Sundial
Lovecraft Country
The Daughter of Doctor Moreau
Reluctant Immortals

[Susy]

Wow, you already have a TBR? Way to go Vavita!

[Vavita]

Those are the books for the challenge of the Specfic group
LOL!

[Cathy]

Lol, I guess I could list some of those as well, but my October is already so full with buddy reads!

[Susy]

Oh, I see, lol

[Cathy]

My October is looking more relaxed by now! I even started listing some stuff… 😝 https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Vavita]

I am getting tomorrow an exchange student. I hope I can do some reading at some point…

[Susy]

Fingers crossed!!

[Vavita]

Change of plans:
Former TBR is obsolete. I am not a person who can plan much in advance…
I am moving on with The Whispering Muse which I left unattended for a week.
Then, I am Starting with the 10th Fred Vargas: A Climate of Fear. This is a great series!
Stolen Tongues is a free audible so just something for in-between…

[Susy]

Sounds good Vavita! Happy readathon!

[Cathy]

Have fun, Vavita! I have the first Fred Vargas on my shelf….

[Susy]

How did it go Vavita? Did you finish The Whispering Muse?

I think I need to start reading Fred Vargas.
How did you like Stolen Tongues?

[Vavita]

I didn’t finish. I went out to vote and fell on the street. My knee was bleeding a lot and I twisted my ankle again!
I came back home, had some pills, and just fell asleep. I was in so much pain! Still am…

[Cathy]

Oh no, I am so sorry to read that, Vavita! I hope your knee is otherwise ok!

[Susy]

Oh no, I’m so sorry Vavita! Hope you’ll recover soon!

[Cynda]

Hope you're getting a little relief--or lots.

[Vicki Willis]

Take care Vavita! Hope you are better soon.

[Vavita]

Not sure what I will read on next week's readathon. I am currently reading:
Desesperación - Stephen King
Pago sangriento - Elizabeth George
Maybe I will just try to finish one of those…

[Cathy]

I will mostly just do mood reading and see what my library has to offer. Maybe something from the old TBR pile…

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Sounds fun, Vavita - I love Stephen King!

[Lamilla]

At the end of a readathon i often find myself with several books just started, so finishing the one you are reading seems a very nice idea!

[Cynda]

Vavita I have been working my way through some less horrific Stephen King by reading Different Seasons. So far very good novellas.

Oh! Different Seasons is wonderful! It made me cry a lot...
I have a sweet spot for murder, blood, and dismemberments so I am quite happy right now with Desperation. In general, I enjoy King's plots and character developments.

I just started with readathons last year. I am still trying to find the best way to navigate through them.

[Vavita]

Updated TBR:

As I already finished
Desesperación - Stephen King

I will the concentrate on:
Payment in Blood audio
The Warm Hands of Ghosts ebook
El Origen de Todos Los Males paperback

[Cathy]

I added The Warm Hands of Ghosts to my Libby, but I am not sure if I want to actually read it… 😏

[Vavita]

I will let you know how my thoughts.

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Hello! Happy Pre-Readathon Greeting! Almost there!

[Vavita]

Counting the minutes!

[Susy]

Happy readathon!

[Cynda]

Happy Reading day!

[Cynda]

Good to know you and others will do an extra lap after official readathon. I will join in in the morning after my sleep study tonight. Something too good for my health to be put off. So good to know others will be here in morning.

[Vavita]

Wrap Up April Readathon

Hours spent reading: 5

2 hours and 30 minutes of audio - Pago sangriento by Elizabeth George
33 % of ebook - The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden
49 pages of paperback - El Origen de Todos Los Males by Sofía Guadarrama Collado

Lessons Learned
Impossible to do this with family at home. Go away or send them away!
It is not enough to plan everything. Write it down or you will forget anyway!

[Lamilla]

Beautiful Lessons Learned, Vavita!

See you next readathon

[Cynda]

Vavita El Origen de Todos los Males makes me want to practice my Spanish. Enjoy finishing your books.

Looks like a great readathon, Vavita!
I'm doing this for years and I still have my lessons learned lol

[Cathy]

So, next time we rent a cabin as well? Somewhere in the middle between us? 😏

How did you like the Arden?

[Vavita]

I am not crazy about The Warm Hands… it is not bad but it is just too simple so far. There is not much going on…

[Susy]

Yes! I think you should rent a cabin as well! Can definitely recommend it!

[Vicki Willis]

I agree about having the family around. They just don't get it if they are not readers.
Hope to see you in July at the next one.

[Susan]

I understand the family interruptions! It's taken years, but they now know to leave me alone for 24 hours. Regardless, you probably got more reading time than usual. Hope to see you next time!

[Cynda]

Vavita the salmon and Ritz crackers sounds like snackish goodness. I was thinking of same (with cream cheese too), but decided on something else. Maybe I will decide on salmon and crackers for another RAD. Enjoy!

[Vavita]

Finished my audio Licenciado en asesinato and now on my kindle with To Sir Philip with Love (New Ed) Paperback

[Vavita]

I manage to read the first four hours:

2 hours of audio and 1 and a half of kindle. I finished the audio.

Then I fell asleep… now I have to do grocery shopping while starting another audio.
