2019 Reading Challenge discussion

Hello!

I am happy to say that the March readathon will be starting in less than 24 hours (for me at least). I am planning on updating frequently and replying to any comments people leave during the readathon, so don't be shy.

As far as a plan for the readathon, I will be starting off by finishing up a few novels that I have been reading for quite a while. Once I finish those up, I will be reading the book of the month for March, which is Made You Up by Francesca Zappia. I have read it before and I loved it so much, I hope everyone else enjoys it as well.

I am participating in the Popsugar-rush this month, and I will open a discussion later today with more details and so we have a place to update each other on our reading journey.

What are you guys planning on reading during the readathon? Are you going to participate in the Popsugar-rush mini-challenge?

Happy reading,
Amelia

I’m not sure exactly what I’ll be in the mood for, but I’m considering reading Sanity & Tallulah tomorrow.

I am reading Cheaper by the Dozen (I got it from the library.) So my first goal is to finish this one. Past that, I am not sure.

Yes, I will try to see if my books match the Popsugar Challenge. I looked through it and there are some parts that I will probably complete.

Oh, forgot the second part - I’m not doing the popsugar rush, only because I’ve already got so many, I’m not really worried about reaching it right now

Hi all,

The readathon has already started for me as I'm in France so ahead in time :) I plan to finish at leas two or three of the books I'm currently reading and also read some graphic novels on the side ! Let's hope the day will be quiet and allow me some quality reading time :)

And I'll try to fit some of my books to match with the popsugar challenge but I'm sure I won't be able to do all the themes offered in it !

Happy reading :)

I’ve decided (mostly) on my TBR -

I’m reading

Sanity and Tallulah

A section of Bygone Badass Broads

and maybe part of a novel

I just finished my first novella for the readathon, which was We Should Hang Out Sometime by Josh Sundquist. It was a light and fun book to start off my readathon with. I just started my second book, which is another contemporary novella and I’m very excited!

Happy reading,
Amelia

I finished my first book (graphic novel) Sanity & Tallulah that was adorable and fun.

I’m working on Bygone Badass Broads now, and deciding on an audiobook for when I clean this afternoon

Im reading Mending Fences, Becoming Mrs Lewis, Toss, and maybe the 3rd book in the Zion Chronicles

Reading A City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert which I won off Goodreads. Interesting so far.

Reading Shakespeare: The World as Stage and about to finish it. I'm also finishing reading In Memoriam which has been a wonderful long poem that I have spent far too much time simply luxuriating over my own slow reading of the poem. Not sure what I will read after that!

Finished up a second book - Bygone Badass Broads which I really enjoyed for the snark of it all 😂

As usual, I changed plans. Before logging off of Goodreads I got involved in a discussion about a book I read in the mid 1970s. I have been rereading Alas, Babylon. I am on page 170/270.

Finished one book and one graphic novel and I've another book quite done so I'm sure I'll finish it for the readathon :)

Finished a 3rd (and final, as it’s 11:15) book so today was:

Sanity & Tallulah
Bygone Badass Broads
Gone with the Nerd

I read this book today . It took about six and half hours to read the book completely, but I liked it. It was a reread for me. Now, it is definitely time for sleep. Happy reading everyone.

Good job and congratulations to everyone who participated in the March readathon. It’s only 9pm where I live, so I might be able to finish one or maybe two more novels before the day is over. I ended up listening to books all day just because it turned out to be easier with everything else I had to do outside of reading.

Happy reading,
Amelia

What good quality reading material you chose Natanel. Your book In Memoriam is one I have not heard of before. Thanks for introducing us to it.

Hi all,

I just went straight to bed at the end of the readathon without posting my reading report :) And in the morning, it was house cleaning time (as every Sunday morning) so here I am now :)

I managed to finish three books in total and I also read two graphic novels ... not too bad for the day which was pretty busy with some neighbors visiting us ;)

Hope you were all happy with your reading !

I’m so happy that everyone had a productive readathon. I ended up listening to 5 novellas yesterday, which were all contemporary/romance novels. I liked most of them (they ranged between 3 to 5 stars). I’m very proud of what I did and I even knocked a couple prompts off the Popsugar challenge!

Happy reading,
Amelia
