Today I made a little bit of progress on Children of Time, and I started listening to We Are Legion - We Are Bob. I haven't decided yet what all I will be reading this month, but I'm definitely planning on finishing these two and The Quicksilver Pool.

Happy 2nd day of the year! First up, Tiger Lily

I did start yesterday and this morning I started listening to and reading . Now I have my usual physical, audio, and e-book going! :)

I'm about halfway through and I really like it! Female POV which is quite refreshing! And the narrator is very good.

I finished Tiger Lily this morning. After that, I need a break so Frindle is next.

I'm a little confused. I did just sign up on the blog and used my Winter Respite shelf link--am I making a list somewhere (like a folder) of what I intend to read or just posting in this thread after I'm done with each book? I've read 3 books this year so far, is it ok to count them towards the 20 I hope to read this month?

Yes, that's fine, Tari. You can tag books you finish on your Winter's Respite shelf, and share what you read here. Anything you read since January 1st counts for this readathon. Don't worry though. We're not keeping score. Our motto is relaxed reading while challenging ourselves to read more. No major rules. We're all about the reading...and fun. :-)

I finished all my currently reading books this weekend and this morning:
(audio) (audio)

And started these books:
(audio)
and will be starting this tomorrow when it comes in the mail!

@Michelle, I'm really enjoying the Victorian Mystery series! You have to suspend your belief a little, things work out too well, but they're still enjoyable. The third one just came out yesterday.

I'm still reading but only at work/away from home because is my priority!
