Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon discussion

Welcome to the Reverse RAT! I hope everyone's as excited as I am! For Hour 1 I wanted to discuss what book is your most anticipated or you're most excited to read during the readathon.

Mine is probably The Therapist by B.A. Paris which I hope to finish during the RAT, if it's one I'll start during the readathon then probably The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams which I hope to have time to read at least some of, though I usually focus on audiobooks.

I always read a book by Neil Gaiman, a tradition. This time Fortunately, the Milk. I will be listening to the audiobook read by Neil Gaiman, following along in the book to see the illustrations. Sounds like a treat to have after a nap.

I've never read one of his books! Enjoy it!

I am looking forward to The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon. As an NPR fan, I figure I will enjoy it, and a daughter of mine recommended it.

Haha, yes I did!

Toss up between Slave Play and The Iceman Cometh

Oh, oops. Missed one amongst all the social media for these updates

Um, I am not sure. Have so many great books looking forward to right now. I'll go ahead and choose this classic because I just ordered it and it's the second in the series by Erle Stanley Gardner of Perry Mason fame (cannot find the first book reasonably priced anywhere)
The Knife Slipped = Hard Case Crime republished this one so I was able to get it reasonably priced.

I have a lot of random murder mysteries I picked up from library free-books shelves, and some of those look pretty good. Every once in a while I find another series I really like by sampling the ones from those shelves. :)

I’ve been looking forward to reading Ready Player Two because I enjoyed the first one so much and have bought this a while ago but I’ve been saving it for… I can’t even remember. Maybe I’m scared I will not like it as much as the first 😅 but I’m taking it on today 💪💪

I rarely have a set list of books. I just read based on my mood. I've found for me that makes is so much more fun and I don't have any regrets for not reading everything I pick!

I’ve been reading Gone by Michael Grant! I’ve been loving it so far and it’s a really cool concept! It’s also a really long book series and I’m a big fan of those.

I have enjoyed going back to some of my old favorites I haven't read in YEARS. I finished a classic LM Montgomery right before the readathon started - Chronicles of Avonlea. Then just an hour or so before the readathon started, I began Further Chronicles of Avonlea.

I'm also most looking forward to a reread. I adored The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison when it first came out, and this is the perfect time to reread it before reading the recently released second book.

Wow! Lots of re-reads!

I don't have a specific book I'm anticipating, but I'm anticipating finishing a couple of books and getting out of a reading slump

Really looking forward to reading a decent chunk of Under Heaven by Guy Gavriel Kay. But I'd like to start and finish a shorter book before the readathon is over.

Found a copy in our neighbourhood’s little library, looking forward to it but won’t manage to read it during this readathon I’m afraid

Looking forward to Agatha Christie’s Crooked House, cause it’s an easy read and I love mysteries so ideal for the readathon.
Also looking forward to making a dent in Stephen King’s Rose Madder
