Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon discussion

We will not be hosting a full readathon for New Year's Eve, but many of us are reading, readathon style, anyway. So, unofficially we may as well have a Dewey's readathon weekend from now through as much of January 1st as you wish to include. Let's send out 2023 in good form and usher in the new year with some great, quality reading. What are you reading?

Thank you Jaime. I can do this.
I am halfway through The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler. Technological, Social, and Ecological science fiction mixed together.

I plan to read both
The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin.
Gimpel the Fool and Other Stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer

I plan to read tomorrow and Sunday morning. Sunday evening I‘m with friends, celebrating New Year.

I am currently reading:
Lock In by Scalzi John, paper, finished — replaced by Small Spaces
In the Lives of Puppets by T.J. Klune, audio

Oh, yay! I'm in!

These are not all my started-but-unfinished books, but they'll pit a nice dent on my currently-reading stack. I am also rereading the Chronicles of Narnia and The Dark Is Rising series, so they may be among my completed books this weekend too.

This is perfect! Nicely timed to help me hit my GR goal for 2023.
I need to finish The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Le Guin and then sneak in a short book to finish the year.
I'm tracking on my thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Sounds fun, I'm trying to wrap up some books and goals for the 1st

I'm reading . My goal by midnight tomorrow night is to finish these and read .
My first read of 2024 will be . I want to get it read and reviewed before I give birth. I'm due on Jan 9 and the book publishes on Jan 16!

I won't be staying up tonight (I've gotten little enough sleep in the last week lol) but I will be reading a lot for the rest of today, as well as tomorrow.

Alas, I will once again be carrying over unfinished books to the new year, but I hope to finish both Under Heaven and The Dead Girlfriend. Under Heaven will be a major challenge. If I'm very ambitious I might also finish Pierre and Jean.

I'm reading Mammoths at the Gates by Nghi Vo.

I should be able to read for a bunch of tomorrow and into New Years Day.

I the world of nonfiction, I just finished Being Peace by Thich Nhat Hanh.

And I made progress with Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond.

I usually focus more on fiction during a readathon but I was already in the middle of these.

I hope everyone's having a great New Years weekend reading!

I finished and read Saturday and yesterday!
I have started reading today!

I finished All Sinners Bleed by a hair before I went to bed last night AND met my reading goal in the process.

@ Nora. I too have an appreciation for he writing of Thich Nhat Hanh--particularly this book.

@ Lynette. Congratulations on meeting your goal :-)

I finished last half of The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler. When I review, I will rate 5 stars.

I started and finished The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin

I started--about 1/3 through--Gimpel the Fool and Other Stories. Dark fairy-tale stories for adults. Too much emotionally/spiritually to take in one day. I will continue on--slowly, considering and pondering.

Finished:
The Librarianist
Confession

Read about halfway through:
The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store
American Mermaid

Happy new year to this little corner of Goodreads!
