2. Which book(s) are you most excited to read this weekend?
3. How have your yearly, monthly, and quarterly challenges been going? Which challenge are you *really* hoping to complete during this readathon?
I wasn't sure I'd be able to take part in this Readathon as I've got a busy weekend of family commitments. But, I'm still finding time to read.Anything from my TBR
* Friday 1 Nov: 129 pages (33%) of ASOE read
* Saturday 2 Nov: 255 pages (67%) of ASOE. Books completed: A Symphony of Echoes
* Sunday 3 Nov: 236 pages (48%) of ASC read
* Monday 4 Nov: 256 pages (52%) of ASC read. Books completed: A Second Chance
* Total pages read: 876. Books completed: 2
My answers to the discussion questions
1. As at 31 October, I have read 94 books. My goal is to read 101 in 2024 so I should get there even though I feel like I've been in a slump the past few weeks (probably due to the family stuff I have going on).
My favourite books read so far are: The Last Devil to Die, Ink Blood Sister Scribe, Murtagh and A Deadly Education.
My least favourites are: The Two Noble Kinsmen and Raven's Gate
2. I am most excited to read more of The Chronicles of St Mary's series by Jodi Taylor during this readathon.
3. My challenges have been going really well. I've completed every quarterly and monthly challenge that I've signed up for and currently working on my Q4 and November challenges (although the books I'm reading this weekend won't really count towards those). I signed up for 8 yearly challenges (including one in another group) and have already reached my goal in 4 of them.
I am joining as well as I have lately been too busy to keep up with my goals - so I hope this motivates me to find more time for reading again (and it is individual - so if not I can only fail for myself :D). I will answer the discussion questions a bit later. (Also, I somehow missed the start of this event, so yesterday wasn't a good reading day for me.)

1. Tell us how your reading has been so far this year. What have your favorite books been? Which have you hated? I've had a great reading year so far! I've finished my overarching 2024 goal of 75 books so now I'm able to focus on what's left of my challenges within this group. My favorite book has been CREED: A Dark Sins Duet (Book One) by Meg Eliza. My most recent hated book was Nothing But Blackened Teeth.
2. Which book(s) are you most excited to read this weekend? I was most excited to read House of Clowns and I did get to read some of it, though I didn't end up finishing it.
3. How have your yearly, monthly, and quarterly challenges been going? Which challenge are you *really* hoping to complete during this readathon? Great! I have 2 prompts left in Genre Bingo and I've already completed Bookworms Take Shelfies. I reduced my challenge sign ups drastically this year which has helped me focus on more of my favorites so it's been nice.

Discussion Questions:
1. Tell us how your reading has been so far this year. What have your favorite books been? Which have you hated?
It's been a good reading year. I'm a few books from my goodreads goal. My favorites were re-reads: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Murder on the Orient Express. My favorite new reads were: Six of Crows, Before Your Memory Fades, and Every Heart a Doorway. My least favorite was Heart of Darkness.
2. Which book(s) are you most excited to read this weekend?
Death on the Nile and The Wild Robot
3. How have your yearly, monthly, and quarterly challenges been going? Which challenge are you *really* hoping to complete during this readathon?
I think I've been doing well on all my challenges. I have left the tough prompts for the end though. So I really don't think I'll be able complete any during this readathon.
I'm trying to get back to reading. My reading has mostly been put on hold the last several weeks.Friday, Nov. 1 Pages Read: 0

Welcome, everyone!I'm so glad to be reading this weekend with you all and trying to finish up some of our reading goals for 2024. Reading through all of your answers to the discussion questions has been so fun! I love seeing which books we have in common whether through TBR or already read books. I hope we can all enjoy the rest of this readathon and make a final sprint of progress towards our goals!!
