OMG my worst result this year during #24B4Monday with only 1 hour and 13 minutes 😅 It was a busy weekend with many friends and cool activities. I went bookshopping 😎 @TheReadingMermaid @andrew65 @jb72

October is my month to get back into the litsy community. Participating in #allhallowsreadswap, #teamstoker #scarathlon, and now #BFCr4
My goals for this is to read 6 books, eat less sugar and meditate at least 3x a week. Anything that keeps me accountable and also mentally healthy as a prep for my wedding in January is welcomed. Thanks @wanderinglynn for organizing this

Final total for #24B4Monday I did not complete the goal I set ☹️ but I did finish these two audiobooks and enjoyed them. 😃

Thank you @jb72 @Andrew65 and @TheReadingMermaid for hosting.

Here is my wrap up for this month's readathon.

Finished: The Path Between Worlds
< 50 pages: Skyward
Good Start: Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts

Despite a very busy weekend I still managed to get some serious read time in. I love how this readathon challenges me to read more! Many thanks to our 3 lovely hosts! 😍😍😍

I fell asleep before posting. It ended up being a busier weekend than I expected but a very respectable 20 hours of reading. I finished two books and got half way each of the others! I ❤️ #24B4Monday
@TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65 @jb72

Final count for #24b4monday = 20h5m! I had planned to read more but just decided that was enough and binge watched new episodes of my favorite series on Netflix instead! Thanks for another fun readathon hosts @TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65 @jb72 Same time next month!!

I didn't quite make the 12 hours I was aiming for, life gets in the way, but I'm happy with my numbers anyway.

Thank you @Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid and @jb72 for hosting another fun readathon. See you again in October!!

#24B4Monday #readathon total 17 hrs 33 min. I got a little distracted today and couldn't decide on what to read so I missed my goal by 27 min. Thank you so much for hosting @TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65 @jb72 ! I look forward to next month! 😙

#24b4monday Total time: 26 hrs 14 min. It is so much easier to reach a goal when work isn't getting in the way. And I've broken my reading slump! All 5 books pictured were read. All will help in at least 1 challenge I'm working on, but I'll figure that out tomorrow.

This day 2 Check-in time. I have been going nonstop today and this is the first time I have been able to sit down and caught up on Litsy. Some audio listening today and hopefully a few more hours before I have to call it quits. 🧡📖

My final time for this month‘s #24b4Monday readathon was around 20 hours- not sure exactly because I accidentally blanked out my stopwatch 🙄 I finished The Return and After The End, and made good dents in the rest. Thanks hosts! It was a great weekend!

Day 3 - #24B4Monday #Readathon

Finished Neverworld Wake by Marisha Pessl
Finished The Beekeeper‘s Apprentice by Laurie R King
Finished The Words Between Us by Erin Bartels
Started Playing Dead by Monique Faison Ross

Final time for this month for #24B4Monday Readathon 18 hrs 25 mins. Very much down on previous months, but did finish 4 books.
Health issues getting in the way!

Audiodecorating for Halloween 🎃 It‘s still 90 degrees here, but I‘m trying to think positive. I have about 18 hours in for #24b4Monday. I might make it this time! If not I‘ve read some great books, and my house looks fun.

Update for #24b4monday. Only read 4 hours yesterday, so that‘s 7 hrs total so far. Almost finished Travelers yesterday.
This morning, I‘ve been listening to Dopesick while cooking & organizing for all the Halloween events on Litsy. Will finish both books soon.
@Andrew65 @jb72 @TheReadingMermaid

Day two of #24b4Monday was fun. Some Starbucks reading, a long trip to the library that included free glitter tattoos, and 14 hours on the clock. Not sure I‘ll hit 24, but hoping to finish one more book today!

Day 2 of #24b4monday is in the books! 2 books and 1 graphic novel read in 6h:41m, putting me just shy of the 15 hour mark so far. Looks like I have to do some catching up!

