Readathon TBRs Oct2022

[Jamie]

Have you finalized your TBR? What are you hoping to be reading for this readathon?

[Janneke]

My TBR is almost ready and I am really looking forward to my very first readathon! :) I even have some graphic novels and a short story collection in my stack. Genres that I normally never go for, but I thought that it would be nice to have a diverse stack of books to choose from. Because 24 hours is a loooooot of hours, and only reading novels might not be enough to fill all that time. So many new things for me to try out this weekend :D

Good luck with your readathon! I've been taking part for years

[Katherine]

Here's how I've done so far for the pre-readathon challenge and also wich books are on my TBR for this session of the readathon. Wanted to finish more books, but ran out of time.

i have a bunch of in progress books that i'm hoping to finish up - i'm not sure how many "fresh" aka non-previously started books i'll get to

[Zihan]

Excited for yet another readathon! Since it's spooky season I'll be focusing on classic horror novels

[Stephanie]

I plan on reading my ARC for The Christmas Hummingbird. I’m hoping that it will be a good feel-good book that will keep my focus. I have been looking forward to the readathon, but I don't know how much I will be able to read. I have been struggling focusing on anything lately even though I really need that escape.

I also have a small backup TBR just in case I need to shift with my mood but feel that I can keep reading. Most of the books are backlogged ARCs that I wasn’t able to finish before they were released.

Current Reads:
Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove
The Maze

Novels:
In the Shadow of a Queen
The Heart Rehab Experiment

Audiobook:
An Unexpected Peril

Middle Grade Novel:
The School for Good and Evil

[Jamie]

I love making huge TBR stacks, but I set my limit for this weekend's TBR at 25 books, plus a few specific short ones for sprints.
Library Books-
Make Russia Great Again, The House of Rust, Piranesi, Tooth and Claw, Ragnarok, Edge Case, Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, The President and the Frog, Claire and the Sea Light, Attack Surface
Borrowed Books - Hamlet Revenge!, Spinning Silver, Camouflage, Ink and Shadows, The Burning Page, Blood Trillium; The Tower of Nero; Mr. Midshipman Hornblower; Breath, Eyes, Memory; Joust
My Books - Silent City, The Age of Treachery, White Fur, The Luminous Heart of Jonah S., The Night of the Fire
Sprint books: Deeper Than Darkness, Operation Time Search, Enquiry, The Riders of Lost Creek, Under the Sweetwater Rim, The Wind off the Small Isles, Anacaona

I won't finish them all, of course, but I ought to have enough variety in this collection to stay happily in reading mode for the full 24hrs.

[Lynnette]

Hoping to finish three partially read books. Read two graphic novels and do sprints in between on four additional books.

And some others.
I surely won't get through all of them, but as anyone else, I need options. :)

[Rachel]

Got a couple of library books I'm hoping to read

The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins
The House Across The Lake by Riley Sagar

Apart from those, I've also been reading Death Note and One Piece for ages so I'd like to make some progress in them too

Maybe some old kindle books if I'm being optimistic

[Cathy]

The timing is always weird for me, starting at 2pm in Germany. I have things to do on Saturdays and I am going to the theatre tonight, so I won‘t be reading much in the first 12 hours. And then it will be the middle of the night… we‘ll see… 😝

I am 75% through Chosen, so I want to finish that this weekend. Then there is Ship of Destiny — I only read 50 pages of this 900+ page monster, so definitely not finishing this weekend. But maybe taking a good bite out of it?

And I just started a fairly short audio: The 392

I only have a few stories left in The Best Science Fiction of the Year: Volume Six.

And if I have time left after that, I might read Into the Riverlands, which is the third novella of a trilogy. Well, not sure actually if it‘s a trilogy.

[Lena]

I'm doing a Re-read of before the sequel comes out next month -->

[Lamilla]

Good choice with the collection of short stories, Cathy!

I don't have a set TBR yet, planning to start with an audiobook and thriller (or both at once) during the first sprint and go on from there

[Lidya]

I'm going to finish the The Eternity Code for the sprint. For the rest of the marathon I think I will read something from my currently reading list. I wish this readathon I will finish some books.

I'm so indecisive so I just made a huge tbr with A LOT of options.
I'm currently reading Delicates and was planning on reading a court of silver flames after since that won in a poll I made.

Graphic novels


Novels


Poetry

[Kimberly]

Hello all. I've been participating since the beginning but I'm terrible at posting and commenting on all the things. I'm hoping to make progress in the two books I've already started: Dead Silence and Hidden Pictures. I've got 119 assignments to grade this weekend and a mountain of housework to do so we'll see how much reading I can actually manage. Have fun everyone!

That reminded me that graphic novels always was a good choice for me during this readathon!

[Amy]

Running a little late today! I’ll be starting my read-a-thon at 11 with The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury to set the mood, then I have several short story collections from Edgar Allen Poe, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Washington Irving. I also have Drive Your Plow Over The Bones of the Dead, Leave the World Behind, and the Turn of the Screw. We shall see how far I get!

I feel so productive reading them and they're so fun :)
