#StayHome24in48 Readathon – Social Distancing Edition!

Published on by Rachelle


The Social Distancing Edition of the #24in48 Readathon just started, 9 pm PST (Midnight for all y’all East Coasters)!  This is the Readathon that started it all for me, and it’s the Readathon that will help keep me from going insane as the entire state of California is now under “shelter in place” orders.  This will be my 9th 24 in 48, and I’ve been so excited that I bravely walked to Target in search of snacks.

Goals:

  • Read for 24 hours.
  • Finish at least three books.

TBR:
The first book on my TBR is the one I’m currently reading, but everything else are books I’ve been wanting to read for awhile.

  • The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss
  • The First Pillar by Roy Huff
  • The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop by Lewis Buzbee
  • How to Build A Girl by Caitlan Moran
  • Jackaby by William Ritter
  • The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley


Are you participating in the 24 in 48 Readathon?

Monday’s Minutes

Published on by Rachelle

“Monday’s Minutes” is a weekly post in which I track my bookish life.

Currently Reading:

  • The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss
  • The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen
  • The Diary of a Bookseller by Shaun Bythell

Total pages read this week: 231

Total books for the year: 15 of 85. Both of the public library systems I use have been closed to the public. I’m still going to finish the books I checked out before I continue reading The Wise Man’s Fear, but mostly because they’re both really good!

Currently Reading:

  • The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss

Finished:

  • Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

Total books for the year: 15 of 85. I’m determined to finish reading my library books before I go back to reading The Wise Man’s Fear. I need to have The Diary of a Bookseller finished by the 18th and Queen of the Tearling by the 21st, which shouldn’t be a problem as long as I don’t allow myself to get distracted by other books.

  • This check-in is for February 21st – 27th.