@thereadingmermaid @jb72 @andrew65

So I'm trying to decide if I want to finish up the #24B4Monday #readathon with Zora Neale Hurston or Stephen King for my audio book selection. Choices, choices...

I'm finishing The 158-Pound Marriage on Kindle and about to start Wilder Girls in print.

@TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65 @jb72

I'm hoping I make my 18-hour goal.

Day 2 - #24B4Monday #Readathon

Finished Neverworld Wake by Marisha Pessl
Finished The Beekeeper‘s Apprentice by Laurie R. King
Still Reading The Words Between Us by Erin Bartels

#24B4Monday @Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid @jb72

I forgot to post Friday's total time. I worked all day so didn't get much reading time in. Today has been better. Currently working on Skyward by Brandon Sanderson.

Snacking on this day of reading and reviewing a handful of kiddos books 💕

Back at it, with a treat to keep me going. #24b4Monday

I completely forgot about #24B4Monday probably because this week has KICKED. MY. BUTT. 3 presentations/workshops, a whole lot of coughing and not sleeping, and low self-esteem. But I am going to start this weekend off with some lighter readings!

#24b4monday #readathon @andrew65 @jb72 @TheReadingMermaid

End of Day 1! Three books read from start to finish and a little over eight hours read! I'll take it! On to Day 2!

Day 1 check in for #24b4Monday . I finished The Return (my #LMPBC book for the month), and am turning the corner on Accidental Presidents. I had plenty of time for reading and #audioworking today, but that definitely won‘t be the case tomorrow.

#24B4Monday #readathon Day 1 closing with a respectable 6 hrs 56 min, 2 books at least started begun, Shiver finished. And here's a dog frog butt! 😂

@TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65 @jb72

As you can see from my posts I had decided to participate! I have a 3 day weekend this weekend but I don‘t think I‘ll be able to reach 24hrs... unfortunately I do have responsibilities!

I wasn‘t going to participate but decided to after getting in about 3 hours reading today between audio & physical. I didn‘t time it exactly.
I have obligations this weekend & might actually go see a movie, so I don‘t think I‘ll get 24 hrs. Still thought it would be fun.

#24b4monday

Things have been picking up at work & I‘ve been so exhausted in the evenings that I haven‘t gone through my Litsy feed much lately. That‘s my excuse for forgetting that today was the first day of #24b4monday, & for the fact that while I listened to nearly 5 hours of audio yesterday, my readathon total for today is only 20 minutes. 😭 Despite some migraine related visual issues, I‘m going to try to read a little of my current ebook before bed.

Day 1 - #24B4Monday #Readathon

Finished Neverworld Wake by Marisha Pessl
Started The Words Between Us by Erin Bartels

I‘m staying positive this morning, and happily stating that I‘ve got 2 hours clocked in for #24b4monday.... instead of saying that I COULD NOT sleep last night. 😂😂 Works going to be rough if I don‘t get some coffee in my system ASAP.

Here we go! #24b4Monday

Here are my reads planned for this weekend‘s #24B4Monday #Readathon! Finishing up my current reads and library books before October.
@TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65 @jb72

It‘s that time again! I‘m currently working on several books, hoping to finish a couple before Monday. #24b4Monday @TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65 @jb72

So excited to get back in the game and dedicate time this weekend! Trying to finish #litsyatoz #letterk #letterp. Goal for 13 hours!!!

Woo Hoo!! Time for another readathon, I really look forward to these. Of course, I'm working all weekend but I'll try to get in as many hours as I can.
@@TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65 @jb72

My only goal for this month‘s #24B4Monday is to finish one of these books. IDEC which one. I‘ve been reading all of them for a month or more trying to battle this dumb slump and I‘m bound and determined to finish one. I feel like it will unlock the slump door if I do.

Happy Reading everyone!

#24b4monday #readathon @andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid @jb72

Here are my selections for the weekend!

-The End of the Ocean by Maja Lunde (ARC)
