I am happy with what I have accomplished:
Audio 6 hours and 30 minutes
Kindle 5 hours
Finished books: 3

[Cathy]

I hope you had fun with your books! Finished 3 books, nice!

Great job Vavita!
See you back in October hopefully!

[Vavita]

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!

[Lamilla]

Have a great time on vacation, Vavita! Is it your first time in Croatia?

[Cathy]

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!

[Cynda]

Lovely! Maybe reading a few pages of book while floating on a river might be a nice quiet time. Enjoy :)

This is the third time. It is the first time south of Croatia.

[Vavita]

Thanks for the good wishes. I will bring a couple of books with me. I doubt that I will have internet.

[Vavita]

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

[Cathy]

Both maybes sound pretty bloodthirsty… 😝

I liked Bloodchild and it‘s only a short story, it’s a quick read…

[Kate]

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!

[Ann A]

Hope you have a great trip! I do enjoy the Inspector Lynley mysteries, but they can be long.

[Vicki Willis]

Enjoy your reading!

Looks like you had a great readathon, Vavita! How did you like Night of the Mannequins?

Can't wait for the april readathon!

[Cathy]

Very nice amount of reading! More than me, despite being busy in Croatia… 😝

[Vavita]

I liked Night of the Mannequins! I found the MC so creepy! He gave me the right Halloweenie vibes!

I didn’t go! Hubby got sick…

[Cathy]

Oh, I missed that, sorry. I hope Hubby is on the mend and feeling better?

[Vavita]

More less. He is better than Friday but not yet completely fine

[Cynda]

Glad to hear your husband is better. We hope for his continued recovery . . . .Andin the mes time, glad you were able to participate. See you in 2025!

[Vicki Willis]

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

[Vavita]

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

[Susy]

Cool, that’s not the Lisbon trip is it?

[Vavita]

Yes, it is! I hope I am able to read between the wine drinking... LOL!

[Cathy]

Have some nice Portwine! And Pasteis de Nata!

[Susy]

What Cathy said! And drink + eat a few extra for me!

[Vavita]

Readathon April 2025

I 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.

[Ann A]

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.

[Cathy]

Have fun in the time you manage to read! See you around!

[Susy]

Will you be around in these threads Vavita?

[Vavita]

Will jump between GR and discord. Depending on my “social mood”

[Susy]

Lol, I'm doing both

Hope you're enjoying your readathon!

[Vicki Willis]

I love to listen to audio books as I clean too.
The better the book, the more cleaning that gets done!

[Vavita]

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

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Sounds like a busy day! Good luck to your son with his games.
