Welcome to Litsy!

Total hours read is 26.5 for the #20in4 readathon.

A good day 3 for #20in4. Finished one book, read 447 in 6 hrs 42 mins.

Overall totals

Read 4/6 books

Read 1276 / 1600 Pages

Read 17hrs 10 mins / 24 hours.

Not sure I‘ll quite get to the time or books target but should hopefully be close.

#Rushathon #SeriesLove2023 Got up to date with one series during the day which is always good.

I had a very productive September and managed to finish 12 novels, 3 graphic novels and a number of short stories. Much of this was from the 2023 Hugo Awards ballot, and I got my votes in before the end of the month! #hugo2023

Thanks to @TheSpineView for hosting!

September 2023

#20in4 @Andrew65

Running behind today. This is actually yesterday's total for hours read. I started Eye of the Needle. Thinking I'll add a second book to mix.

September wrap-up. I read 10 books, which is more than I‘ve read in a single month for quite some time. Clearly I need to do more readathons!

#SummerEndReadathon @TheSpineView

Well after one day of #20in4 I‘ve completely upended my plan for this Readathon 🤣

I bailed on Severance and Rabbit Hutch, and am now trying to clear out some books from Scribd and my kindle before the day ends. Tomorrow starts #scarathlon and everything spooky 🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻

This is what I‘m reading for the #20in4 readathon this weekend. I had a handyman come repair a bathroom door this morning, so my house is actually pretty clean! Never want the repair guy passing judgement on my housekeeping. 😂 More time for reading this weekend as a result.

End of day 1 of #20in4

384 pages read / 1600 (16 pages off track)
1/6 books finished
4 hrs 55 mins / 24 hours (1 hr 5mins off track)

Books Finished

My Man Jeeves - 256 Pages 🎧

#SummerEndReadathon #RushAThon

My goals for the #20in4 readathon this weekend are to finish the top 3 books to finish up my September goals.

Then I will start on some #Scarathlon (a library book & stories) for Team #SpookyGhostClub & to read my sections for #SundayBuddyRead & #JaneAdjacent with the #Pemberlittens as well as my usual work leadership books section for my Tuesday classes.

I‘ve been in a bit of a slump this month so I‘m hoping #20in4 can break me out. With the house to myself this weekend, hopefully, I can find 20 hours!!

Thanks for hosting, @Andrew65

My goal for the #20in4 #Readathon is to read 10 chapters per day. Today and tomorrow I'm finishing up reads before the #Scarathlon starts - 2 chapters of A Passage to India, 7 chapters of Old New York, and the rest will be Passage by Lois Bujold.

On October 1st I'm reading Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson and starting some new buddy reads for the month.

@Andrew65

@andrew65 #20in4 #readathon Goals:

📖The Most Likely Club ch16-23 plus answer week 3 & 4 discussion questions
📖The Ivy Tree ch 1-3 plus answer week 1 questions
📖 Adult Assembly Required ch 33-45 to send to a friend
⬆️ All #sundaybuddyread books

🎧Finish Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress
🎧 Finish Happily Ever After

🖋 Maybe I'll even review a couple books & recap my weak Q3

📚 Start my China Overview... if there's time.

I seem to be on a bit of a roll with my reading at the moment, so I‘m jumping in on this one - I want to make a start on You Could Be So Pretty by Holly Bourne, and get through all 4 books in Toshikazu Kawaguchi‘s Before the Coffee Gets Cold series

#20in4 #Readathon @Andrew65

I‘m joining #20in24 this month!
My goal is 20 hours of reading, but hoping for more! 😃

I'm ready for another #20in4 readathon hosted by @Andrew65! It'll be extra fun this time around, as it overlaps with the beginning of #scarathlon.

I'll be trying for 20 hours again, though I've never managed it before and will be happy enough if I can make 12.

Friday sees the start of September‘s #20in4 Readathon. As this goes into 2 days of October that gives anyone taking part in #Scarathlon next month the opportunity to earn points.
If you‘ve not taken part before it is very relaxed & informal with the aim to either read 20 hours or 20 chapters over the 4 days, or you can set your own target. Basically however you want to use it is down to you.

#20in4 #readathon starts tomorrow ☺️

I‘m on vacation at my brother‘s house in Georgia until Sunday so lots of time to read 📚

#20in4 @Andrew65

These are the books I am planning to read. Of course, I might change my mind. I am such a mood reader. These will also carry me over to #Scarathlon

In addition, I have several crime thriller series I have been saving for October. So lots to choose from.

Goal: to read 20 chapters from either of the 5 books I‘m reading combined.
20 hours is daunting but I‘ll try 6-10h, somewhere along that line.

Hoping to get past my reading slump and get into mockingjay or a cozy mystery by the end 😁

Starting tomorrow #20in4, and of course I‘m in.

