repost for @Bookwormjillk:
It‘s almost Friday the 13th where I am, so time for another Readathon! Eat or bake some cookies or other treats (if you want) and make your own reading goals. It‘s the holiday season! Anything goes!
I plan on making frosted oatmeal cookies and listening to many audiobooks, but first there‘s a little matter of my work holiday party to attend. It‘s Friday the 13th. What could go wrong?
Everyone is welcome!
My #20in4 #readathon recap. While I didn‘t make 20 hours, I am happy with 16.5 considering I worked all day Friday & Monday & put in about 4 hours on Saturday too. I didn‘t count chapters but I finished the 5 books I had in progress for November, plus finished a December read & made progress on 2 more. 🎉📚🎉
Thanks for hosting @Andrew65 ! So glad you are back! 🤗

Spending my #HyggeHour with Nancy Drew for December‘s #NancyDrewBR 🔎
I‘m having some apple spice tea & trying these Planters Apple Cider Donut Cashews that I bought this weekend. I find them good if a bit mild in🍎flavor. I think they would be great on a cheese or charcuterie board though.🧀😋
I‘m reluctant to face Monday & work tomorrow & a busy work week with classes & a business review.😣
I didn't do a daily update, as I was dealing with a sinus infection most of this long weekend, but it did provide me with the perfect excuse to laze about and read, and thus helped me finish this #20in4 #readathon. I read for around 20 hours and finished this stack, plus started two others. Some of my favorite Christmas reads to help me feel better. 🎄 📚 💕

I finished the last 40-ish pages this morning but I‘m counting it for November. Read with #Naturalitsy I really enjoyed this blend of history & science. I possess a very brown thumb but find plants fascinating & love to both look & read about them. The short Chapter 25: A Sarawakan Stinkbomb: The Titan Arum was a particular favorite as I‘m a fan of “the corpse flower” & enjoyed his focus on the bawdier side of it.
panUgh!!! I like a good first draft, this was not good, but read like a draft. Predictable. Very fanfiction-y.
She's not like the other girls. He can't stand her. But they are drawn together...
The banter was very YA (fae don't know what a ghost is, but know what Cliffs Notes are?). It's only NA or even adult Romantasy because swearing and 🌶️
I'm definitely not the target audience for this train wreck.

I started this ARC back in October & never finished it & wanted to get it off of my massive NetGalley ARC TBR. Ir was okay. I liked the main characters but I felt like the story was too convoluted & needed shortening & better editing. It had some sparks of humor (Pod the raccoon familiar & the sentient kitchen appliance‘s) but I require more & more snark in my paranormal romances. This one was too angsty. 🤷🏻♀️

Read tonight for November‘s #ChildrensClassicRead2024 This was a cute story & quick read with life lessons told through animal characters. It‘s apparently a series with different animals the lead in each book. It was perhaps a bit “folksy” for me but I enjoyed it overall. 🐿️ 🤎
