"Books are a uniquely portable magic." – Stephen King
The Clear Your Shit Readathon (website here, twitter here, schedule here, Storygraph challenge here) is focused on books you already own. The introduction to the readathon is here and my tag to the reaadathon is here. Week 3’s write up is here. I’m still behind with this readathon but is it possible that I may be catching up a little? Live in hope!
The Clear Your Shit Readathon (website here, twitter here, schedule here, Storygraph challenge here) is focused on books you already own. I’m already behind since I’m only on Week 2 now, but I did manage to get to a few books I’ve had for a while but hadn’t read.Week One and the introduction to the readathon is here.
Okay, October didn’t go as I wanted to in terms of a lot of things and definitely in terms of reading. It wasn’t bad and I did get to a lot of books that I’ve been meaning to for a while and I had a good time with them. But I strayed off the prompts a bit and some books had to double up to fit all the prompts. However, I really liked and enjoyed all the books I’ve wrapped up here and so I consider it a good readathon!
When I first wrote started this post, it was in the first week of October and I wrote how much more relaxed the month was turning out to be. Then the end of October hit and it was absolutely not relaxing in the slightest. I had a huge work thing going on, as well as a new kid on my caseload and the whole thing was stressful and kept me busy. I managed to get some things read in bursts but I was very distracted for most of the month.
Oh I really do love November. I never used to when I was at school but now it’s near the end of the year but it’s not as busy as December. Exciting but yet calmer and slower than December. It’s also Nanowrimo month and Non-fiction November so that’s the focus of this month’s reading, as well as looking at getting some more books from my 2022 TBR checked off.
My first WWW Wednesday post! This is a weekly theme by Taking on a World of Words and it’s about the three W’s.
It’s that time of year again! The time when you look at your life and choices and decide that maybe you have to read some of the books you own. Or maybe that’s just me. But anyway, the Clear Your Shit Readathon (website here, twitter here, schedule here, Storygraph challenge here) is focused on books you already own. There are storylines, characters, a narrator who frankly only cares whether or not they get paid, and it’s just a good time.
Okay I found it! So week one has three prompts and this year I’m really going to try and stay on target (and actually read books I own, not just library books!). The write up of the first week is here.
My first WWW Wednesday post! This is a weekly theme by Taking on a World of Words and it’s about the three W’s. I almost forgot it was Wednesday (thank you night shifts) but I remembered in time to get this post out. It’s the start of the month, which generally means I’m reading nothing or reading everything. Thankfully, this month it’s the latter.
It’s the time of year for Blackoween Readathon! I don’t think I did this last year but since it matches up really well with me wanting to read more black authors this month. The twitter is here, book recommendations are here and it lasts the month of October!
October is a pretty fun month for me! I love it when the weather gets colder and the days get darker (I’m a night shifter worker so I definitely sleep better) and after not reading much in September due to work, I’m ready to jump back into things. I have a vague plan of listening to 31 audiobooks in the month of October (Chandler Ainsley did it once and I thought that sounded like an idea I would both enjoy and regret) so we shall see. I have ambitious plans so we’ll see whether they go anywhere.
