My personal log thread was getting too long, so I decided it was time to make a fresh one. I'm gonna pull all my TBRs from the old thread, and gather all the unfinished books from them to make a TBR for between the April and july readathons, so I can finish all those books I've been intending to finish for a long time.

Out of all my ridiculously long TBRs from this past readathon through to when I started logging my TBRs on my personal thread here, these are almost all the books I have not finished, that I included on my readathon TBRs. I didn't include my unfinished books by Louis L'Amour, Dick Francis, or Andre Norton, since I only vaguely remember which titles I have not finished. I hope to finish all the rest of what I have on my shelves by those 3 authors this year, too.

Good mix of a plan :-)

Let me know what hours you need help. I take a 6-hour break about the middle of the readathon which I move a bit to accommodate other moderators' schedules.

Ann A (readerann) | 867 comments Your pre-readathon stuff always looks like such fun, Jamie - I wish I were a faster reader and had more time to participate.
You have a really interesting list of books in your relay readings. I'd like to read more Isimov and W. Somerset Maugham. I also love Arundhati Roy. Looking forward to Saturday!


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) | 1435 comments Looks like you have a good list going there and progress made already. :) Hope you have a fun pre-readathon week and read-a-thon day

I'll take a ~2hr break probably around hour 6, to support some friends hosting a big freecycle event Saturday, but I hope to be online/reading for the whole rest of the readathon.
