.

The Last Wish
It Devours!
Sword of Destiny
Iron Widow
Seafire

[Lidya]

Mostly I'm finishing my Reading Shelf:
- Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident
- Heidegger dan Mistik Keseharian
and finishing (probably rereading also):
- The Book of Lost Things

[CL]

I’m reading the forest of hands and teeth and maybe finish the Trials of Apollo, What if it’s us and the return of the witch.

[SadieReadsAgain]

I'm so behind! I meant to wake up at 1am for kick-off, but insomnia is a cow...I ended up turning off my alarm and only woke at 8am!!!

But I aim to finish A Corruption of Blood, I have The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle on audio for dog walks and chores, and then I'm hoping to make a good dent in both The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois and Great Circle.

So I better get cracking!!
