#readathon warm up
I'm still reading the same books I'd started the last time I did the Wednesday reading meme, so nothing new to report there.
But!
This Saturday is the fall version of Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon, so I thought I'd toss a reminder out there in case to anyone wants to join me in this most laidback of reading marathons. (Really, the only "rule" is just to read, as much as you want/can. I see people setting page goals or time goals, but I just give myself permission to do nothing but read for the entire day. It is pretty awesome.) I did the spring version and ended up reading 3 books start-to-finish and finishing off a 4th, which is at least 10% of my reading output for the year in a single day.
I went through my goodreads and created a shelf to act as a tentative TBR.
I actually had an entirely different focus when I started putting the list together, but then Margaret Stohl's YA Black Widow: Forever Red was released yesterday and kept pinging up on my various social media feeds (with much positive energy, too.) My brain glommed onto it and since I pick my TBR based on what pops at me as I look over all the books I own but haven't read, it suddenly moved into the pole position and brought the Edmonson/Noto Black Widow run with it, too. The library hold list coughed up The Raven Boys, which I know you all love, so I'm excited about that, too. I'm really having fun with Dead Beat (Dresden #7, with the zombies), so that gives me a seasonally-appropriate audio book to take care of any time I can't actually be reading, and I'll probably tear through the rest of Malice at the Palace. And then we'll see what pops next.
All in all, it's looking to be an excellent day, and the weather might cooperate and stay cool enough that I can have a fire while I read. VERY EXCITED.
