Great job Vavita!
See you back in October hopefully!
We decided to go on vacations exactly on the 27th. So that day we will be flying to Croatia, taking over our rented boat, buying groceries, etc, etc. So, most probably I will not participate. Talk again then next year!
Have a great time on vacation, Vavita! Is it your first time in Croatia?
Shoot… 😏 I hope you have good weather and that it’s warm enough for you! If you feel like checking in, even if you only manage to read a few pages, please do!

Thanks for the good wishes. I will bring a couple of books with me. I doubt that I will have internet.
Open books I should be finishing this month: I have to read From a Buick 8 but it is not so exciting. I might not continue with it. Same with A Suitable Vengeance
Maybe:
Sacrificios humanos
Bloodchild
Both maybes sound pretty bloodthirsty… 😝I liked Bloodchild and it‘s only a short story, it’s a quick read…
Hope you enjoy reading at some point during your holiday. But most importantly we want to hear all about your vacation when you get back!
Hope you have a great trip! I do enjoy the Inspector Lynley mysteries, but they can be long.

Oh, so sorry to hear you're not enjoying From a Buick. I really liked it. Havent started A Suitable Vengeance yet, had a 2 month wait at the library, it just came in, but I have other buddy reads to finish first.
Hope you have a great vacation and get some nice reading done too!

Looks like you had a great readathon, Vavita! How did you like Night of the Mannequins?
Can't wait for the april readathon!
Very nice amount of reading! More than me, despite being busy in Croatia… 😝
I liked Night of the Mannequins! I found the MC so creepy! He gave me the right Halloweenie vibes!
Cathy wrote: "Very nice amount of reading! More than me, despite being busy in Croatia… 😝"I didn’t go! Hubby got sick…
Oh, I missed that, sorry. I hope Hubby is on the mend and feeling better?
More less. He is better than Friday but not yet completely fine
Mod
Sorry to hear about your hubby! Hope he continues to be on the mend. I am glad you were able to get some reading in as well.
see you in the new year
I will be on a trip with friends during the readathon. I will still try to read as much as possible. I will probably just pick one book from the list below.Possibilities
Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales
Rose Madder
Lisey's Story
The Redeemer
The Stand
Yes, it is! I hope I am able to read between the wine drinking... LOL!
Have some nice Portwine! And Pasteis de Nata!
What Cathy said! And drink + eat a few extra for me!
Readathon April 2025I am currently reading 2 books and my goal is to finish them. I am reading:
For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway, and
Cenizas de rencor (Thomas Lynley nº 7) by Elizabeth George.
If I manage to finish them, then I will start with The Redeemer(Harry Hole #6).
I am quite busy this weekend. I will do my best. I will not have any snacks prepared or block time. This is why 2 of the 3 books are audios… then I can clean and listen at the same time.
I love Lynley and Harry Hole! (I also have a Lynley on my readathon TBR.) Hope you manage a good amount of reading time, in spite of being busy.
Have fun in the time you manage to read! See you around!
Will you be around in these threads Vavita?
Will jump between GR and discord. Depending on my “social mood”
Lol, I'm doing bothHope you're enjoying your readathon!
I love to listen to audio books as I clean too. The better the book, the more cleaning that gets done!

Great reading time, rating and above all Happiness Level! absolutely love it.
See you back here in July or October!
My son has 2 basketball games on Saturday. The games are 2 hours away from home.This means I will have at least 4 hours to read.
My plan is to finish my current kindle read and my audio:
The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared - kindle
A Child Alone With Strangers - audio
Sounds like a busy day! Good luck to your son with his games.
