Readathon: Occasional List : Geleentheidslys | 
Join me and @Andrew65 in the #shelfsweeper readathon in May in memory of @eanderson #4Elizabeth. She was a great Kim Stone fan, so if you haven‘t read Angela Marson‘s books, why not now? I have lots of books I‘ve been meaning to read, but never seem to get to these books… now I‘ll plan on hitting the shelves! Please, feel free to join us!
My Dewey's wrap up! I had a great day of reading - completed one book in print, completed one book on audio, and started another on audio. What a lovely, lazy Saturday! @DeweysReadathon
Just might shamelessly use this bingo board as an excuse to get takeout later 🫣
Sharing some Dewey‘s Readathon graphics/challenges
I need a break from work desperately 😫! Very excited to just spend the day reconnecting with my books! 📚 @DeweysReadathon #deweysreadathon #readathon
Hit my goal of 1000 pages with 6 whole minutes to spare. 😆😆😆
#Reading1000Pages
Anyone doing the @DeweysReadathon that starts tomorrow? I have been trying to get a working link to their discord but haven‘t been able to get a response even though they are actively posting on IG. I can‘t tell if I‘m too young or too old to work out discord 🤣 anyways I‘m trying dammit. And hopefully I can finally catch up my Litsy feed this weekend. I‘ve been sucked down the doom scroll brain rot elsewhere lately 😵💫
I wanted to get a lot of reading done this weekend at my daughter‘s tournament but it didn‘t work out that way. I did manage to finish two books though: The Clue of the Tapping Heels and Show Don‘t Tell by Curtis Sittenfeld. I‘m glad there‘s still one weekend left in the month to hopefully get back on track. Thanks for hosting @ShananigansReads
I did pretty well for #Jumpstart2025
Only missed my gaol page count on two days.
This really helped me get to read every day for #StoryGraph #PageChalleng2025
Thanks for hosting @Lizpixie

The #sharreadathon starts today. @sharread was a friend to many of us and a bright light in the world. I‘m not sure yet what I‘ll be reading but I will light a candle and keep my cats close by.
It‘s been almost 3 years since we lost Sharon @sharread. In January we will have a #readathon in her honor on Litsy from January 20-26. The hashtag is #Sharreadathon. Set your own goals and make it as low-key as you want. Share what you're reading in honor of Sharon or a loved one.
Let's come together and celebrate life and our community ❤️

#OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew #YearEnd #20in4
Well I accidentally deleted my lap counter but I had just glanced at it before.😄 I basically got about 10 hours in over this #Readathon . Finished a book before years end , made progress on others , so it‘s all good 👍 thanks for hosting @Andrew65
Here we are in a new year and starting a new year long reading challenge. As I did last year, I plan on posting daily updates to keep me motivated. I plan on reading at least 150 books; therefore, I need that motivation.

Happy Reading! Have a fabulous day!

Thanks to our lovely hosts. I appreciate that you put up with my daily progress reports. It was a big help in getting to my best reading year ever. It made me accountable. Thank You!
Here is my completed December #BookSpinBingo board. I did manage 5 bingos during the month. Not too bad. I read enough books to have a black outed board... just not the right ones. 😕
I already have my board started for January.

#OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew #YearEnd #20in4
I‘m more out with the old for this #readathon I‘d like to finish my #Roll100 books for Dec, as well as books in progress & #SeriesLove new library e-book holds that just came in. For the new, I have a #OUABC #UpAllNight box with the Haig book that I‘ll read NYE & Day & my tree-a-day book for #Naturalitsy
Ambitious, but I just have one workday on Monday, I‘m still laying low🤧& several are in progress.
My goals for the #OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew Readathon are:
1. Begin my three 2025 Year-long daily reads.
2. Finish at least two of the four books I‘m supposed to finish by the end of December. 😂
3. Begin reading the January books for #HashtagBrigade and #SundayBuddyRead .
Thanks for hosting, @Andrew65 ! Your Readathons always help me focus (and occasionally panic!) 😉
Joining in this #OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew readathon hosted by @Andrew65
I plan to continue my library book, A Grave in the Woods, then mood read. As usual I have a ridiculously high stack of books for January 2025-“the new.”😂🤯
#ReadAway2024 @Andrew65 @DieAReader
Yesterday I read for 7.0 hours and my YTD total is 2,521 Uncharted Stars today.
I also have a couple of other books I am working and want to finish before the end of the year.
I am in for the #20in4 (but really 5) end of year readathon hosted by @Andrew65
My goal: 20 chapters
#Outwiththeoldinwiththenew
I still have a little hangover from the last book I read, and I have company coming in for a couple days … BUT I also have four books checked out from four libraries plus one from Libby … SO my goal for the #OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew #readathon is to finish ONE more book by the end of the year. Anything more is, as they say, gravy.
