There are only 12 hours left of the 24 in 48 readathon!
I stayed up far past my bedtime reading last night, and since I also had to get up earlier than I wanted to yesterday, I let myself sleep in.

My final update will be at 11 pm central time!
Normally, I would have done my first update at hour 12 of the 24 in 48 readathon (11 am central time for me), but as I mentioned last night, I was clearing out my storage unit before I move to California.
However, I lucked out a bit by being in the moving van all by myself on the ride to and from the storage unit, which meant I got to listen to an audiobook. On top of that, everything was done and the moving van returned by lunchtime. So, I was back home and on the couch with a book by around 2 pm.

Rachel is doing another #24in48 Readathon this weekend! This is the Readathon that started it all for me. I created this blog so I could better connect with such a great bookish community. This will be my 5th 24 in 48! Unfortunately, I won’t be able to participate for a full 24 hours this time. The Boyfriend and I are getting ready to move to San Fransisco and will be spending most of tomorrow clearing out my storage unit.
Goals:
TBR:
Even though I won’t have time to attempt a full 24 hours of reading, I still made a small stack of books to choose from which are all short and sweet. All of the book covers are linked to Goodreads.

Total pages read this week: 530
Total books for the year: 5 of 90. It’s been an extremely busy week as the Boyfriend and I make plans to move. I don’t know how much reading I’m going to accomplish over the next month or so, but my goal is to read for at least a half hour every night before bed. I call it a goal, but really it’s part of my self-care plan to maintain my sanity 😉 Luckily, I’m still on track to finish 90 books this year.
What are you reading this week?
Down the TBR Hole was started by Lia over at Lost in a Story. All book covers are linked to Goodreads unless otherwise noted.
I will be repeating this process until I’ve filtered out my entire TBR. It’s been a while since I did one of these posts, and in that time, my TBR skyrocketed up to 706 books!!! How did that happen? I finally scanned all of my books into Goodreads, that’s how!
The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett – KEEP. The Discworld series is one of those essentials for every Fantasy fan to read. I will read this book, hopefully sometime this year.
Daughter of the Sun by Lonnie Ezell – GO. Meh. That is all.
The Viking’s Apprentice by Kevin McLeod – KEEP. I don’t think I’ve ever read a Middle Grade Fantasy involving Vikings. That alone makes this one interesting enough to keep.
He Who Walks in Shadow by Brett J. Talley – GO. I didn’t realize this was a sequel when I got it for free. After reading the synopsis for the 1st book, That Which Should Not Be, I’m not interested enough to keep it, despite its being a nod to Lovecraft.
The Wnter Freak Show by Daniel Parsons – KEEP. I’ve had this ebook for a couple of years now, and I’m determined to make it a part of my Christmas TBR this year.
My to-read shelf is down to 704 books. See you next Saturday when I start with book #121.
“Thursday’s Things” is a roundup of book-related links I’ve come across while wandering down the rabbit hole that is the internet.
I’m on a book buying ban for the next month or so. The Boyfriend and I might be moving to San Fransisco, and if we do, the square footage of where we end up living is bound to be tiny in comparison to our current apartment. So, not only do I need to save money for moving expenses, but I need to save as much precious physical space as possible. However, no one said I can’t “shop” for ebooks without spending any money! Here is a list of 10 places we can all get our fix for free:

Total books for the year: 4 of 90. Another Bout of Books is over and #COYER has switched to the next phase, which for me is “The One With The Twist”. I chose to stick to my physical books for this phase, so until February 9th, I will be concentrating on finishing The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and as many other physical books off of my TBR as I can.

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 8th and runs through Sunday, January 14th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 21 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team
I didn’t get much reading done, but I did listen to a bit of Dharma Punx by Noah Levine on my way to and from the grocery store. It wasn’t until the afternoon when I finally got some time to return to Blood Rites by Jim Butcher.
Overall, this wasn’t my best Bout of Books, but I also didn’t have the luxury of being on vacation this time and my life hasn’t gotten significantly busier the past couple of weeks. Still, I did manage to finish 2 books and get nearly half-way through 2 others. I’m looking forward to the next Bout of Books in May!
