Total books for the year: 46 of 50. I got the new edition (Penguin Minis) of Legend so I could see how I like reading and carrying around this new, lighter format. So far, I like it. The type isn’t too small, like I was concerned about it being. I can throw it in my bag without adding a lot of weight or taking up space, but I can also put it in my back pocket if I don’t feel like taking my bag, and since it’s a physical book, I don’t have to worry about batteries. I definitely won’t buy this format for books I want to keep forever, but for books I know I’m only going to read once, they seem like the perfect option. Right now, Legend is my “bus book,” so I also started The Word Exchange.
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.
My TBR pile is up to 674 books. I’ve been reading a lot of books, but also adding even more to my wish list.
Magyk by Angie Sage – KEEP. Middle-Grade Fantasy. Why would I get rid of that?
Interesting Times by Matthew Storm- KEEP. A talking cat befriends the MC and then things get interesting. I’m in.
Day of Mindfulness by Milan Barkrania – KEEP. I like to go back to the basics with Mindfulness and Meditation every once in awhile.
The City Center by Simone Pond – GO. The synopsis sounds like this book will be very generic Dystopian Fiction.
Elizabeth’s Legacy by Victor Kloss – KEEP. This is another Middle-Grade Fantasy that sounds like it’s right up my alley.
My TBR pile is down one to 673 books. I’ve got a bunch of Fantasy books coming up for next week, and that means there is a 50/50 chance of keeping them or letting them go.

Total books for the year: 45 of 50. Dewey’s 24-Hour #ReverseReadathon was this weekend. Though I only finished one book during the readathon, I did get through half of Shift.
We’ve made it through the Dewey’s 24-Hour #ReverseReadathon!
I still miss readathoning in Texas, because of the start and end time, but I’m really looking forward to the next readathon in October, regardless!
We’ve made it through 16 hours of Dewey’s 24-Hour #ReverseReadathon and I, though I said I would post an update at 1 AM PST, I fell asleep! I woke up about 15 minutes ago, in time to post this update.
Until my final update, at 5 pm PST, I’ll continue reading Shift and whatever other books I decide to read.
Whether you’re participating in the readathon or not, what book(s) are you currently reading?
Dewey’s 24-Hour Reverse Readathon officially started a little more than 30 minutes ago at 8 PM EST. Since I’m in California, it was at 5 PM, and I was still on the bus headed home from work. I kicked things off with The Shift by Hugh Howey, and now I’m listening to Redshirts by John Scalzi.
Here are my answers to the opening survey:
My first update will be at 1 AM PST. I’ll be tracking how many pages I read and any books I finish. I’ll also include snacks I’ve nommed, and any musical earworms that have gotten into my head.

Total books for the year: 43 of 50. It’s nearly August, and I only have 7 more books to finish to meet my goal. I won’t increase my goal until I actually hit 50 books, though. I don’t want to pressure myself into reading shorter books.
What are you reading this week?
