Currently Reading: The Dream Lover by Elizabeth Berg, a review book, The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell, The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon, and The House of Spirits by Isabel Allende for the Classics Club Spin #9.
Finished: Quilt, Book, and Bard by Bryna Chalmer. I won’t be reviewing it, but I will say that I only gave it 2 stars on Goodreads because it was an exercise in frustration. I also finished The Essential Feminist Reader, and Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
Challenges:
- Once Upon a Time IX Progress: 3 out of 4.
- Show Your Shelves Some Love Progress: 14 out of 51.
- Outdo Yourself Progress: 22 out of 66.
- Netgalley/Edelweiss Progress: 7 out of 50.
- SF/F Bingo: I put Storm Front on the “borrowed from a friend” square, and Quilt, Book, and Bard on the “debut author” square.
Total pages read for the week: 400 pages, the last 83% of Good Omens, and the remaining 46% of the podiobook.
Total number of books for the year: 23. Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon helped me get quite a lot of reading done. It also made me feel hungover most of Sunday and in need of detoxing. I didn’t have any caffeine on Sunday. Instead, I drank peppermint tea and lemon water, and I tried to stay away from sugar as much as possible. It’s not a party unless you feel like crap the next day, though, right? I had a blast and can’t wait until October. Most of this week is going to be insanely busy for me as I wrap up the semester. My last day of class is next Monday. I’m greatly looking forward to next Monday.
Top Commenters: This week, I just want to give a great shout out and round of applause to all the cheerleaders for the readathon! 🙂
