RushAThon | Readathon
post image

I didn‘t post any goals because I wasn‘t sure I‘d be able to participate, but it‘s been ages since I did a #20in4 #readathon so I‘m diving in. Today I read one MGGN and finished (after months of audiobook slog) 20,000 Leagues, so I‘d like to read/finish one more by the end. I also need to finalize my #BookSpin list for October, which has been under constant revision the past few days. 🤞🏻 hoping for some reading time this weekend!

Pickpick

This one is a low pick for me. It‘s a good primer for someone that‘s newly diagnosed & wants a crash course about ADHD by the OGs of ADHD. With that being said my biggest hang up is the discussions of brain balance centers. I know some people have found them as a source of help. But they are extraordinarily expensive & it‘s based on pseudoscience. Give me some peer reviewed data & ok. That‘s just my personal hang up as a social scientist. Overall

ncsufoxes Though it does give some good info & good tips/refreshers for those immersed in the world of ADHD (2 out of my 3 kids have ADHD). #bookspin book 6h

Very low reading month for me. (Migraines, not medicated, ugh) Anyway, I didn't start my #BookSpin nor did I finish my #DoubleSpin (luckily they are great themes for the #Scarathlon.

No Bingos either :( Anyway, still read some great things!

aperfectmjk I hate migraines. I have to take a daily preventative, and that doesn't always work. I hope you find some relief. 8h
ElizaMarie @aperfectmjk I saw the neurologist again yesterday we are gonna try Botox again and see if that helps (fingers crossed my insurance isn‘t a pain). 8h

What. A. Week. I am seriously looking forward to diving into spooky season. I have a little bit of everything on the list and hoping for a rock solid month of reading and point collecting for #Scarathon and #TeamCreepinItReal. Not so much going on for my #Roll100 list though, whoops. #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo

Here is my #bookspin list for October that doubles as my #scarathlon TBR! This is definitely ambitious as I have to read some #LMPBC books and continue my chronological read of Stephen King (Firestarter and Cujo) as well. BUT I‘m so excited for spooky season!!!!

October 2023 #bookspin bingo list/TBR list for the month(20 pts). I don‘t really like horror or scary books but I‘ve found some books that are relatable to spooky season. #Scarathon #BatBrigade 🦇#batsignal

Poverty, by America | Matthew Desmond
post image
Pickpick

I loved this one but I also love Desmond‘s work. As a person that is interested in social policy & social justice the book all resonates & makes sense to me. America, generally, as a society that believes in meritocracy & doesn‘t want to examine why people remain in persistent poverty. I understand that things like institutional racism plays a large role in poverty. Some people may find discussions like this offensive or put them on the defense

ncsufoxes Unfortunately people that need to read books like this don‘t. It‘s hard examining difficult parts of our history & even current policies. We‘d be a more profitable & productive society if we would lift people up instead of holding them down & blaming them for bad policies. #bookspin #nonfctionbingo2023 prompt: Running up that Hill- poverty is constantly running on an endless hill of obstacles 15h
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 10h

Listing a bunch twice since we are (somehow) getting near the end of the year…love seeing what is picked each month! I have been keeping up more than I thought I‘d be able to since May (when baby girl joined us 🎀) but I‘d also love to read an extra book this month that was chosen in the past so I can catch up some more 🧡#BookSpin #DoubleSpin @TheAromaofBooks

This is the first time in a really long time that I think I can actually participate in a #readathon !

My goal is to reach the 20 hours…before October‘s #BookSpinBingo selections are announced, I‘d like to finish up a bit of my currently reading stack. On Monday, I can hopefully dive into my #BookSpin selection.

Thanks for hosting, @Andrew65 !! #20in4

Andrew65 Wonderful that you are getting back on the horse with us! Best of luck 😁 7h
