It’s Monday, what are you reading?—a weekly blog meme began by Sheila at Book Journey.
The finish line is in sight, people! And by that I mean the end of the school year. FINALLY. This was a rough semester and I’m more than ready for a slow-down. I still work year-round, but summers are infinitely more chill than the academic year, naturally. Plus, I have a few trips to Wisconsin to look forward to!
Saturday was Dewey’s 24-Hour Readathon, and since for the first time ever I didn’t have a concert in the evening (and dress rehearsal during the day), I was thrilled to join in the fun. However! My husband had a concert that night I attended… and we had to go to the farmers market for groceries in the morning (and I know for a fact I would never stay awake through 24 full hours), my participation was limited.
Veteran readathon-ers recommend against long, heavy non-fiction, but I have barely been able to put down Columbine by Dave Cullen, so I pretty much just read that the whole day (and into Sunday a bit, since I missed some reading time on Saturday). I ended up reading just over 200 pages over the weekend, which is a real feat considering how ridiculously busy the last few weeks have been. Bonus—Columbine is off my TBR Pile Challenge list! Hopefully I can join the next readathon and will be better prepared to have a plan, snacks, and track my time and pages.
This week I’m planning on review posts for Hausfrau by Jill Alexander Essbaum which I finished last week, Columbine, and my April reading recap.
What are you reading this week?
Columbine is an important read, I’m glad it held your attention. Congratulations on achieving your readathon goal.
It absolutely did, just the same way Helter Skelter did for me last summer. I hope next readathon I will be a little more prepared and organized ahead of time! 🙂