I want to continue the buddy read of Clarissa

I‘m also reading two other books at the moment that I want to finish. The Sum of Us is a nonfiction book I‘ve taken my time with. How to Find Love in a Bookshop is a novel I started yesterday and seems to be perfect for a book love since its set in a bookstore

Then I want to start something new, not sure what and have to see where the moods takes me

I‘ve been slacking on my #SummerEndReadathon updates but I‘m still tracking. I have fallen behind and need to read 452 pages in the next two-ish days… it can be done but idk if it will be done.

It‘s been a while since I participated in a readathon, but I‘m feeling relieved that #20in4 starts tomorrow so I can dip my toes back in gently before #scarathlon starts. This weekend my goal is to get caught up on #LotRChapterADay finish A Passage to India with #hashtagbrigaide and start a new spooky audiobook on the 1st. @Andrew65

🤯 buh bye September! @Andrew65 great end of month read! #20in4

I‘m finishing up all September reading! Fresh start to October

Looking forward to the start of the #20in4 readathon this weekend. These are the few books that I'm hoping to finish up first before I dive into my #scarathlon tbr

All are welcome - just post your goals/reading stack.

I‘m looking forward to #20in4 starting Friday with @Andrew65

My goal is to finish up my last two September books and then switching to October.

My overall goal this month is less social media and more reading! (Not Litsy of course haha)

I‘m going to try to participate in as many readathons as I can next month and this one sounds like a perfect one for me! I think I‘m going to try to read 31 pages every day (I don‘t think I can read 32 books in a month but pages seems doable 🤣). Thanks for having the readathon @Catsandbooks

#WeekendReafs @rachelsbrittain

Currently reading the two books pictured above. I will probably start a 3rd book this weekend. Not sure which one yet.

This weeks #SummerEndReadathon check in. Still not consistent with pages but I did add another book so I‘m happy. I‘m 62% to my goal and haven‘t skipped anymore days…so far. 📚📚📚

Happy Monday #TeamBOOkLovers

The scariest day of the week am I right?

We have a chance to get some pre-event points! Please see above.

Reminder - we all need to track our own points. See the google drive for a helpful tracking sheet (or make your own- whatever works for you.)

Here‘s how I did on the Tackle That TBR readathon over the weekend.

Prompts Completed:

Foul (DNF A Book) - Lore by Alexandra Bracken
Free Space - Wolfess‘s Desire by Ethel Venters
Red (Flag) Cover - Affliction by Marie Skye
Watch A Football Game - I watched the NY Jets vs Dallas Cowboys game.

Here‘s my progress tonight on the Tackle That TBR readathon. I started and finished another book off of my Kindle. It was very short. It had chapters but no page numbers. This ebook is no longer available on Amazon for purchase. I read this ebook for the Free Space section on the bingo board.

Here‘s my progress for the Tackle That TBR readathon. I‘ve made up my mind. I‘m going to DNF this book. I‘m not enjoying it but this will work out perfectly for the prompt on the bingo board “Foul (DNF A Book)”.

Here‘s my TBR for this weekend‘s readathon. I‘ve already started Lore by Alexandra Bracken. If I‘m enjoying this book then maybe I‘ll finish it but if I‘m not enjoying it then I‘ll DNF it. One of the prompts on the bingo board says to DNF a book so if I end up DNF‘ng this book then I‘ll complete that prompt.

I just found out about this readathon on Instagram happening this weekend and I‘ve decided that I want to participate. I‘m not sure how much reading I‘ll get done because I‘m reading Lore by Alexandra Bracken right now but if I decide to DNF it then it‘ll work for one of the prompts on the bingo board which says to DNF a book.

#SummerEndReadathon check in:

I think I‘m doing well. I‘m at 41% of my goal of 3000 pages and have read almost everyday. My page counts seem to be feast or famine 🤣🤣🤷🏾‍♀️

This makes me really happy. I like long readathons, where you can drop in whenever you can & you also don‘t have to keep trying to remember the right names or hashtags, because they‘re the same week after week. Something about the simplicity of that appeals to me. Thanks for hosting, you three!! #rushathon

Late post, but how can I not participate? #SummerEndReadathon

My goals are to keep up with the various book clubs/buddy reads that I‘m reading with, and catch up on some of the books that I planned to read in July and August but didn‘t 😣

I would love to take part in the #SummerEndReadathon with @TheSpineView !

My goals are to:
1️⃣ finish The Warmth of Other Suns
2️⃣ read 3 of these 6 books:
🔜 All Boys Aren‘t Blue by George M. Johnson
🔜 As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson
🔜 Bitch by Lucy Cooke
🔜 Gangster Nation by Tod Goldberg
🔜 The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh
🔜 Zami by Audre Lorde

See one you think I should read first?
